New 2026 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

Looking for an off-road SUV for sale in north Kansas City? It doesn’t get much more capable than the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. The Wrangler has long been an icon on the roads of Platte City, MO, and beyond. With the Rubicon trim level, you can get an SUV that is well-equipped for the road less traveled. And that is why our team at Airport CDJR is excited to offer it.

Power and Performance

The 2026 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is available with multiple powertrain options, each designed to cater to different driving preferences and needs. The standard engine is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, delivering 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. For those seeking more power, the Rubicon 392 model features a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine, producing a staggering 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.

Additionally, the Rubicon offers a plug-in hybrid variant, the 4xe, which combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine with electric motors to produce a combined output of 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. This model provides an all-electric range of 21 miles, making it an eco-friendly option without compromising on performance.

Off-Road Capabilities

The 2026 Wrangler Rubicon is engineered for serious off-road enthusiasts. It features the Rock-Trac 4x4 system with a 4:1 low-gear ratio, providing exceptional control and torque for rock crawling and other demanding off-road activities. The Rubicon's Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials ensure power is evenly distributed to all wheels, enhancing traction on uneven surfaces.

One of the standout features of the Rubicon is its electronic sway bar disconnect system, which allows for greater wheel articulation, improving the vehicle's ability to navigate rough terrain. The Rubicon also comes equipped with 33-inch all-terrain tires, with an option to upgrade to 35-inch tires for even more ground clearance and traction.

Design and Comfort

The 2026 Wrangler Rubicon sports a refreshed exterior design, including a new grille and updated wheel options. The antenna has been integrated into the windshield to prevent it from snagging on branches during off-road adventures. Inside, the Rubicon features a redesigned dashboard with a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system, offering seamless connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The interior is designed for both comfort and durability, with available power-adjustable front seats that are waterproof, making them ideal for off-road excursions that involve water fording. The Rubicon also includes advanced safety features such as side curtain airbags, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning with active braking.

Towing and Payload

The 2026 Wrangler Rubicon is not just about off-road prowess; it also excels in towing and payload capacity. The new Dana 44 full-float rear axle allows the Wrangler Rubicon to tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it suitable for hauling trailers and other heavy loads. This capability is particularly beneficial for adventurers who need to transport additional gear or recreational vehicles.
