The iconic Jeep Wrangler remains a favorite among adventure seekers and off-road enthusiasts. If you’re looking for a 2026 Jeep Wrangler for sale, Crown CDJR offers five distinct trim levels to suit different needs and budgets. Whether you want an entry-level option or premium off-road capabilities, understanding the differences between trims is essential. Here’s our complete 2026 Jeep Wrangler trim comparison guide.
Understanding Your Options
The 2026 Wrangler lineup begins with the Sport model, an accessible choice for first-time Wrangler buyers seeking essential off-road capability. Moving up, the Sport S adds refined touches, followed by the Willys with enhanced durability features. The rugged Rubicon delivers serious off-road credentials, while the top-tier Sahara offers luxury and versatility for adventurers who want it all. Each trim adds features and capabilities that enhance your driving experience both on and off the road.
Comparing Performance and Features
All 2026 Jeep Wrangler trims come standard with four-wheel drive and the same proven steering and suspension systems. Most models feature a 3.6L engine delivering 285 horsepower, except the Sahara, which offers a more powerful 2.0L turbocharged engine with 270 horsepower but impressive 295 lb-ft of torque for superior hauling capability.
The Sahara stands out with significantly larger cargo capacity, offering 31.7 cubic feet behind the second row compared to just 12.9 cubic feet in other models. It’s also the only trim with five-seat capacity, while all others accommodate four passengers. The Sahara also boasts the highest towing capacity at 3,500 pounds, double that of other trims.

Tech and Comfort Differences
For those seeking modern conveniences, higher trims introduce technology upgrades. The Sahara and Rubicon offer heated seats, while the Sahara alone includes adaptive cruise control and auto-off headlights. All trims include Bluetooth connectivity, backup cameras, keyless entry, power steering, and adjustable steering wheels as standard features.
Ground clearance varies slightly across the lineup. The Rubicon leads with 10.8 inches, ideal for serious off-roaders tackling rocky terrain. The Willys follows at 10 inches, while the remaining trims offer 9.7 inches, still respectable for most adventures.
Making Your Decision
Selecting among these 2026 Jeep Wrangler trims depends on your priorities. Budget-conscious buyers will appreciate the Sport’s value, while those wanting modern conveniences might prefer the Sport S or Willys. Serious off-roaders gravitate toward the Rubicon’s enhanced clearance, and families needing extra seating and cargo space should consider the versatile Sahara.
