The Jeep Wrangler is known for its off-roading ability and its strong, iconic frame. The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK is bringing all of your favorite features of the Wrangler back to the lineup, while adding a few new trim levels. But while the Jeep Wrangler JK is a new vehicle, there is another 2018 Jeep Wrangler, the JL, which is expected to be released at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show this month.

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK is available in nine trim levels: Sport, Sport S, Willys Wheeler, Freedom Edition, Willys Wheeler W, Sahara, Altitude, Rubicon, and Rubicon Recon.

What’s New for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK?

The newest Jeep Wrangler, the JK model, is somewhat of a placeholder for the upcoming release of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. However, that doesn’t mean the JK model didn’t receive upgrades of its own. The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK comes with new editions: Freedom and Altitude. The Freedom edition is more of a military-style vehicle, with black and gray stitching and designs alongside its heavy-duty rock rails. The Altitude edition is based on the Sahara model and includes a body-color hard top.

2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Safety

When you’re taking a vehicle like the Jeep Wrangler off the beaten path, safety is of the utmost importance. That’s why the 2018 Wrangler JK comes with electronic roll mitigation. If the Jeep senses it’s at risk of flipping, it will reduce the engine’s power and begin to apply the brakes in an effort to prevent a mishap. This sensor is in the wheels—when pressure on the wheels begins to decrease, the system kicks in. Other preventative safety features include traction control and electronic stability control.

Standard Safety Features on the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

Sentry Key theft deterrent system
