2026 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon: Price Hikes and New 85th Anniversary Edition Unveiled in Australia
  • Australia’s 2026 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon lineup sees price hikes across both the two-door and four-door variants, with the 2-door at $81,990 and the 4-door at $84,990 before on-road costs, plus a new 85th Anniversary edition priced at $88,490 before on-road costs.

  • The 85th Anniversary model adds interior plaid fabric with black leather accents, bronze 85th Anniversary logo, bronze exterior accents and plaques, unique paint options like Bright White or premium two-tones, body-coloured fender flares and hard top, bronze tow hooks, blue Agave Wrangler decals, 17-inch steel oxide wheels with anniversary caps, and special swing gate decals.

  • Updates for 2026 include remote start, quicker door removal via new quick-release hinges, Tungsten-colored stitching on the steering wheel, a zippered bolt-storage pouch for roof/door removal, and a new Goldilocks exterior finish.

  • Safety remains a mix of standard features such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rearview camera, parking sensors, and airbags, while the ANCAP rating is not current due to expiry of the 2019 rating.

  • The lineup emphasizes dimensions, payload, towing, and extensive standard safety gear, with the note that the ANCAP rating from 2019 has expired.

  • Both Wrangler Rubicon models continue to feature a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity.

  • Rubicon standard equipment includes 17-inch wheels, 32-inch off-road tyres, LED headlights, proximity entry with push-button start, heated Nappa leather seats, 12-way front seats, spray-in bedliner, Trail rail system, under-rail lighting, and multiple power outlets.

  • Additional product specifics reinforce the 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen and related features.

  • Key performance specs list a 209 kW/6400 rpm and 347 Nm/4100 rpm, fuel economy around 12.4 L/100 km, CO2 278 g/km, 83-liter fuel tank, and braked towing capacity of 2721 kg.

  • The Wrangler Rubicon lineup has been simplified to two variants (2- and 4-door) after last year’s reductions, with the Sport S variant dropped.

  • Both Rubicon models gain standard quick-release door hinges to ease open-air driving and off-road touring.

  • Interior updates include Tungsten-colored stitching on the steering wheel, replacing red stitching for a subtler cabin look.
