The 2021 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited carry similar off-road abilities and features, but the Wrangler Unlimited is overall larger, with an option for a more powerful engine. Let’s look at both to see which suits your needs.
The design difference between the 2021 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited is the Unlimited’s spacious interior for passenger and cargo room. The two-door Wrangler models seat four, and the four-door Wrangler Unlimited models seat five. The two-door models offer easier second-row access and additional legroom; and the Wrangler’s boxier shape helps taller passengers with enough headroom in both rows. Its entire interior is durable and water-resistant, making it easy to clean and last longer, but some rivals offer a more luxurious cabin.

The powerful Rubicon 392 adds a V8 engine with 470-horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. It also features a standard 4WD system and an eight-speed automatic.
