The Canadian version of AutoTrader has chosen the 2024 Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator as the 'Best Vehicle for Adventure' in its 2024 AutoTrader Awards. This is a repeat win for the popular Wrangler and Gladiator. The Jeeps were honored for “rugged capability right from the factory.” The 2024 Wrangler was recently upgraded to deliver even more 4x4 capability while out on the trails. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler also can be purchased with a factory Warn winch, has standard side curtain airbags and 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment center.
The 2024 Jeep Gladiator, the world’s most off-road capable midsize truck, has the brand’s new seven-slot grille, available power front seats and standard side-curtain airbags. The Gladiator also has the standard 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment center.
‘Best Vehicle for Adventure’
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler is already the most recognized vehicle in the world, and the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is the world’s most off-road capable midsize truck.
“It’s a difficult task for a vehicle to earn status as an icon, but the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator’s repeat win as Best Vehicles for Adventure in the 2024 AutoTrader Awards makes it look easy,” said Jodi Lai, editor-in-chief, AutoTrader. “Our team of experts confidently recommends these boxy off-roaders to Canadians in search of a vehicle built to perform daily while powering years of family fun and adventure to come. Their rugged capability right from the factory has always been impressive. This platform’s availability in three body styles and with multiple driveline options, including newly available plug-in hybrid (PHEV) power in the Wrangler, makes the lineup even more well-rounded.”
New for 2024 Jeep Wrangler
For the 2024 model year, the Jeep brand is taking the Wrangler capability game to new heights. The Wrangler features its first full-float Dana rear axle, which improves its crawl ratio. It now can be ordered with a factory Warn winch and the towing capability has been increased to 5,000-pounds. The new interior has available power front seats, standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen radio and standard side curtain airbags in the first and second rows.
The class-exclusive Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged gas engine, two electric motors and a high-voltage battery pack. The electrified Wrangler is the number one selling PHEV in North America. Drivers can choose when to drive on the electric power, either using it when daily driving or saving it to use out on the trail.
The new 2024 Jeep Gladiator adds greater capability, new technology and more standard safety features to a midsize pickup that is both 100% truck and 100% Jeep. The Jeep Gladiator features a more comfortable interior with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and available power front seats tested for water fording. The Gladiator also has standard side-curtain airbags, and the brand’s new seven-slot grille, seven new wheel designs and a windshield-integrated trail-ready antenna.
AutoTrader Award
The AutoTrader journalists choose vehicles that go above and beyond what’s expected, representing vehicles that Canadians can feel confident with. When voting on the best cars, the judges consider a dozen different criteria including value, innovation, safety, driver satisfaction and overall excellence. Every new vehicle that’s available for Canadians to buy is eligible for an award, but each winner has to offer something that raises the bar.
