- The all-new Jeep Wrangler is a huge improvement over the last model with a focus on improved road manors, updating the cabin and making the Wrangler easier to live with every single day. Every aspect of the new 2018 Wrangler was studied to make improvements, from the addition of LED headlamps, new 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder, a new 6-speed manual transmission, 8-speed automatic, improved roof design and interior comfort. The difference between the old Wrangler model and this new version is like night and day, this is now a 5-passnger utility that makes it easy to live with every single day, plus it retains its trail-rated 4X4 credibility.
The 91% retained value is determined by Canadian Black Book. Here is the link to the information. www.canadianblackbook.com/2018awardwinners.html
Clearly the so call "blackbook" has no common sense and maybe you guys should not advertising for them
It's called math.
Canadian Black Book is a reliable source, all they do is look at car valuations. A big reason for the value is cars being purchased at auction and brought to the US.
well, if you have any integrity intelligent and Common Sense, you should not mentioned them on your reviews, are you going to pay 91% or even 75% of MSRP on a 4 years old used car?
buddy no idea what you're talking about,... do you know what black book is and who actually uses it? Do you own a jeep? have you sold one? 91% is a stretch but has nothing to do with integrity or common sense.
I was just looking for this car's review by this guy and 2 minutes later he uploads it. WTH ??
91%? ? Why would anyone pay 91% of the MRSP for a 4 year old car instead of just buying a brand one?
@M83 Collective
People will still buy it because it doesn't sell for 91% of MSRP after 4 years. It'll probably be closer to 50-60%.
@@Lucky8s Ive been offered 22k by a dealer for my 2013 that i originally paid 26k for. People buy these new because the market is so hot that even the used ones get very close to new prices.

Doubt it.

It's not a fact. It's his own experience.
I clearly don't. If people are retarded enough to spend 91% of the cost of a new Wrangler on a used one, so be it.
Because people are dumb.
They hold value because they don't change. The model from 4 years ago ins't that different from today's (other than the refresh)
I love this car
But my bank account can afford a Starbucks coffee
As a previous owner of Jeep. I can agree with why people wanting to buy 4 yrs. old Jepp at such hign price. A previous owner has already done the work of befriending local dealer mechnic for you. Another word, all the little problems have been fixed and bad parts replaced, now ready for another 10 yrs. of worry free cruising.
MY DREAM CAR💙
Izabelle Elaine mine too
Maybe I have peculiar taste, but the fog lights just don’t look right in the bumper. That’s not what the bumper is for, and that body coloured surround around each fog light sticks out like skinny dogs balls.
Another well thought out and edited video. Thanks Zack. Having owned two YJ’s (Canada’s first 4.0 HO ‘Islander’ and a well used ‘87 Sahara) I love these things. But utility lacked with the introduction of that ‘TJ’ and since then ... I’ve lost interest. Besides the price just became too unattainable for a 2nd car. But now.... It may may be worth a look. I was impressed. Thanks again.
Hate the stop start just give me a key
Same
As always...GREAT review, too bad they are $$$$$$$$
Two wrongs with this vehicle.......... Chrysler Fiat!
Missing diesel engine! I would like one with manual transmission.
I want one soooo bad. I drive a bargain Jeep, a 2016 Patriot and this is my dream but it's soooo expensive!
Great review. I watched this when I was looking to buy one. have the 2018 JL now. My videos talk about how to buy, maintain and use one.
Great review... and the ride in the wrangler JL is amazing compared to Jeeps in the past
Superb informative review of what is clearly a seriously improved vehicle. Can't wait for the Rubicon version to come to Britain.
I have 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It had power steering pump leaks at 32,000 miles.Have to replace it at $1500. Two weeks later, power steering fluid below min line. No leaks this time. Start hearing cracks when turn in lower speed. Such a piece of garbage. Walk away from Jeep!
91%? Umm, how is that good? Like I get it, it holds its value, but if I want to buy this car, why would I buy it used when I can pay the extra 9% and get new? Especially an off road vehicle where you're not sure how bad it was used in the mud.
it's good for the person that buys new.
resale value when you go to a dealer to trade it in for a new car
Unlike you, most of us don't like getting very little back when we sell our car.
@@nicholassmith7048 noone is going to buy your used car at 90%
I would never buy a used wrangler. You have no clue how rough they were with it. Unless your one of those ppl that likes to put all new parts in it.
Not a bad vehicle. But very overpriced. The powertrain is pretty mediocre but FCA charges BMW X3 money for a non-luxury SUV all because it’s unique. Based on the reliability of the last generationis not worth the price.
Louis Win it is expensive yes but not over priced since right now there are no alternatives. I off road a lot (not in a jeep) and there is no other vehicle that offers 2 beefy live axles, 3 locking diffs, sway bar disconnect, 2 transfer case etc. if you want to off-road and on road this combination is unique and since they have no competition they have raised their prices by a lot. Because they can. A lot of people including myself are sitting on the sidelines because of price. Next 2 years we will see some competition as the Ford Bronco is returning and ford ranger. That will keep next year model price increase in check and will push down used values.
Huh? The powertrain is hardly mediocre. Is it starting to show its age? Sure. However, the Pentastar is one of the best naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engines ever created. The 8-speed automatic transmission is fantastic. This is the powertrain the Wrangler should have had five years ago.
Pentastar is great. Driven them since the days of the 5AT in the GC.. Yes, it sure was mediocre then! But, not since direct injection and more gears.. and from everything I've seen, heard and read the 2.0t is fantastic as well.. Really anxious to try it with the 8AT because I've heard terrible things about it's lag paired with the 9AT... Pentastar is excellent though, especially the more recent ones.. Only reason i'd buy it over the 2.0t is for it's smoothness and consistent robustness. guy doesn't really know what he's talking about. oh well!
Scott Bott you know you secretly want a jeep right? LOL how many disco buyers are off roading with it?
efibendor1 not to mention every one is a convertible 4X4 with the most extensive aftermarket of any vehicle on sale now.
Maybe my senior year of high school I’ll be able to afford the insurance for a 2018 it’ll be almost 10 years old then 😢
My mom had one of these. I think as a Jeep, it would make a good off road vehicle. Although my mom didn’t use it for that. She used it as her grocery getter style car. For those purposes, the ride is just not great and it is a massive gas guzzler. With her driving, she somehow got it to get only 4 MPG. I didn’t even know that was possible. She also had problems with the rear defrost wire coming off along with the transfer case being broken from the factory. Assuming you get one that doesn’t have these problems though, I am sure it makes a good off road vehicle. My mom certainly wouldn't be able to drive hers now that she has a roughly 1 hour commute each day she works. That would be awful on gas especially with how gas prices are now, so she traded it for a Honda Civic.
My overall thoughts on this Jeep. If you plan to go off-road frequently, this would be something to look at. I don’t really recommend it as a grocery getter though since that is simply not what it is designed for.
That body roll at 9:47 though. They said things like "you can live with this one every single day" in 2007 when they went from the TJ to the JK too. If I daily drove a Honda or a Toyota, I wouldn't call it living.
The road was tilted
91 percent..... lol.
Try to trade one of these in after a year to ANY dealership their used cars sales manager will laugh in your face!!!!
I don't get the 91% figure either because if that was the case you think anyone in the market for a used one would just pay the extra 9% and buy a new one with a full warranty.
It’s closer to retaining its value of 78% after 5 years in North America I bought a sport s for 28,700 and got 25,000 after 3 years with 30,000 miles

Express o machine!! Good one!!👍👍 Not a bad idea??🤔🤔😂👍👍
It's not all new ....it still the same classic look and design....and that's what makes it a great iconic car .... some improvements but same looks and versatility...
The best suv, i love too much jeep .
But... I do recall reading that Jeep ranks near the bottom of nearly every automotive list for quality, reliability and warranty work. And from my experience, I believe this to be accurate. What would I recommend to someone who considers these.... ‘go out and get a RAV4 or CRV’ -they won’t be disappointed (great mpg, low maintenance, and reliable). Personally though... I’d buy the Jeep instead. So I think many people have a somewhat love/hate relationship with these Jeeps.
proof that people by with emotions and not logic :) The Jeep does look iconic and it is great off-road. It doesn't compromise to suit everyone but it is a hit with a niche which probably makes it so successful. There's a cult following.
It’s a Jeep thing. 😎
Would be amazing if the car runs in relatively quiet manner without much interior noise since everything can be taken off.
Fiat has actually has done a pretty good job of improving the quality of Chrysler's vehicle brands, but they still have a long way to go. It was Sergio Marchionne himself that publicly admitted how awful the JK was during its first few years. You can thank Fiat for addressing the incredibly poor interior quality of the Wrangler in 2011 and introducing a far superior powertrain for 2012. Unfortunately, such efforts were too little too late and the JK didn't really get the love it deserved until it reached the end of its production cycle.
The JL is the JK done right and it's the Wrangler we should've had five years ago.
True. Good points. And as Mr Chrisc. said.... it’s a Jeep thing.... have a great weekend.
hhhhh I can not say it's my next car .. it will be my next ride game ,, every thing you can open it
thanks
Mehn, I want this ride. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this ride, please?? :-)) Dang!!!
Great Okonkwo lease
Get a good education, get a very good paying job, lose a bunch of brain cells, go to the dealer, fork over double what it's worth. Easy Peasy.
Have the Rubicon. Highly recommend it!
I enjoyed your review, thank you!
Just rented for Tahoe! 7hrs.
they did an amazing job at refining this vehicle but still expensive.
How does that back up camera work when you put a wheel cover on it? 😂😂😂😂😂
Chris Ramsey Make a hole for it lol
Chris Ramsey 😂😂😂
I'd be more worried about dirt, grime and mud.
where is the diesel version..?
Bought a Wrangler in 2015. When the JL came out I traded it in.
I owed $26,435
Dealership have me $26,467. Fuckers hold their value.
Over priced
Let them sit at the dealers
They're way overpriced, but they seem to sell. I would like a nice loaded 4dr Rubicon, but you're over $70k with tax, which is well into an additional 3% luxury tax territory where I live. Almost $10k for tax. Screw that. You can buy a slightly used luxury SUV, like a Mercedes, BMW, Audi for less.
I would love to have one, price a 2door Sport S model with a couple of option and you're at 50k with taxes. That's just insane.
They won't sit at dealers. That's why they're overpriced. Jeep sells every single Wrangler they make. It is currently one of the most successful American vehicle brands.
I don't find them TOO overpriced. A catastrophic amount of engineering finesse went into making this thing as great as it is while still being 90% the wrangler everyone knew and loved. The powertrain options available so far are great and if the diesel comes to fruition, there's even more good to come. 33-40k for a base model 4WD isn't bad FOR WHAT YOU GET, throw a set of knobby tires on it, and it'll do anything you need it to.. People want original willy's jeep pricing it seems.. it's not possible! I'm planning to order one next year.. The Wranglers I've built hover around 55k. It's a sting, but I won't keep it forever and the enjoyment factor will be well worth it!
They have sold in record numbers the past few months.
91% of it's value? That was for only one year, 2014, only in Canada, and done by one for profit research company. I can pretty much guarantee that in the real world people aren't paying 91% the retail value of a Jeep wrangler that is 4 years old. You can almost get 9% off just buy negotiating the price on a new one!
100k subscribers. Congrats! Great review as always
Thanks brother
9:24 bcuz it’s a fuckin jeep😂
In 1992 my dad paid $13995 for a 5spd hardtop. $14,900 for the automatic with pin striping. We got it because it was cheap/cool. Not so cheap or cool anymore imo.
I own one and like it quite a bit and gets a lot of compliment. I would love a version that utilized a Hemi V-8 though
Tudorinc that’d be cool
You got your wish!
@@unwantedlinks2730 oh man I just read that
When I first saw it, I really thought it looked better, and sharper than the old one. But it wears off again, and I go back to thinking about the YJ, and the TJ.. and just sigh.
if the residuals were 91% after 4 years these things should lease for $100 a month with nothing down. if it cost $36000 a 36 mnth lease x $100 = 3600 which is 10%.
tmwall25 You’re forgetting interest rate which is 6.09% on the lease. Also Jeep would never set the residual at 90%. More likely they would set it closer to 60%. They are a business. If they get the Jeep back after lease end they want to be able to resell it and make another 10 grand off the next buyer. Setting the residual at 90% would lose them money on lease returns.
Aleks Lajzer One would have to buy it with cash and sell it to take advantage of the small depreciation. Then there's an issue of opportunity cost of the cash paid for the car.
@@gs98999 Who does 6% interest thsedays? thats a serious rip off
This video looks like it was made for soccer Mom's and it's not for those into off roading. Everything addressed in the video talks about cosmetic/electrical improvements. The bottom line is none of that will help while off roading; however this will: "Some of the inprovments of the JL over the JK so far that I've noticed....much larger brakes front and rear. Front inner C's are much larger and stronger. Axle tubes are larger diameter and thicker walls adding much needed strength. Carrier bearings are larger in the differentials." BS&R
Can’t justify the expense,particularly with it’s reputation for poor build quality and reliability.Have to pass👎
Sucks they made the wrangler with the old 8 inch screen when all the new FCA products will be getting that massive 12 incher in the ram.
91% value retained after 4 years? Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. The best vehicle on the road for holding its value is the Toyota Tacoma, period.
What happen when someone just drive by n take your doors off? Yeah I think I might pass on that..... " Nice Jeep thought"
Did price of the wrangler has gone up by a lot every year in the last 8 years ? That’s what driving the used prices up to retain their value. I believe they are now hitting the top of what they can raise the price which indicate that history might not be a good predictor for future retained value going forward (although relatively they may still keep their value pretty good vs other vehicles)
Uhmm Please use Disclaimer that those are Canadian Prices. Nobody knows this is a Canadian channel, guy
Noticed at 5:56 seconds, the cup holder in rear was falling out when he pushed his arm on it. By the way, you can get 5% below cost price (the dealers kick back) at a few shops.
While I haven't personally checked it out, it could be a removable rubber liner to clean the cup holders.
Thanks for pointing out.
I saw it popping off from the armrest.

Anyone know which aux cord can I use for a Jeep Wrangler 2018 and iPhone 8 Plus?
He keeps talking about new appearance items. Does the automatic transmission fall apart after a year or two ? Buy a new one with manual transmission. Old automatic transmissions are better than the new ones.
No side impact airbags and no curtain airbags. My wife made me sell my 2006 Honda Element for the same reason.
Too expensive now, I'm sure it'll still sell like hot cakes, but to a different crowd and no longer the fun quirky affordable vehicle it once was.
@@scottbott8525
The Disco is better looking - LOL ya sure bud
better offroad - maybe in your dreams?
more comfortable - if you have a broken back, maybe
I dont understand why someone would pay 60k and use it to its full offroad capability, beating it up...yet so many rubicons on the road. Id rather drop 8k in a diesel powered Suzuki samurai thats solid and runs like a top for farting around in the mountains. The loaded saraha is the best buy for everyday with total 4x4 capability cuz front lockers are only useful where ur gonna beat the balls off the vehicle.
With that being said.....I dont think a discovery looks nicer but its more refined, comfortable, lasts longer......personally I wish wranglers work on rust issues by bed lining the undercarriage and wheel wells....even where the door bolts are.
My eyes said yes. My bank account said heck no, here’s your wipes and diapers. 😭💩
This is a commercial.
Ah yes...Fiat owns them...no wonder Dodge Ram is the least reliable as well as jeep now...
he meant you replace 91 of the parts in 4 year .. so ok to buy used as it will be like almost brand new
Why can’t they offer the AWD capability for the Rubicon trim?
They do, it's called Rubicon
Motormouth i thought the AWD is exclusive to the Sahara trim? Thanks for the clarification
Pepper Shaker you’re referring to “selec trac” and yes that’s only available on the Sahara. It’s auto 4h. Others have 4h where you can’t really drive them on dry roads in that setting.
It’s true. It holds its value very well.
Not 4door jeeps.
still can't drop the top babyyyy...TJ gang
powerful vehicle
3:11 is a settlement for good or bad,You can't get away from placing it so keep it there anyways
Just got a used
Jeep probably makes more money off repairs than the vehicle sales....
Awesome 😃 👍 2018 Jeep Wrangler review.
At 2:06, not just illuminate but blind t.f. out of all other drivers. Yes, it's more aesthetically pleasing; LEDs give modern look. But these vehicles are too high to be equipped with those. Agreed?
I don't like the leds on this wrangler. Makes the wrangler look fancy and that's not what wranglers are about
Who the hell wants the latest technology in a wrangler?! I sure don't
awesome jeep we still dont have it here in Australia.........
I agree…the new Jeep JL is awesome.
are these the same price as the Tesla Model 3 $35,000
Please do a video of 2019 Lexus ES. Thank you ! Love your video.
Really appreciate your reviews. They're different from other TH-cam channels because most of the time you give a clear and decisive opinion on the car instead of just providing facts. And hearing a 91% residual value is insane. What other cars can get you that?
I'd like to see more time dedicated toward comparing what you're driving to the other cars in the segment. So what do you think compares with the Wrangler? Is it the best vehicle of its kind? Is someone shopping for a Pilot or Highlander going to be happy with a Wrangler as a more fun option?
It doesn't have any direct competitors except the Mercedes G-Class. There are a few pickup trucks but no off-road ready body-on-frame SUVs. The last one was the Toyota FJ Cruiser, which isn't sold any longer.
I just looked at a Rubicon stickers at $53K! Had big plastic bumpers. I understand there is an option for metal bumpers? lol... ridiculous. I love all the wranglers, but every generation looks less "jeep" like to me. These look nice but more car like/trend with the sculpted panels, the integrated lights, big plastics. The soft top looked funny, poofy almost like the jeep got a toupee or something, sure they ride nice. But ridiculous prices.
All new? Has been out for a year. You’re able to order the 2019 in a week. Where is the update on that. Spoiler alert, new active cruise, new color. Way to stay relevant.
New, as in all-new model.
I love jeep,but their after sales service in Asia is disaster
You can't upgrade lights bar like previous model😢!!
how's the steering at highway speeds? does it wonder?
The new Wrangler made me an official Wrangler fan. Big improvements over the old model. Especially the Infotainment.
You must be a soccer mom wanna be mall crawler
Tearing up the mean streets of Dunbar!
Would really like to see any vehicle hold its price to 91% four years later. The moment you take it off the lot, how much is generally lost in value?
15%

Haha only car that still has a radio antenna! Retro
I have a 4Dr V6 2018. V6 is responsive, auto stop/start is annoying, but helps with fuel savings as this thing is a pig on gas. I love the drive to work (no hwy), great visibility, a very visceral drive. I hadn’t drive am older model at all, but this sucks compared to my 2016 Venza Limited V6 in terms of refinement. On pavement it feels like I’m off-road, and I have to constantly correct the steering when driving over 100 km/hr. But I still like this damn thing. It is nice inside, I like the freedom roof, and the alpine stereo system is extra bass-ee. My V6 was quite a bit faster, and more useful for hauling 10 ft 2x4s. I thought that car sucked on gas for work at 11.5 L/100 kms. My Jeep only has 10,000 Kim’s on it now, but I only get 15L/100 kms for the same Daly drive to work.
zalllon I’m about 4 months in with my 2019 sahara. I went with the 2.0T. So far it’s been really fun. I had a 2017 Tacoma before and the Jeep engine/transmission puts the Toyota one to shame. My average so far is 10.8L/100kms driving downtown to work and back daily. Another thing I think these do well is infotainment. The Uconnect with 8.4” system is excellent!
Good to know about the 2.0T, maybe it’s worth looking into a trade after 1 more yaar.
No mention of the upcoming diesel?
Why every year Jeeps are overpriced????
And the vents that’s how I spot them
nope I cant afford that. that's for rich kids in college or retireees
What was Zack looking at @ 2:01?
Great job Zack. Now do a review when the jeep pick up comes out 👍
Time to make some changes....
I thought there was a diesel engine for 2018-19?
Hopefully early next year
Send it and I'll give it a try
No way this is not a manual.
Price in pakistan plzzz
Question: Fully upgraded JL (lift, light bar, winch, 35s, wheels, you name it) or 2019 G-Wagon?
Emilio still not comparable.
Jeep because in the end parts are cheeper to replace then for the g wagon especially if your gonna go off roading
@motormouth what is the model that retained the best value? (Would be happy for a detailed answer... including color of the car)
I don't know what colour but in Canada we have a low dollar and many cars are being purchased and shipped to the US. So buying these cars with a stronger dollar pushes up the price. This is true for all used cars but for some reason the Wrangler has benefited the most. According to the the price guide Canadian Black Book(like Kelly Blue Book), this car has won the best retained value after 4-years for this size SUV the past 8-years and it is the overall best retained value at 91%
@@Motormouth... Thank you for your answer. Is there a specific trim that retained this value? (Don't want to over spend on a high trim with too much extra goodies that won't get back in resale value).
