2026 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 4-DOOR 4WD — CANADIAN SPECIFICATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

The 3.6-litre Pentastar VVT V6 displaces 3,604 cc, breathes through a DOHC 24-valve head and runs on regular unleaded petrol. It is rated at 285 hp and 353 Nm (260 lb-ft) and carries engine stop-start (ESS). This unit is optioned with the 8-speed automatic under Quick Order Package 24R; the Canadian Rubicon's base gearbox is a 6-speed manual. Drive is four-wheel through the Rock-Trac heavy-duty part-time transfer case with a manually shifted low range, onto a 4.10:1 final drive and a Dana 44 heavy-duty full-float rear axle carrying Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials front and rear. Fuel consumption for this automatic unit is 13.1 city / 10.2 highway / 11.8 combined L/100 km as published by the seller; jeep.ca's headline 14.3 / 10.5 / 12.6 figures belong to the 6-speed manual and are not comparable. The vehicle is built at Stellantis Toledo North Assembly, Ohio, for the Canadian market.

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

Suspension is a leading-link front and trailing-arm rear solid-axle layout on coil springs at both ends, with heavy-duty gas-pressurised shock absorbers and anti-roll bars front and rear, tuned to the Quadra-Coil off-road calibration of the Performance Suspension System. Steering is a re-circulating ball system with power assistance. Braking is by four-wheel discs with four-wheel ABS and Advanced Brake Assist, supported by electronic stability control with anti-rollover logic and traction control acting on both the ABS and the driveline. Turning radius is 5.9 m. Wheels are 17 x 7.5-inch machined aluminium with painted black accents on LT285/70R17C BSW all-terrain tyres, with a full-size conventional spare carried on the swing-out rear cargo door.

EXTERIOR

The body is finished in Black monotone paint over a galvanised steel, aluminium and magnesium shell. The standard Sunrider soft top is deleted in favour of the black Freedom Top three-piece removable hardtop, which brings a Freedom Panel storage bag, a rear window defroster and a rear wiper/washer. The Steel Bumper Group substitutes steel front and rear bumpers, and the Steel Performance Hood Package fits the vented performance hood. A Mopar Performance satin black grille replaces the standard body-colour item. Lighting is LED throughout — low and high beam headlamps, daytime running lamps, front fog lamps and brake lamps — with automatic on/off headlamps and delay-off. Also fitted are deep-tint glass, heated power-remote exterior mirrors, two front tow hooks, variable intermittent wipers, a window-grid antenna and a swing-out rear cargo door.

INTERIOR AND SEATING

Seating is five across two rows. Black Nappa leather replaces the standard cloth trim, with power 8-way driver and front passenger seats, power 4-way lumbar adjustment on both, a leather-wrapped shift knob and park brake handle, and premium door trim panels. The Convenience Group adds heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Climate control is dual-zone automatic with voice activation and a cabin air filter. The steering column tilts and telescopes manually and carries a leatherette rim. The rear seat is a 60/40 split-folding split-bench with a pass-through and fixed headrests. The cabin carries a full floor console, a locking glove box, illuminated front and rear cupholders, front and rear reading lights, driver and passenger vanity mirrors, a front centre armrest, cargo tie-downs and Mopar all-weather floor mats.

INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

The Technology Group fits Uconnect 5 NAV with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and GPS navigation, an Alpine premium audio system driving eight speakers with speed-sensitive volume, HD Radio, SiriusXM with 360L, an integrated off-road camera, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, connected travel and traffic services and hands-free phone communication. Bluetooth, voice-activated radio, steering-wheel audio controls, RDS, an auxiliary audio input, a Wi-Fi hotspot and smartphone integration are included; the connected services require a subscription. Instrumentation is an analogue cluster with a driver information centre, tachometer, trip computer and trip odometer, compass, exterior temperature readout, engine hour meter, oil pressure gauge and voltmeter, plus low fuel, service interval and tyre-specific low pressure warnings. Power provision is one interior 120V AC outlet and two 12V DC outlets.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE AND SAFETY

Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with active braking is fitted, together with Enhanced Adaptive Cruise Control with stop and Selec-Speed Control, both bundled with the 8-speed automatic, and a ParkView rear back-up camera.

Security and electrical protection cover a Sentry Key immobiliser, a security system with panic alarm, remote keyless entry, a proximity key with push-button start, power door locks with two-stage unlock, illuminated entry, an auxiliary battery and battery run-down protection. Jeep Connect provides integrated emergency SOS. No NHTSA or IIHS overall rating is published for the 2026 model year, and no verified Canadian CO2 homologation figure was located for this powertrain.
