With the introduction of an all-new powertrain in 2012, Jeep Wrangler dramatically improved its on-road performance features combined with even more off-road ability. For the 2013 model year, engineers for the Jeep Wrangler focused their attention on interior ergonomics with a goal to make Jeep Wrangler even more comfortable for daily travels.  The result is an untouched level of off-road capability, combined with on-road dynamics, fuel efficiency and interior comfort that make Jeep Wrangler the perfect vehicle for unmatched open air freedom on the daily drive or the weekend trail.

On the exterior, changes include new wheels on the Sahara and Rubicon models. The Rubicon models feature new standard 17-inch polished faced wheels with mineral grey painted centres while the Sahara models now get 18-inch polished faced wheels with Satin Carbon centres. Both new wheels are decorated with an iconic Jeep symbol that adds a subtle, tribute to the brand’s heritage. 

Engineering
The 2013 Jeep Wrangler delivers unmatched off-road capability  that results from more than seven decades of 4x4 engineering and off-road development. Jeep Wrangler continues to offer a body-on-frame design, front and rear five-link suspension system, live axles, electronic lockers, and is one of the few SUVs that offer a six-speed manual transmission – in addition to a five-speed automatic transmission.

The Jeep Wrangler is available with three axle gear ratios allowing customers to optimize fuel economy and/or vehicle capability: 3.21, 3.73 or 4.10 ratios depending on model. 

Sport and Sahara models are equipped with the Command-TracTM 4WD system. Command-Trac is a proven shift-on-the fly system, with a two-speed transfer case and a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio for low speed rock crawling. In driving conditions where more traction is required, the 4WD system splits torque 50/50 to the Dana 30 solid front axle and Dana 44 rear axle. High range 4WD is ideal for all road surfaces, including wet or snow covered pavement, sand or loose gravel. Low range 4WD is used for conditions that require more technical driving where low speed power is needed. These situations may include off-road driving and rock crawling, or more everyday situations, such as pulling a boat trailer out of the water or driving through deep snow. The Command-Trac system also features a neutral position for flat towing.

The Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon model features heavy-duty Dana® 44 front and rear axles and the Rock-Trac® 4WD system. In addition to these, a tough-as-nails NV241 OR transfer case with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, Brake Lock Differential, Tru-Lok® electronically locking differentials and electronic front sway bar disconnect give Jeep Wrangler Rubicon its legendary status in off-road circles. This triumph of extreme off-road engineering is completed with 32-inch BFGoodrich® off-road tires, taking Jeep Wrangler to the highest level of capability. 

For off-roading enthusiasts, the Jeep Wrangler offers a Best-in-Class approach angle of 44.3 degrees, Best-in-Class break-over angle of 25.5 degrees, Best-in-Class departure angle of 40.4 degrees, Best-in-Class water fording, Best-in-Class maneuverability and Best-in-Class ground clearance.  And for everyday on-road driving, Jeep Wrangler offers Best-in-Class power and a 907 kg (2,000 lb.) towing capacity.  Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers a Best-in-Class towing capacity of up to 1,588 kg (3,500 lb.).

Exterior Design 
The Jeep Wrangler’s signature features include classic round headlamps, seven-slot grille, trapezoid wheel flares, removable doors, exposed hinges, a fold-down windshield, and modular removable convertible tops that allows it to retain the brand’s iconic appearance and function.

Jeep Wrangler offers many options for top configurations - from the Sunrider soft top to the body-coloured three piece Jeep Freedom Top® hardtop. For 2013, Wrangler Unlimited models receive a revised soft top with rear spring lift assist, making it easier to remove the top, especially if operated by one person. 

A new Premium Sunrider Soft Top is standard on Rubicon and available on Sahara and Sport models. The new soft top has a premium appearance, is easier to clean and keep clean with  ‘dust blocker’ and consists of three-ply versus one-ply fabric, helping reduce interior noise. 

Sahara models feature an 18-inch five-hole aluminum wheel with a polished lip and Satin Carbon painted inner face, running 255/70R18 Bridgestone Dueler on-/off-road tires. Rubicon models now have a 17-inch polished aluminum wheel finished in Mineral Grey with 255/75R17 BFGoodrich® Mud Terrain on-/off-road tires. Sport models carry over the 16-inch styled steel wheel fitted to the P225/75R16 BSW on-/off-road tires and customers can opt to step up to the Sport ‘S’ model which includes 17-inch aluminum wheels fitted to P255/75R17 OWL on-/off-road tires, deep-tint sunscreen glass plus no charge SiriusXM™ Satellite radio and air conditioning. 

An important feature for the off-road enthusiast - dual windshield washer nozzles are now standard and help clear away mud and dirt from the windshield more thoroughly.

One of Jeep® Wrangler’s trademarks is its broad colour palette, and this holds true for the 2013 model year.  Carry-over exterior colours include Black, Bright White, Dozer, Deep Cherry Red, Crystal Pearl, Gecko Green and Crush.  New exterior colours available throughout the year include True Blue Pearl, Commando (green), Dune, Billet Metallic, and Rock Lobster. 

Interior Design
With room for up to five adults, Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited remain the only 4x4 convertibles on the market.

The front seats in the Jeep Wrangler have been re-contoured and fitted with larger bolsters. Passengers will enjoy the comfort of the redesigned seats over long drives and off-road activities. To add further quality to the interior, customers can opt for premium leather-faced seats, including heated front seats in Black or Dark Saddle, or choose the available black Katzkin™ leather seats.  Interior courtesy lighting is now found in the centre console and cup holder areas as well as under the instrument panel.  An auto-dimming rearview mirror with LED map light is now standard on Sahara and Rubicon models and available on Sport.  For additional convenience and functionality, the interiors are washable and feature removable carpet and drain plugs. 

For 2013, Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited sound quality has been improved in all six speakers of the sound system.  

Safety and Security
The 2013 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are available with an array of safety, security, and technology features. Standard Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Trailer-Sway Control, Hill-Start Assist and Brake Traction Control are among two dozen available safety and security features. In addition to these features an optional premium tire pressure monitor system can give the direct read-outs for each individual tire.  Jeep safety systems are engineered to improve handling and accident avoidance while providing occupant protection, allowing Jeep Wrangler customers the ability to safely "Go Anywhere, Do AnythingTM."

Connectivity
The 2013 Jeep Wrangler stays connected with UconnectTM systems, including voice recognition, Uconnect hands-free communication with Bluetooth® streaming audio, navigation and SiriusXM™ Satellite radio. The connectivity systems in the Jeep Wrangler give the driver control at their fingertips. Intuitive buttons on the front and rear of the steering wheel control a number of features allowing the driver to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Manufacturing
The 2013 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are built in the Toledo Supplier Park in Toledo, Ohio, U.S.A.
