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

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

Power comes from the 3.6-litre Pentastar VVT V6 with engine stop-start (ESS), displacing 3,604 cc and rated at 285 hp at 6,400 rpm with 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque. It is a naturally aspirated petrol unit fed through a single stainless steel exhaust and cooled by a dedicated engine oil cooler. This unit is built with the six-speed manual transmission driving a part-time four-wheel-drive system through a manually shifted transfer case with automatic locking hubs and a 4.10 rear axle ratio. Electrical capacity is uprated for accessory and winch loads: a 240-amp alternator, a 700 CCA maintenance-free battery with run-down protection, and the stop/start dual-battery system with auxiliary battery. Natural Resources Canada consumption is 14.7 L/100km city, 10.7 L/100km highway and 12.9 L/100km combined, drawn from an 81.4-litre fuel tank.

The front axle rides on a leading-link layout with coil springs and the rear is a solid axle with coil springs, both with anti-roll bars and heavy-duty gas-pressurised shock absorbers in the performance suspension tune. Steering is electro-hydraulic power assisted through a manual tilt and telescoping column. Braking is by four-wheel discs with ABS and brake assist, supported by a brake-actuated limited-slip differential, electronic stability control, traction control and trailer sway control. Aluminium wheels carry all-terrain tyres front and rear, with a full-size conventional spare on an aluminium wheel mounted externally on the swing-out tailgate.
