It is a vehicle designed for those who work hard in our local logistics and healthcare sectors but value the freedom to explore the California landscape whenever the opportunity arises.

Performance & Capability Built for the Trail

Under the hood of this Rubicon sits the 2.0L I-4 gasoline direct injection, DOHC, intercooled turbo engine, delivering a stout 270HP. This powerplant is paired with the 8-Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission, featuring Lock-up transmission and Overdrive for smooth transitions whether you are cruising the 10 freeway or crawling over rocky terrain. The Four Wheel Drive system is the heart of this machine, utilizing the 4WD type Rock-Trac part-time 4WD and a Two-Speed Transfer Case to ensure you have traction when it matters most.

You have total control over the terrain with the ELocker driver selectable front locking differential and the E-Locker driver selectable rear locking differential. The Drivetrain selectable Off Road Plus Mode allows you to calibrate the vehicle's response to the specific environment, while the Dana 44 rigid axle rear suspension ensures the durability Jeep owners have trusted for generations. Even with its rugged focus, the Auto stop-start engine technology helps maintain efficiency during your daily commute through the heart of the Inland Empire.

Modern Technology & Seamless Connectivity

The 2026 Wrangler Rubicon proves that ruggedness doesn't have to mean basic. The interior is centered around the Uconnect 5 W/12.3-inch Display, a massive 12.3-inch primary display that serves as your command center. With Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto featuring smart device wireless mirroring, your favorite navigation apps and playlists are always at your fingertips. Staying connected is easy for the whole family, thanks to 7 USB ports and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hot Spot that keeps everyones devices online during long trips out of town.

The Gauge cluster display size of 7.00 inches provides clear, analog instrumentation alongside digital readouts for vital vehicle stats. For hands-free safety, the Handsfree Uconnect w/Bluetooth and Voice activated audio controls allow you to manage your media without taking your eyes off the road. Whether you are checking the Outside temperature display before a hike or using the Steering wheel mounted audio controls to adjust the volume of the 8 Speakers, the technology in this Rubicon is designed to be intuitive and helpful, never overwhelming.

Comfort & Interior Versatility

Inside, you will find a cabin that is both practical and comfortable, featuring Black Cloth Low-Back Bucket Seats that are built to withstand the elements. The Dual-zone front climate control and Voice-activated climate control ensure that both the driver and passenger stay comfortable, regardless of the soaring summer temperatures in West Covina, CA. For added convenience, the interior includes a 120V AC power outlet, perfect for charging tools or camping gear, and 2 12V power outlets for smaller electronics.

The Black 3-Piece Hard Top includes the Freedom Panel Storage Bag, allowing you to quickly remove the roof sections for an open-air experience. The 60-40 folding rear seats provide flexible cargo options, while the Locking cargo area concealed storage keeps your valuables secure when the top is off. Practical touches like Power door locks with 2 stage unlocking, Power windows, and Heated door mirrors make the Rubicon a viable and comfortable daily driver. The Leatherette steering wheel and Metal-look interior accents add a touch of refinement to the rugged interior, ensuring it feels just as right at a nice dinner in Claremont, CA as it does at a dusty trailhead.

Advanced Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is a top priority for families and adventurers alike, and the 2026 Wrangler Rubicon comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of protective features. The 8-Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission package includes Adaptive Cruise Control w/Stop, making those long commutes on the 15 or 91 freeways much less taxing by automatically maintaining a set distance from the vehicle ahead. For urban safety, the Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus and Front Collision Mitigation act as an extra set of eyes, helping to prevent or lessen the impact of potential accidents.

Maneuvering in tight spots is made simple with the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera, while the Advanced Brake Assist and 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with ABS provide confident stopping power in all conditions. The vehicle is designed to protect its occupants with 6 airbags, including Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags and Seat mounted side impact driver and passenger airbags. Additionally, the Tire Fill Alert system makes maintaining the correct pressure in your Off-Road Tires simple, ensuring you are always ready for the next leg of your journey.

Rugged Exterior & Iconic Design

The exterior of this Rubicon is finished in the striking Granite Crystal Metallic Clearcoat, a color that looks just as good clean as it does with a little trail dust on it. It sits proudly on 17-inch Machined Wheels w/Black Pockets wrapped in LT285/70R17C BSW Off-Road Tires. The Steel Performance Hood and Body-color grille with colored accents give it an aggressive, purposeful stance. Functionality is built into every corner, from the 2 front tow hooks and Rear tow hook to the Class II Receiver Hitch and Trailer wiring harness, making it ready to haul your favorite toys.

Lighting is handled by high-performance LED Headlights, LED front fog lights, and LED daytime running lights, ensuring maximum visibility during late-night drives through Norco, CA. The Manual convertible roof and Removable sunroof (via the Freedom Panels) offer the classic Jeep open-air experience that no other SUV can match. With Deep tinted windows for privacy and a Full-size spare tire mounted on the exterior, this Wrangler is the quintessential expression of the Jeep brand's "Go Anywhere, Do Anything" philosophy.
