Jeep PH updates 2024 Wrangler Rubicon; starts at PHP 5.59M

It was back in 2019 when Jeep Philippines first brought in the Wrangler JL’s trail-ready Rubicon version to the market. Now that it has turned five years old, the off-road icon has received a couple of important updates and new features for the 2024 model year.

Jeep distributor Inchcape Philippines has launched the updated Wrangler Rubicon which serves as the top-of-the-line model in the Wrangler lineup.

The new Rubicon gets an exterior makeover that’s similar to the Wrangler Sport revealed last May. The slimmer signature seven-slot front grille is now present in the Rubicon, but it has received black trim on the vertical slats to distinguish the model aside from the red-painted front tow hooks.

Much like the Wrangler Sport, the Rubicon version’s unpainted fenders are designed for trail abuse and blends in with the molded black front bumper that houses fully illuminated LED daytime running lights, LED foglights, and LED automatic headlights. The integrated window antenna is also present, along with the Corning Gorilla Glass windshield.

Other Rubicon-specific trims on the exterior include the Jeep side badge and Rubicon hood decals in a matte gray and red color combination, plus two-tone 17-inch wheels wrapped in beefy BF Goodrich All Terrain tires.

Inside, the Wrangler Rubicon has a combination of black leather with red contrast stitching on the upholstery, and gets a bigger 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. For a better listening experience, the Wrangler Rubicon comes standard with a 9-speaker Alpine audio system.

Under the hood, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four that’s mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The engine makes 268 PS at 5250 rpm along with 400 Nm of torque at 3000 rpm. Complementing the 2.0L turbo is a Selec-Trac full-time 4WD system, front and rear diff locks, sway bar disconnects, and skid plates for the transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank.

Despite being a model designed for the trail, the 2024 Wrangler Rubicon still features a lengthy list of intelligent driver aids like Adaptive Cruise Control w/ Stop, Selec-Speed Control, Advanced Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Electronic Stability Control, Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, Hill Start Assist, Traction Control, Trailer Sway Damping, and Rear Park Assist with reverse camera.

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is available in both two and four-door versions, and retails at these following prices:

2024 Jeep Wrangler 2-Door Rubicon – PHP 5,590,000
