What is the Best Rated Jeep Wrangler 2022? We Suggest These Three
There is a Wrangler for almost everyone, no matter their budget, purpose, or way of life.
Everyone has a story about their Jeep, and I’m no different. In college, I dated a woman who was as much fun to be with as her red 1986 Jeep CJ-7 was to drive in the hot Michigan summer. With the top down and the doors off, we loved driving aimlessly through the countryside on hot summer nights. That Jeep made me a fan for life.

I didn’t buy one, which is a shame. Still, I still think it would be cool to own a Jeep Wrangler, and I’m not the only one. Jeep sold more than 200,000 of its famous SUVs last year. The SUVs come in so many different styles that it can be hard to choose just one.
First, you have to choose between the Wrangler with two doors and the Wrangler Unlimited with four doors. Then you have to choose from 10 or more trim levels, depending on whether Jeep has special editions like the Wrangler High Tide and Beach models that were just announced. Lastly, you have to choose from six different engines, ranging from a turbocharged four-cylinder to a 470-horsepower V8, with turbodiesel, standard, mild hybrid, and plug-in hybrid V6s in between.
Prices for the 2022 Jeep Wrangler range from less than $32,000 to more than $76,000, which includes the cost to ship it from the factory in Toledo, Ohio, to your local dealership. This rugged off-roader can fit a wide range of budgets. If you’d like to see more best off road jeep, check out our other articles!
The suggested specs are: Rubicon Wrangler
Overall, we feel the Wrangler Rubicon is a good choice. It is the version that can handle the toughest conditions, and it comes with every engine and transmission.

To keep the price down, we’d stick with the only free paint color (Bright White) and not go beyond the 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque mild hybrid technology and an eight-speed automatic transmission. According to the EPA, this combination should get a good 21 mpg in combined driving.
The extra-cost black three-piece hardtop and the Rubicon’s black overfenders go well with the black wheels with a machined lip that are available as an option. Next, we’d add the built-in off-road camera, the Gorilla Glass windshield, the all-weather floor mats, and the hardtop headliner (to try to quiet the interior a bit). Other good options are the Cold Weather Group, which lets you drive with the top down in the spring and fall, the LED Lighting Group, and the Safety Group, which gives you blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
Including the $1,595 destination charge, a Rubicon Unlimited with these features costs $56,375.
Wrangler Sahara
2022 Jeep Wrangler.
Many people buy Jeeps because they like the way they look, but then they get mad at how they drive on the road every day. If you don’t have any plans to go far from the road, the Sahara is your best bet for happiness and satisfaction in the long run.
Again, we’re going to recommend the eTorque V6 and the eight-speed automatic, but this time with the Wrangler’s optional Selec-Trac full-time four-wheel-drive system. When you drive on slippery surfaces, Selec-Trac automatically engages 4WD (in high range) to give you better grip.
Since the goal is to make owning a Wrangler easy, think about the exclusive Sky One-Touch power-operated top on the Unlimited. It will save you a lot of trouble when you want to drive with the top down. Upgrade to a Gorilla Glass windshield, leather seats, and all of the option groups, like Cold Weather, Safety, Advanced Safety, and LED Lighting, while you’re at it. Your total, including where you are going, will be $56,800.
Wrangler Willys is the basic choice.
2022 Jeep Wrangler.
Getting a Wrangler is an emotional choice by definition. But since prices can easily go over $50,000, a version that goes back to basics has a lot of appeal.
The Wrangler Willys Sport comes along. It upgrades the base Sport with black alloy wheels, 32-inch mud-terrain tires, a Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential, heavy-duty shocks, and Rubicon rock rails. It has a blacked-out grille, bumper trim, and badges. It also has a “Willys” graphic on the hood and a sassy “Four-Wheel Drive” sticker on the back. The Willys Sport also comes with floor mats that can be used in any weather and rear windows that are tinted for more privacy.
If you can’t or don’t want to use the standard manual gearbox, you don’t need to add anything else to the Willys Sport except a different color of paint than Bright White. If you stick with the stick, the Unlimited version will cost you $36,880, including the cost of getting it to you.
Last Words
Not everyone can have a Jeep Wrangler. When going fast, these SUVs are loud inside, don’t handle well on the road, and don’t have many, if any, comforts. But the Wrangler is one of your only options if you like the wind in your hair, the sun on your skin, and being able to go almost anywhere at any time in an SUV made in the United States.
