Jeep Wrangler MPG

When you're in the market for a new ride to take through the streets of Chesterfield, Kirkwood, and St. Louis, what do you look for? Many drivers prefer performance, while others want a comfortable interior. The new Jeep Wrangler can offer both, along with state-of-the-art off-roading features and remarkable efficiency.

The Wrangler is primarily known for its off-roading capabilities, but the latest models also feature a fairly impressive fuel economy, making it just as satisfying to drive on the pavement as it is when conquering off-road challenges. Learn all about the Jeep Wrangler MPG in this article, and discover whether it holds up to your standards!

Engine Variations

The MPG of the new Wrangler largely depends on the engine you choose. The standard offering is a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that boasts an impressive 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Even with all that power, it still earns up to an EPA-estimated 17 city MPG and 25 highway MPG, which is better than all previous iterations.

Alternatively, you can opt for the newly added engine option: a 2.0L Direct-Injection Turbo engine. This engine has less horsepower at 270 HP, but it offers more torque at 295 lb-ft. Thanks to the electric engine technology, it can even add 71 lb-ft of torque in the low RPM range. Plus, fuel economy is considerably improved with this option, which earns up to an EPA-estimated 23 city/25 highway MPG.

Cruising Range

While knowing the MPG is always helpful, it's also practical to grasp just how far you can go on a full tank of gas. The tank for the new Wrangler is pretty generous, with room to hold 17.5 gallons of gas. While cruising range will vary based on whether you're in a city or highway environment, it'll still be impressive no matter what kind of roads you're traversing.

Cruising range for both city and highway driving can easily net you several hundred miles. City driving in particular has a range of approximately 297.5 miles, so you can travel quite a distance before having to refill. Highway driving is even more efficient, with a total cruising range of 437.5 miles before having to stop at a gas station.

Customizing Your Performance

Customizability has long been a main feature of Jeep Wranglers, and customization can have a big impact on performance and efficiency. If you're trying to boost your fuel economy as much as possible, remember that more weight means more work required to get your Wrangler moving. Keeping your Wrangler as light as possible is the best way to maximize efficiency.

One of the biggest factors regarding fuel economy is how many doors you opt for, as the Wrangler offers both 2-door and 4-door models. While the 4-door models are great if you plan on bringing passengers along on your off-road adventures, it doesn't perform quite as well as its 2-door counterpart in terms of fuel economy.
