Covert CDJR Bee Cave
2026 Jeep Wrangler
Three engines, a returning 6.4L V8, towing up to 5,000 pounds, and open-air freedom built for the Texas Hill Country. Find yours at Covert CDJR Bee Cave.
The 2026 Jeep Wrangler remains the open-air, Trail Rated SUV that defines the segment, and this year the range spans from a bare-bones two-door Sport to a 470-horsepower Moab 392. A returning 6.4L V8, a refreshed trim ladder, and standard Uconnect 5 give Central Texas drivers more ways to build the Wrangler they want. Below is the quick tour of engines, trims, capability, technology, and ownership, with links to dig deeper on any topic.
Engines
Every gas Wrangler except the V8 models can be ordered with either the standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 (285 horsepower, 260 lb-ft) or the available 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder (270 horsepower, 295 lb-ft). The turbo four is the standard engine on the Sahara and the efficiency choice of the lineup. Back for 2026 is the 6.4L SRT HEMI V8, making 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque in the four-door Moab 392 and Willys 392. The V6 is the only engine offered with the six-speed manual; the turbo four and the V8 pair exclusively with the eight-speed automatic. Both gas engines run on 87-octane regular, and the turbo reaches its peak output on 91-octane premium.
Trims
The core ladder runs Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sahara, Rubicon, and Rubicon X, topped by the V8 Willys 392 and Moab 392. Pricing spans from the mid-$30,000s for a two-door Sport up to the low $80,000s for the Moab 392, so exact figures and current incentives are best confirmed against live Wrangler inventory and the current Wrangler offers. The Sport is the purist’s entry point; Sport S adds tech and driver aids; Willys brings a rear locker and 33-inch tires for the price; Sahara is the on-road comfort pick with the turbo four; Rubicon is the trail flagship with lockers front and rear, a sway-bar disconnect, and a 4:1 low range; and Rubicon X layers premium cabin trim over that Rubicon hardware. Jeep is also running its Twelve 4 Twelve series of limited 85th-anniversary editions through 2026, including the Willys ’41 and the 85th Anniversary Edition. A full breakdown lives on the trims comparison page.
Capability
Every Wrangler is Trail Rated and four-wheel drive. The Sport, Sport S, and Willys use the Command-Trac part-time system; the Sahara and the V8 models run full-time Selec-Trac; and the Rubicon pair steps up to Rock-Trac with a 4:1 low range, electronic locking differentials front and rear, and a disconnecting front sway bar for slow-speed crawling on the limestone ledges around Fredericksburg and San Marcos. The Willys and Rubicon ride on 33-inch all-terrains, while the Xtreme 35 package adds 35-inch tires and is standard on the V8 Willys 392 and Moab 392. On towing, a properly equipped four-door is rated up to 5,000 pounds, the two-door at 2,000 pounds, and the V8 392 models at 3,500 pounds, with Trailer Sway Control standard to steady a boat or utility trailer on a Pedernales River run.
Cabin & Tech
A 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen is now standard on every 2026 Wrangler, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice control, and over-the-air updates. A forward-facing TrailCam helps spot obstacles on technical trails, and the Rubicon X and the V8 392 models add a standard Alpine premium audio system. Two-door models seat four and four-door models seat five; four-door cargo room runs from 31.7 cubic feet behind the seats to 72.4 cubic feet with them folded, plenty for a Round Rock family hauling gear. A washout interior with drain plugs and removable carpet makes cleanup easy after a muddy New Braunfels weekend.
Safety
A full airbag set including side-curtain airbags, electronic stability and roll mitigation, a backup camera, and tire-pressure monitoring are standard across the lineup. Driver aids such as Forward Collision Warning with automatic emergency braking and Adaptive Cruise Control are available from the Sport S up, while blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection comes by package and is standard on the Rubicon X. Availability varies by trim and package, so confirm the exact equipment on the unit you are considering.
