For 2026, in addition to offering the Jeep Wrangler at a starting price of $43,995, the American manufacturer is celebrating in a big way.

To mark its 85th anniversary, beyond the seven Jeep Wrangler trims already available in 2025, Jeep is unveiling 12 special editions of the 2026 Wrangler that will go on sale throughout 2026, at the pace of one edition per month.

So far, we have already had the chance to discover four unique editions:

  • Wrangler Willys 392
  • Wrangler 85th anniversary edition
  • Wrangler Whitecap
  • Wrangler Moab 392

While the two 392 editions deliver unique performance thanks to the return of the V8, the 85th anniversary edition proudly showcases a retro style.

Finally, the Whitecap is designed for snowy trails, which can be particularly appealing for Quebec adventurers.

2. The 2026 Jeep Wrangler marks the return of the V8 HEMI engine

The 2026 Jeep Wrangler spec sheet lists two powertrain options: the proven 3.6 L Pentastar V6, also found in many vehicles across the Stellantis group, as well as an impressive 2.0 L turbocharged 4‑cylinder.

As mentioned earlier, to celebrate its 85th anniversary, Jeep is releasing 12 special editions of the 2026 Jeep Wrangler. Among these, we see the return of a powerhouse many thought was gone for good: the 6.4 L V8 HEMI.

To make comparison easy, below is a summary of the three powertrains, their outputs, and the editions or trims on which they are available:

3. The Jeep Wrangler and its off-road capabilities remain legendary

For over two decades, Jeep has offered a set of distinct 4×4 systems to deliver off-road driving experiences tailored to each Wrangler trim.

On the base model, the Command‑Trac 4×4 uses two-wheel drive for most of your driving, which helps maximize fuel economy.

However, it easily shifts to four-wheel drive to tackle difficult road conditions with confidence.

There is also the Selec‑Trac 4×4, a system that switches seamlessly between two- or four-wheel drive to match road conditions and each wheel’s traction needs.

Lastly, the Rock‑Trac 4×4 system applies high torque at low speed to ensure even more precise control, delivering outstanding traction, even among Jeep systems.

In short, no matter your appetite for adventure, there is a Jeep Wrangler that can take you where your heart wants to go.

If you are tempted by electric vehicles but are worried about giving up the freedom a Jeep allows, the American manufacturer is launching the all-new 2026 Jeep Recon BEV, a fully electric off-road SUV.

4. The unique designs of the 85th anniversary Jeep Wrangler special editions

The 2026 Jeep Wrangler continues to innovate on the classic Jeep recipe. In 2026, you still get removable doors, a choice of removable hard or soft tops, and a wide variety of attractive colours.

Beyond this legendary design, the Wrangler special editions each offer a unique look that clearly sets every edition apart.

For example, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Whitecap arrives with an arctic white roof and exterior accents that give the Wrangler a contrasting, eye-catching look.

The 85th anniversary edition brings back plaid seats and bronze tow hooks for a style inspired by the model’s early days.

All in all, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler lets you discover a broader variety of designs and equipment than ever before.
