The 2021 Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon 392 - packed with 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque from its 6.4-liter V-8, full-time 4x4, functional hood scoop, a dual-mode performance exhaust, and a long list of premium features standard, including a sport steering wheel with shift paddles and leather-covered performance seats - is on-road and off-road ready with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $73,500 (excluding $1,495 destination) for this launch edition.

"Our Jeep enthusiasts asked us for a Wrangler powered by a V-8 engine, and we listened. The result is the quickest and most powerful Jeep Wrangler yet, loaded with standard off-road performance features that make this Jeep Wrangler incredibly capable of covering the most rugged terrain," said Jim Morrison, Vice President, Jeep Brand North America. "This new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 broadens the meaning of Jeep Wrangler 4x4 capability and gives off-road enthusiasts something they can't get anywhere else backed by the factory: V-8 performance and a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds."

In addition to the standard 392-cubic-inch, 470-horsepower V-8 engine, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 launch edition is loaded with standard equipment, including two Wrangler exclusives:

    --  A functional hood scoop connected to the tri-level Hydro-Guide(TM) air
        intake system feeds the V-8 engine with cooler, outside air and
        separates water - up to 15 gallons per minute - to enable the Rubicon
        392 to traverse water up to 32.5 inches deep
    --  An active dual-mode exhaust delivers an unmistakable sound. The system
        engages automatically, opening valves in the exhaust system, under
        higher engine loads to reduce exhaust back pressure. The driver can also
        activate the system with the press of a button

Chassis changes include a 2-inch factory lift, upgraded frame rails, unique suspension geometry, heavy-duty brakes and FOX high-performance shocks. The Wrangler Rubicon 392 masters low-speed downhill descents by using the V-8's engine braking, revised transmission torque converter lockup control and a 48:1 crawl ratio to manage vehicle speed without the driver needing to use the brake pedal.

Inside, the interior includes leather seats with bronze Rubicon 392 stitching and performance-inspired, integrated upper bolsters and a leather-wrapped, performance steering wheel with wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a first for the Jeep Wrangler. The Uconnect system projects on a standard 8.4-inch screen and includes Jeep Off-road Pages that allow owners to monitor pitch, roll, altitude, GPS coordinates, drivetrain power distribution and more.

The well-equipped Wrangler Rubicon 392 launch edition is also loaded with features that include:

    --  Leather interior
    --  Body-color hardtop
    --  Body-color flares
    --  Infotainment Group
    --  HD electrical switch bank
    --  Steel Bumper Group
    --  Cold Weather Group
