The verdict

What's good

Removable doors and roof create an open-air experience no rival matches
Trail Rated badge backed by real axle articulation and ground clearance
Strong aftermarket support means near-limitless customization options
Sahara trim adds chrome and comfort without sacrificing core capability

What's not

Noted electrical gremlins and HVAC issues persist into this generation
Highway aerodynamics create significant wind noise above 60 mph
Brakes feel wooden and underdeveloped versus more road-biased rivals
Small 17.5-gallon tank is a real limitation given the fuel appetite

The engine

Pentastar

3.6L V6

The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is Jeep's do-everything workhorse — flexible, durable, and happy to lug a Wrangler up a trail or cruise a Grand Cherokee, with broad, usable torque.

Launched in 2010 to replace a scattered lineup of older Chrysler V6s with one modern, efficient design, the Pentastar takes its name from the five-pointed Chrysler corporate star.

The 'Pentastar' name comes from Chrysler's old five-pointed-star logo.
One modern V6 replaced seven different older Chrysler-group six-cylinder engines.
