…
The Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Gladiator pick-up truck have been updated for the US market and the Stellantis-owned carmaker has just unveiled what’s new with the two off-roaders for 2025. While feature updates remain minimal at best, most of the changes centre around powertrain variations of the two. The 2025 Wrangler and the 2025 Gladiator will now be available with new exterior colour options, and for the first time, get fitted with power windows and locks.
Auto brands rolling out power windows and locks as part of updates is not something that one would expect to see nowadays, but the 2025 Gladiator and the 2025 Wrangler will be getting them as standard features for the very first time.

The two off-roaders are further configurable with Active Cabin Ventilation that allows owners to turn the AC unit on via the Jeep Connect app before entering the car.

The 2025 Wrangler loses out on the combination of the 3.6-litre V6 engine with the eight-speed automatic gearbox. Instead, that power unit is now exclusively paired with a six-speed manual and is limited to four trims – Sport, Sport S, Willys, and Rubicon. The automatic is now limited to the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol unit that makes 270 bhp and 400 nm of torque. The 2025 Wrangler further retains the 6.4-litre HEMI V8 engine which makes 470 bhp and 637 Nm of torque.
The Jeep Wrangler is available with four distinct 4×4 systems and features a maximum towing capacity of approximately 2268 kg. The driver enjoys hands-free voice recognition tech as standard and the front row gets fitted with 12-way power adjustable front seats.

The 2024 Gladiator costs $2,500 more than the base price if the customer chooses the automatic.
The 2025 Jeep Gladiator retains the same engine, which is a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine rated for 285 bhp and 352 Nm of torque. The maximum towing capacity for the 4×4 stays at approximately 3490 kg, and the maximum payload capacity of 782 kg is retained from the outgoing model. The Jeep Gladiator features a body-on-frame design and is fitted with 12-way power-adjustable front seats. The cabin further features a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. At present, Jeep does not sell the Gladiator pick-up truck in India.
