For The Wrangler is breathtaking off-road, and not too bad on it. The diesel engine makes it a realistic purchase.
Against The steering is vague, the seats a bit short on comfort and resale values are nowhere near a Land Rover Defender's.
What Car? says
It still lives up to its legendary staus in the rough, but now feels like a proper car on Tarmac, too.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
If we're talking ultimate off-roaders, the Wrangler is up there with the Land Rover Defender. That does mean it's rather more compromised on-road, but buyers who want to make the most of their Jeep's off-road abilities can take advantage of Skills Days - where they are taught off-road driving skills - or Jeep Trips, where they join a party to venture off-road.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, every model in the range has a diesel engine. That means you have no choice, but at least the engine has reasonable grunt at low revs, which is perfect for off-road use.
There are three trim levels, two body styles, various roof options, manual and automatic transmissions and two different all-wheel drive systems.
