The 2025 Jeep Wrangler comes in two body styles. Both feature the signature removable doors and roof. First, there’s a two-door body with seating for four occupants, which is great for individuals or couples. It’s got plenty of space on the inside and is easy to drive and park. For those who need more space, there’s a four-door variant with a longer wheelbase and seating for up to five adults. Moreover, both variants offer over 100 cubic feet of total interior space, which is similar to what the 2025 Bronco offers in four-door form. The 2025 Bronco is also available as a shorter, two-door, four-seat variant.
Both off-roaders come with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. In the case of the 2025 Wrangler, these are part of the vehicle’s uConnect 5 infotainment interface. The system also offers an onboard database of over 3,000 off-road trails across the country.
Plus, the 2025 Wrangler has active noise control for the infotainment system that helps reduce ambient noise when taking or receiving phone calls via the system. The 2025 Bronco doesn’t have a similar feature. However, it has Bluetooth® hands-free and wireless audio streaming, which the 2025 Wrangler also gets.
Both vehicles offer spacious cargo compartments, particularly in four-door form. They also have split-folding rear seats for more room. Then, buyers also get glove boxes and cup holders for both rows. Buyers of either off-roader can also opt for hard or soft tops. Plus, the 2025 Wrangler offers up to four auxiliary switches so that you can easily control added extras such as extra lights or convenience features.
Four engines are available for 2025 Jeep Wrangler buyers. Firstly, there’s a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Then, there’s a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder unit with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the Rubicon 392 Final Edition has a powerful 6.4-liter HEMI V8 with 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Finally, there’s a plug-in hybrid variant that uses a 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine and an electric motor for a total of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.
The 3.6-liter V6 is available with a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission. All other engines only come with the 8-speed automatic unit. Buyers may get a part-time or full-time four-wheel drive system, depending on trim. Jeep also offers features such as a heavy-duty full-float rear axle, electronically locking differentials and 33-inch all-terrain tires. An 8,000-lb WARN winch is also available as a factory-fitted option. Jeep says this doesn’t affect the vehicle’s optional adaptive cruise control system since the sensors are not installed in the front bumper but within the internal rear-view mirror assembly.
The 2025 Ford Bronco range has two EcoBoost turbocharged engines on offer. Lower trims have a 300-hp 2.3-liter unit. Higher trims enjoy a 2.7-liter unit with 330 horsepower. The smaller engine can be fitted with a 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic gearbox. The larger engine only comes with a 10-speed automatic gearbox. A part-time four-wheel drive system is standard. Ford also offers some off-road enhancements.
Depending on the trim, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler offers features such as forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring. Buyers can also select rear cross-path detection and a rear parking assist system. The 2025 Ford Bronco offers similar features.
