Jeep Wrangler Fuel Economy

The 2020 Jeep Wrangler can get up to an EPA-estimated 22 MPG city and 29 MPG highway. To give you that kind of efficient performance, it runs on a 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine. This diesel-powered engine helps you cover a lot of ground in between stops for gas.

You’ll also get good fuel economy from the other available powertrains. For example, the base trim comes with a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 that gets up to an EPA-estimated 17 MPG city and 25 MPG highway. There’s also a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that gets up to an EPA-estimated 21 MPG city and 24 MPG highway.

Both the Pentastar® and the 4-cylinder engine are available with eTorque technology. The 2.0L Turbo with eTorque achieves 21 city MPG and 22 highway MPG, while the 3.6L V6 with eTorque provides 19 city MPG and 22 highway MPG.

Capable, Lightweight Design

Whether you’re planning on going off-roading or you just want to be prepared for storms and rough roads, the Jeep Wrangler has you covered. It features standard 4-wheel drive and a solid safety cage. To keep you safe and keep your drives efficient, the frame is built with high-strength steel and lightweight aluminum.

The Wrangler is available with two doors or four. The 2-door model offers an agile drive with a 3,970-pound curb weight with the manual transmission and a 3,955-pound curb weight with the automatic transmission. It also features a 17.5-gallon gas tank. The 4-door Wrangler has a longer body and larger 21.5-gallon tank. It has the 4,215-pound base weight with the automatic transmission and a 4,201-pound base weight with the manual transmission.

Both models ride high with a 10.8-inch ground clearance. This improves the airflow and makes your SUV more aerodynamic. Plus, it helps you drive up and over tough terrain. You can tackle big potholes, rocky trails, and go through streams. The 2020 Wrangler can drive through up to 30 inches of water.

The high ground clearance also makes it easy to take on steep trails, ramps, and driveways too. The 2-door Wrangler has a 44-degree approach angle, while the 4-door Wrangler has an approach angle of 43.9 degrees.
