2012 Jeep Wrangler
New V6 and 5-speed
automatic improve
streetability.
By Sam Moses
Overview
The 2012 Jeep Wrangler is a game-changer because of its new powertrain that moves Jeep out of
the dark ages. It's the Pentastar V6, new last year to Chrysler, named one of Ward's 10 Best
Engines for 2011. The new engine makes considerably more power with slightly better fuel
mileage, an EPA-estimated 17 City/21 Highway mpg. It's smaller, lighter, and more advanced
than the engine it replaces.
A smooth new 5-speed automatic transmission for 2012 replaces last year's inadequate 4-speed.
The transmission is well behaved and doesn't hunt for gears. It was designed for use with
Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi engine, so it maintains Jeep-like industrial strength. A Wrangler
Unlimited Rubicon is rated to tow 3500 pounds.
The 2012 Wrangler Unlimited four-door is totally civilized, thanks partly to the smoothness of
the new engine. The Pentastar block was designed to have accessories bolted to it, to reduce
vibration. This pays off with a smooth and silent interior, even at 80 mph in the hardtop
Wrangler. The Wrangler Unlimited corners well. The Wrangler Unlimited is built on a
wheelbase that's 21 inches longer than that of the regular Wrangler.
The soft top that comes standard slides and folds horizontally on the roof, leaving the occupants
further protected by door and window frames, although there's already a rollbar. The available
removable hardtop comes off in 3 pieces, like T-tops and a sunroof over the rear seat. With Ttops removed, at 65 mph it beats you up; but with the top on it feels smooth at 75 and beyond.
In the popular two-door Wrangler there's very little storage space behind the rear seat, so four
people with four medium backpacks is filled to overflowing. But if it's just you and some stuff,
the rear seat can be removed, creating a spacious 61.2 cubic feet of cargo space. Same with the
four-door Unlimited, making 87 cubic feet.
Wranglers are available with all the electronic trimmings, including a $1035 Media Center with
navigation and touch screen, but the screen doesn't work well with the simple rough Jeep; for
starters, with the top removed, the screen is erased by the sun. It's a challenge to tune the radio
by touch-screen in a bouncing Jeep.
Even with 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, the Wrangler has to work hard on twolanes. But a lack of neck-snapping acceleration must be compared to what it had before. And if it
weren't an aerodynamic brick, it wouldn't be a Jeep. There are seven boxed crossmembers in the
chassis adding strength but weight. The Rubicon with 5-speed automatic weighs an anvil-like
4130 pounds.
Riding a Rubicon in Oregon's Tillamook Forest, we tackled a trail that looked impossible for a
vehicle off the showroom floor. Later, another Wrangler Rubicon scarcely broke a sweat on
rocky trails crossing peaks in Washington's Cascades. Our passenger, a former Wrangler owner,
was astonished by the comfort level.
The Wrangler is no gas-mileage champ. Running it hard, it averaged 18 mpg for us. It's EPA
estimated at 17/21 mpg Wrangler and 16/20 mpg Unlimited.
Model Lineup
The 2012 Jeep Wrangler comes in two-door and Wrangler
Unlimited four-door versions, each in three trim levels: Sport,
Sahara and Rubicon. They all use the award-winning Chrysler
3.6-liter Pentastar V6, making 285 horsepower. All Wranglers
come standard with 4x4 and 6-speed manual transmission, with
5-speed automatic available.
The Freedom Top, a three-piece modular hard top, is available for all models. The Wrangler
Sport is available in right-hand drive for rural mail carriers. We don't find ourselves saying that
in many reviews.
Wrangler Sport ($22,045) comes with cloth upholstery, six-speaker sound system, power
steering, removable doors, roll-up windows, fold-down windshield, soft top, black fender flares,
halogen headlamps, foglamps, swing-back mirrors, tow hooks, part-time 2-speed Command-Trac
transfer case, Enhanced Dana 30 front axle, Heavy Duty Dana 44 rear axle, skid plates, and
Goodyear Wrangler P225/75/R16 tires on steel wheels. No air conditioning, power windows,
cruise control, 115-volt power outlet, or side steps.
Wrangler Sahara ($27,970) adds air conditioning, keyless entry, power windows and door locks,
115-volt power outlet, Infinity speakers with 368-watt amplifier, body-color hard top, body color
fender flares, tubular side steps, heated power mirrors, Bridgestone Dueler P255/70/R18 tires on
painted aluminum wheels.
Wrangler Rubicon ($29,995) is equipped for off-road. It has most of the standard Sahara comfort
and convenience things (though power windows and keyless entry become optional), while
adding rock rails, Tru-Lok front and rear electronic differential locking, electronic front axle
locking, Heavy Duty Dana 44 front axle, 4.10 axle ratio, Rock-Trac 2-speed transfer case with
4:01 low range, and BF Goodrich Mud Terrain LT255/75/R17 tires on painted aluminum wheels.
The four-door Wrangler Unlimited Sport ($25,545) is equipped like the two-door Sport, only
better. Removable doors, roll-up windows, black fender flares, halogen headlamps, foglamps,
soft top, air conditioning, 60/40 split rear bench, 600 amp battery.
Wrangler Unlimited Sahara ($30,745) adds body color fender flares, power heated mirrors,
tubular side steps, remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, Sirius radio, upgraded
sound system, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 115-volt outlet, and 18-inch
painted aluminum wheels.
Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon ($33,570) comes with the same extra offroad equipment as the
two-door Rubicon, plus all the power equipment of the Sahara.
Safety equipment on all models includes electronic stability control with roll mitigation, hill start
assist, trailer sway control, all-speed traction control, ABS with Brake assist, frontal and side
airbags.
Walkaround
The 2012 Wrangler looks like a
Jeep, and when that can't be said,
it's time to worry. It may be the
most recognizable vehicle in the
world. Even the Unlimited fourdoor, whether hard top or soft
top looks like a Jeep. Round
headlamps, 7-slot grille, wheel flares, removable doors, bolt-on fenders, fold-down windshield.
Meanwhile, the Wrangler Unlimited is the only four-door 4x4 convertible on the market.
The soft top slides and folds horizontally on the roof, leaving the occupants further protected by
door and window frames, although there's already a rollbar. The hardtop is $735 option; it comes
off in 3 pieces, like T-tops and a sunroof over the rear seat. We spent a summer day on Jeep trails
in the Northwest in a Wrangler Rubicon with all three parts removed, and it was fabulous. The
body-colored hardtop is new to the Rubicon in 2012. The soft top remains the sportiest in
appearance. We think the hard top is better for hunters, fishermen or other outdoorsmen,
however, because it provides better security for your outdoor gear in shopping center parking
lots against thieves and better security for your food in camp against bears. Can't decide or want
both? The Dual Top option allows buyers to get both.
Pretty new colors for 2012 are Dozer Yellow (nice blend of Corvette Yellow and Porsche
Mustard, and a favorite for pilots in search planes), Deep Molten Red, and Crush Orange
(another search party favorite). Our Rubicon was Cosmos Blue, like French Racing Blue, a color
that almost brings grace to the ol' Jeep. Standard colors are available for those who want to blend
into the environment, whether suburban or bucolic.
Interior Features
The Jeep Wrangler interior was revised and dressed up for 2011.
There are no significant changes inside for 2012.
We lived in a hardtop Wrangler for a week and it was all good,
comfort-wise. With the top off there was a lot of wind buffeting
in the back seat, but aside from that the Wrangler "is more
comfortable than my Jetta," said our passenger, riding shotgun on rocky trails for a day.
We also got seat time in a Wrangler Unlimited Sahara, roomy and comfortable, with leather, still
every bit a Jeep. Good rear legroom, easy to climb in and out. The rear 60/40 seat folds or can be
removed to create 87 cubic feet of cargo space, comparable to a Toyota 4Runner.
The Pentastar engine block was designed to have accessories bolted to it, to reduce vibration.
This clearly pays off with a smooth and silent interior, even at 80 mph in the hardtop Wrangler.
The center console was raised to make a better armrest, although now you have to raise your
elbow when using the shift lever. Gears in the 5-speed automatic can be changed manually, with
side-to-side movement of the lever.
There's very little storage space behind the rear seat, so four people with four medium backpacks
is filled to overflowing. But if it's just you and some stuff, the rear seat can be removed, creating
a spacious 61.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
Our Wrangler was equipped with $1035 Media Center option, and if you go offroad or take the
top down much, you won't like it. The touch screen is invisible in the sun, and in a bouncing Jeep
it's not easy to land your finger where you want it, even trying to tune the radio. A Jeep needs
knobs you can grab. And for all the 6.5-inch size of the screen, with some functions only about
40 percent of the screen is used, tiny little radio words, the other 60 percent says JEEP.
The navigation system in the Media Center is fairly simple in its display. It didn't make any
errors on the routes we programmed, although finding the button to enter destination was
maddening. We suggest you skip the Media Center, be satisfied with six speakers in the standard
sound system, and get your own GPS for navigation. It's a Jeep-like choice.
We went trail climbing in Oregon's Tillamook Forest with a Wrangler Rubicon. Look ma, no
doors.
Driving Impressions
We got opportunities to gather driving impressions in a number
of Wranglers, from the Unlimited in SUV-like surroundings, to
the Rubicon on rock-climbing trails and the Sport on fast
backroad two-lanes at night.
The Unlimited Sahara, resplendent in rich brown with dark
leather, is almost astonishingly smooth and quiet, totally
civilized, thanks hugely to the new engine. The 5-speed
automatic is well-behaved, and doesn't hunt for gears; it uses the
gear it's in. It was designed for use with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi
engine, now refined for the Pentastar, but still Jeep-like industrial
strength. A Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon can tow 3500 pounds.
The Unlimited corners well, and head sway on weaving roads is
light. You can only do so much with a solid axle and tall body.
The gas-filled monotube rear shocks have been retuned for 2012 for a better balance between
handling and ruggedness, and we like it.
The Unlimited gets more out of its 116-inch wheelbase, 10 inches more than a Nissan Xterra.
The twitchy handling that lingers in the Wrangler because of its short 95-inch wheelbase is not
present in the Wrangler Unlimited. The first pleasant surprise of the Unlimited: it doesn't feel
like a Jeep.
With 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, it seems like the Wrangler should feel more
powerful, and accelerate faster. We ran a lot of high-speed two-lane miles, and our Wrangler had
to work, using momentum to pass. We've driven a Chrysler 200 convertible with this same
engine, and it seemed faster. Oh well, if it weren't an aerodynamic brick, it wouldn't be a Jeep.
After all, there are seven boxed crossmembers in the chassis. The Rubicon with 5-speed
automatic weighs an anvil-like 4130 pounds, about 500 pounds more than the Chrysler 200
convertible.
Riding a Rubicon in Oregon's Tillamook Forest, we tackled a trail that looked impossible for an
unmodified vehicle off the showroom floor. Press a button to disconnect the splined front
swaybar, to allow extreme angles of articulation at the wheels. Another button locks both front
and rear differential. Slip it into Low Range. You've got a final drive rear-axle ratio of 4.10 in the
offroad-oriented Rubicon (3.21 or 3.73 in the Sahara or Sport), and 32-inch tires. Three skid
plates protect the fuel tank, transfer case and oil pans. Ground clearance is 10.1 inches at the rear
axle and 10.5 inches at the front.
In some spots the best technique is to take your feet off the throttle, and just steer. At idle in Low
Range, the Rubicon powers up and over obstacles that would totally stop most vehicles; even
though torque peaks up at 4800 rpm, it plugs along like a tractor. A new lower first gear for 2012
in the 5-speed automatic transmission gives the Jeep more capability, with a lower overall crawl
ratio.
Our Rubicon scarcely broke a sweat over rocky trails that would turn back all but the ruggedest
and hardest-climbing of vehicles. We ran support for a 50k trail run in the Columbia River
Gorge, over two 3500-foot peaks in Washington's Cascades, and it was a hard 12-hour day. "In
my old Jeep, I would have been in misery, dying to get out," said our navigator. "But I could ride
all day in this Jeep."
On the highway at 70 mph the Wrangler can be a bit twitchy. Hopping out of an Unlimited as we
did where the twitchiness is absent, the twitch in the short-wheelbase Wrangler is heightened.
But as soon the driver adjusts, the turns and corrections come more smoothly. When the
Wrangler is pointed straight and steady, it stays that way.
There's a huge difference in how stable the Wrangler feels with the top on and off. With T-tops
removed, at 65 mph it beats you up; but with the top on it feels smooth at 75 and beyond.
Keep in mind that the Sport, Sahara and Rubicon models have different tires and shock
absorbers, and this changes their character significantly. Our Rubicon was great at high speed,
either in spite of or because of its heavy-duty tires and shocks.
The Wrangler is no gas-mileage champ. Running it hard, it averaged 18 mpg. It's EPA-estimated
at 17/21 mpg Wrangler and 16/20 mpg Unlimited, City/Highway.
The 6-speed manual transmission, German-made, isn't as friendly as the 5-speed automatic,
American-made. To accommodate the new V6, there's a new clutch with long travel at the pedal,
sometimes awkwardly long. The throw is way long at the lever, too. However, real men don't
drive Jeeps with automatics.
Summary
With a terrific new powertrain, the Wrangler has fully arrived.
It's win-win with improvements to comfort, handing, power,
smoothness and fuel economy, while no loss to mind-blowing
off-roadability with the Rubicon. Wrangler Unlimited, the
world's only four-door 4x4 convertible, delivers a smooth ride
and secure handling. Soft top or hard top, nice new colors. We
recommend the Unlimited for families; off-road capability is
nearly the same. Singles and couples might want to go for the traditional two-door, however.
Sam Moses filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com after his test drives of several Wrangler
models in the Pacific Northwest.

2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Consumer Review
CARGASM!!

Vehicle
2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
Review
This Wrangler is a definite 'keeper'. You don't buy this for your kid, you give him/her your
current car and keep this puppy for yourself! Power out the wazoo, peerless offroad credentials,
and an interior that could put a Mercedes K-wagen to shame. Plus, you can take the freakin' top
off, and the doors, AND THEN drop the windshield! Unbelievable!
Favorite Features
Everything! From the GPS, to the heated leather seats, to the dismountable bodywork, to the
wilds of Utah... there is nothing about this vehicle that is anything less than outstanding.
Suggested Improvements
There is no practical way you could ever improve this vehicle. If you can see any imperfections,
then it's not a failing of the Wrangler, it's merely a failing in your own ability to perceive purity
of design.
Awesome!!!

CARFAX Price Adjustment™
Accidents, service records, number of owners and many other history factors can affect a vehicle's value. The CARFAX Price
Adjustment is a tool that analyzes millions of used car transactions to measure how the combination of all the information reported to
CARFAX affects the value of a particular vehicle. The vehicle's retail book value plus the CARFAX Price Adjustment will give you a
more accurate measure of the vehicle's value. Use this tool, along with a vehicle inspection and test drive, to make a better decision
about your next used car.
Commercial
Vehicle was registered for business purposes.
First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
Ownership History
CARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changes
in ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history.
Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1994 and titled solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers
sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.
Title Issued
A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registration
record on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in ownership. In Canada, a registration and bill of sale are used
as proof of ownership.
