Who Would've Known You'd Have To Be Rich To Afford a Jeep Wrangler?

It was presented towards the end of 2020 and has an MSRP slightly exceeding the $90,000 mark. This means that with the destination charge, a few options, and the greedy dealer fees, it can easily exceed $100,000. All of that, and it cannot dare to take a swing at the super crossover establishment.

There is a V8 under the hood, yet it is the same 6.4-liter naturally aspirated engine powering the 392 Dodges and the old Jeep Grand Cherokee. It produces 470 hp (477 ps/351 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque, delivering it to the four-wheel drive via an eight-speed transmission.

Jeep claims it needs 4.5 seconds to 60 mph (97 kph). No one is probably interested in the quarter-mile time of an SUV that has under 500 horses on tap, but the Stellantis-owned brand has released it anyway, and it is 13 seconds. The fuel consumption is more important here, and it is 15 mpg (15.7 l/100 km) combined.

Should you not crave a V8, then you could land a new Jeep Wrangler for an affordable sum. Sitting under the Rubicon 392 is the Rubicon X, with its 285 hp (289 ps/213 kW) 3.6L V6 and an MSRP of $56,290. Lesser versions include the Rubicon, Sport S, Willys, and Sahara, which can be had from $46,290, $36,190, $40,190, and $48,720, respectively. The family starts from $32,095, excluding destination, for the two-door Sport.

We have to remind you that for the latest generation, the Jeep Wrangler is also available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The Wrangler 4xe starts from $49,995 in the most affordable offering and includes other trim levels, like the $57,490 Sahara and the $66,995 High Altitude. Therefore, there is a Wrangler out there for almost every budget, including some copies that have exaggerated price tags attached to them. The one pictured above is a very good example of over-priced Jeeps.

With a first registration in February of 2022, it is a Wrangler Sahara 4xe. However, it is clear that it's not your run-of-the-mill 4x4, as it has multiple upgrades. These include stuff such as the revised suspension, a new bumper complete with space for the added winch, underbody protection, a snorkel, fender extensions, a new grille, extra lights, and special tires on its feet, 17 inches in diameter shod in M/t tires, joined by a matching spare.

The paint finish is red, and it has a black interior with leather upholstery and the Sahara name embossed in the seatbacks. This vehicle has 825 miles (1,388 kilometers) under its belt, and as we already told you, it is a 4xe. Therefore, it mixes the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with an electric motor for a total of 375 hp (380 ps/280 kW).

Four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are on deck, and it has a 17 kWh battery pack. The 2024 model has a WLTP-rated range of up to 32 miles (51 km) on pure electricity, so it can be a good commuter. Nonetheless, this one is far more than that, as the upgrades mentioned above turn it into a more serious off-roader, one that currently seeks a wealthy new owner.

You can find the ad on Hollmann International here, alongside additional references to the equipment, including the one that came with it straight from the factory and a plethora of images showcasing it from most angles. What likely interests you is the asking price, and you are looking at €105,315 to park this tuned plug-in hybrid Jeep in your driveway. The sum includes the tax on the other side of the pond, and it equals $111,508 at today's exchange rates.

We don't know about you, but most people with a $110,000+ budget to blow on a set of wheels probably have a few tens of thousands more. This is the part where we remind you that you could buy a premium 4x4 with rugged looks and only the delivery miles under its belt from $140,000 plus destination and dealer fees.

Can't figure out what model we're talking about? That would be the Mercedes-Benz G-Class in the G 550 configuration. It uses a bi-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, has 416 hp (422 ps/310 kW) available via the throttle, needs 5.6 seconds from 0 to 60 mph (0-97 kph), and returns 16 mpg (14.7 l/100 km) on the highway and 13 mpg (18.1 l/100 km) in the city.

At this point, the slightly more expensive G 550 sounds like the better deal if you ask us, but we won't be the ones to judge you if you pay the equivalent of over $110,000 for an almost-new Jeep, either. After all, we're all responsible for our decisions.
