Going into the new year, Jeep provided its flagship model with even more ingenuity. A total of four engine options are now available to the 2021 Jeep Wrangler.

Two of the total four powertrains for the 2021 Jeep Wrangler model act as key highlights. Both the 2.0L Turbo and 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine comes on special edition trims or unique models. Models such as the 80th Anniversary trim receive the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine for added power off-road. Meanwhile, the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine provides the highest available fuel economy in the model. However, it still retains the off-road performance and 3,500 lbs of towing capacity as other models.
