The new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon was named Four Wheeler's “2019 SUV of the Year.” 

The respected 4x4 publication recognized Rubicon's capabilities in terms of off-road performance, engine power, value, and fuel efficiency.

"The Wrangler Rubicon is packed full of innovation and technology, fully modernizing the Jeep experience, yet capability, comfort, and user-friendliness have only been improved upon,” Four Wheeler Group Content Director Sean Holman said.

After a weeklong evaluation, the decisive win was attributed to Rubicon's exceptional off-road efficiency on different challenging terrains and elevation. 

"Jeep Wrangler is the original SUV and has long been the most capable vehicle on the planet," Tim Kuniskis, head of Jeep Brand North America, said. "This new Wrangler is completely refined, with more fuel-efficient powertrains, dramatically improved on-road driving dynamics, and an array of advanced technology, connectivity and safety features that make it a pleasure to drive every day – on the road or trail."
