The Wrangler is getting close to the point where mid-cycle upgrades are expected. With no major changes coming next year, the Jeep Wrangler is likely to see some significant changes in 2023. One of them has already been revealed. The Magneto version takes the game to a whole new level. This will be an all-electric SUV, the final stage of progression after the 4xe model with a plug-in hybrid system.
Most customers still choose Wrangler for its off-road capabilities. This is one of the best SUVs in the world and the best choice for explorers and off-road enthusiasts. Even without the Rubicon option, the SUV can deliver a high level of performance. The Wrangler is available in both two-door and four-door body styles. And while the redesign won’t happen, 2023 Jeep Wrangler will offer some dramatic updates. Here’s everything you need to know about this upcoming model.
2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
Jeep‘s electrification plans began with the 4xe plug-in hybrid engine and it was clear to expect an all-electric version in the near future. It will be next year when the Jeep Wrangler Magneto is debuted in 2023. It’s too early to discuss the possible outcomes. However, depending on the PHEV configuration, we can expect a lot more EV variant.

The 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with the help of electric motors. The SUV has 375 horsepower and can only be powered by batteries. The two-component hybrid variant has a range of 21 miles. It’s still a powerful SUV, thanks to the 475 lb-ft of torque from the PHEV system.
2023 Jeep Wrangler What about the Magneto model?
According to the latest reports, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler Magneto will reach 100 km / h in less than six seconds. According to some analysts, a manual transmission will also be offered. The all-electric Magneto variant will sit on the STLA Frame platform (designed for electric pickups) with a range of approximately 310 miles.
Jeep used a custom axial flow electric motor operating at 6000 rpm, along with four battery packs with a total capacity of 70 kWh, to power the 800-volt system on the Wrangler Magneto. Another design feature is a six-speed manual transmission with accessible regeneration when the clutch is engaged. The gasoline-powered 2023 Jeep Wrangler develops 285 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. In contrast, a Wrangler Magneto will provide better performance.
2023 Jeep Wrangler release date and price
There are two defining moments for the 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The launch date will be determined by the pace of development of the new design and the Magneto electric powertrain. These two new releases could arrive separately, with a few months in between. The entry-level model should cost less than $29,000 for a two-door variant. Unlimited four doors cost about $3,500 more. Higher trim levels with more luxury start at over $50,000. As for a Wrangler 4xe with a hybrid engine, this model will start around $50,000. Anyway, the new 2023 Jeep Wrangler will hit dealers next summer and we can expect exciting upgrades and new releases.

2023 Jeep Wrangler 392
Earlier this summer, Jeep introduced the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 Concept, and as the name suggests, it packs as much as the 392-cubic-meter (6.4-liter) V-8 “Hemi” block iron. It’s tuned with 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet, which is a little less than the 485/475 you get in the Challenger. It is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive.
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 concept dropped a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 from the factory around the same time. The jeep guys said they were still “receiving feedback” on the concept, and after the animal drove us, our notes were: Stop talking and start building.
2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 Concept
Jeep said it was making the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 not as a preview of a specific production model, but as a proof of concept for naysayers who argue that the V8 wouldn’t fit the shoulders of smart off-roaders. However, company representatives hid a shy smile when asked if there were similar cars in the future Wrangler – only acknowledging that they saw a general reaction – which was almost universally positive. Anticipating this intrepid writer? Expect a Wrangler V8 engine for 2023.
2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 new design concept
What does Hemi take to become the new 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392? Not much, but the shoelaces. Torsion and weight are the main concerns. For the former, Jeep has upgraded the frame and engine mount; For the latter, Jeep uses an upgraded Fox shock. Jeep also has a dual exhaust, red leather interior and 37-inch tires. Then there’s the hood, which sticks out like cod as it struggles to keep up.

2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 Engine Specifications
Most importantly, the new 450bhp Wrangler is undeniably agile. Jeep claims the 392 will hit 60 mph in under five seconds, which could make it a step forward with the 4.2-second Grand Cherokee SRT (which also features a 6.4-liter V8). And with 450 pound-feet of torque on tap, the new 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 is ready to take on just about any other off-road vehicle on the market—including the rumored Bronco Raptor. Accompanied by a raspy exhaust sound, the Jeep V8 felt capable of changing the Earth’s rotation a bit.
Before we get too excited, there are caveats. Since the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 is a concept, not all systems are ready for prime time – so stability control must be calibrated. Depressing the accelerator pedal at any speed causes a small dashboard light to flash and feel like a slightly reduced power. Meanwhile, rolling slowly on the pedal meant we couldn’t force a knockout of the eight-speed automatic transmission, impairing the power delivery a bit.
2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 price and Release date
Because Concept 392 was originally intended for this year’s Easter Jeep Safari, which was eventually canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it’s too early to discuss the potential price or fuel economy, but the ART Grand Cherokee mentioned above offers some pointers. The starting price of $65,000 for a production 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 wouldn’t be discounted, which equates to a jump of about $36,000 from a new 2023 Wrangler (the Grand Cherokee SRT requires a premium similar to the Laredo). And a lighter Wrangler can deliver better fuel economy in the city than the GC’s 13 mpg, though windshields and vertical ramps can limit the highway count to 18 or 19.
No matter the price and no matter the drink, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 (or any production model will definitely work) will be a hot item among Jeep fans. Although there is a lot of fun to drive like a Wrangler.
