The Jeep Wrangler is a popular SUV for those looking for an old-school truck-like SUV with good towing capability. Buyers can opt for the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon or its higher variants, such as the Rubicon X, Rubicon 392, and Rubicon 392 Final Edition, which offer great features for everyone, including seniors. Each of these models comes with the iconic Jeep design and performance that match the legacy of this top SUV maker.

1. Multiple options available
The Jeep Wrangler is available in eight trims; but the Rubicon is one of the most prominent variants. It is a mid-range SUV built on the simpler principles of the Wrangler models from previous years.

The higher variants include the Rubicon X, Rubicon 392, and Rubicon 392 Final Edition, which have additional features and options with higher price points.

For those looking for trims beyond the Rubicon, other variants of the Jeep Wrangler include Sport, Sport S, Willys, and Sahara. Additionally, there are two body styles available across all trims. These include the standard two-door and the four-door model. The two-door models can seat four people, while the four-door models can seat up to five people. In addition, there are four powertrains and two transmission options available.

2. Competitive pricing
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has competitive pricing compared to other SUVs in the same class from different manufacturers.

The base price of a two-door Wrangler Rubicon is around $47,390, which can go up to over $100,590 for the highest trim, Rubicon 392 Final Edition. The prices change based on the trim and features, such as two-door or four-door options. Plus, price variations come from different factors, like every dealership having its special rates. For example, some offer discounts, such as veteran discounts or special holiday deals, that are particularly geared toward seniors. This means seniors can purchase a new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon at a considerably lower price than market rates. One can explore nearby local dealerships to find such deals.

The approximate prices for the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for sale do not typically include taxes, dealership fees, and other additional costs.

• Rubicon 2-door – $47,390
• Rubicon 4-door – $51,890
• Rubicon X 2-door – $57,390
• Rubicon X 4-door – $61,295

3. Robust engine options
The Rubicon is equipped with the standard 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 285 hp and a six-speed manual gearbox. Besides this, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine is available as an optional feature. A small electric motor complements it, providing extra power with a slightly lower intensity. Similar engine configurations are available with the Rubicon X. For instance, the Rubicon 392 Final Edition is equipped with the powerful engine configuration of a 6.4-liter V-8 capable of 470 hp. This engine is teamed up with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Additional powertrain options include a plug-in hybrid 4-cylinder, which is not available with the Rubicon variant.

4. Reliable performance
Over the years, the Wrangler’s handling has been better than its predecessors. Yet, many consider it more old-school compared to other SUVs and pickups. That said, the Wrangler Rubicon, in particular, is capable of moving seamlessly across all kinds of terrain. This ability can be attributed to the fact that the SUV is outfitted with features like locking differentials, rock rails, and all-terrain tires. All of these allow the Rubicon to offer a stable performance on different kinds of roads. Besides this, both the manual and automatic transmissions offer efficient and smooth gearshifts, making it easy to manage the vehicle on shorter and longer drives.

5. Fairly good fuel economy
According to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates, the four-door Wrangler Rubicon and Rubicon X have an average fuel economy of 18 mpg in combined city and highway driving. The Rubicon 392 and Rubicon 392 Final Edition, on the other hand, have a combined fuel economy of 14 mpg. Meanwhile, the two-door models have a slightly higher fuel economy, which is one mpg more. On average, the Wrangler Rubicon’s fuel economy is nearly equal to that of other SUVs in the same segment.

6. Comfortably compact interiors
Compared to its contemporaries, the Wrangler Rubicon does not have a lot of space within the cabin. Yet, its interior seamlessly blends modern and vintage aesthetics that are signatures of the Jeep brand. This means the cabin is compact and still comfortable enough. Plus, the front of the cabin is designed to offer an expansive view of the road, making it easier for seniors to keep track of oncoming traffic without much hassle.

The view of the rear is blocked by thick roof pillars and roll bars, but this problem can be solved by simply popping off the top. Besides this, the Wrangler Rubicon can work as the perfect errand runner with a cargo hold big enough to hold groceries, carry-on bags, and other gear. That said, extra cargo space or room cannot be made by folding the rear seats.

7. Dependable safety features
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has several optional driver-assistance features. Some of the key safety features include blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors.
