The 2022 Jeep Wrangler at Wilson Motors in Corvallis, OR is the descendant of the original off-road heroes: The military Jeeps that were so rugged they helped the Allies win World War II. Can today's 2022 Jeep Wrangler still beat its rivals, including very worthy competitors like the 2022 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport, the Toyota 4Runner and the new Land Rover Defender? Let's take a look and see why the Jeep Wrangler is still a tough competitor.
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler vs. the competition
Performance
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler at Wilson Motors has a 470-horsepower engine that can storm through a zero-to-60 run in a jaw-dropping 4.5 seconds. The 2022 Ford Bronco starts with a 1.5-liter inline three-cylinder that seems anemic by comparison. The 2022 Land Rover Defender also has a smaller base engine in the form of a turbo inline four. The new Toyota 4-Runner has a 270-horsepower V6 so a top-trim Wrangler offers much better performance.
Transmissions
The new 2022 Jeep Wrangler, available for sale near Albany and Salem OR offers Jeep lovers a choice of either an 8-speed automatic or the fun of a 6-speed manual. The competition is stuck in some very conventional transmission ruts. The 2022 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport offer you only a traditional 8-speed automatic. The same goes for the 2022 Land Rover Defender while the 4-Runner disappoints with a 5-speed automatic.
Fuel economy
The new 2022 Jeep Wrangler holds its own when it comes to maximizing the number of miles you can get with every gallon of gas. The new Jeep Wrangler's EPA-estimated city mileage is 17 miles with every gallon and a very commendable 25 miles per gallon on the highway. That compares favorably with the 2022 Toyota 4Runner at 19 highway mpg, Land Rover Defender at 21 mpg/highway and a little behind the new Bronco with 28 highway mpg.
Interior
Customers in Lebanon and Newport OR might be pleasantly surprised at the amount of interior room you get in the 2022 Jeep Wrangler, even when compared to competitors. The new Jeep has more front seat headroom than the new Ford Bronco Sport, the new Toyota 4Runner and the 2022 Land Rover Defender. The new Jeep also has more rear seat shoulder room than the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport, so the Jeep gives you room for comfort.
Off-Road
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler is the genuine article when it comes to off-road capability, while competitors are mostly just trying to catch up. For example, the new 2022 Jeep Wrangler has more ground clearance than the 2022 Toyota 4Runner and much much than the other two competitors. The score: 9.7 inches of ground clearance in the Jeep Wrangler vs. 8.8 inches in the new Land Rover Defender and only 7.8 inches in the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport.
When it comes to off-roading, the 2022 Jeep Wrangler is the gold standard and competitors like Ford, Toyota and Land Rover just come as close as they can. The 2022 Jeep Wrangler's strong suspension and axle articulation help keep your wheels on the ground and get maximum traction even when you're going over obstacles. It also helps to have the Jeep Wrangler well-protected down below with its formidable underbody skid plates.
