Jeep Keeps the V8 and Cuts Price: 2026 Wrangler Moab 392 Launches at About $80,000

A monthly 'Twelve 4 Twelve' series signals a broader push to revive Wrangler demand.

Overview

  • The Moab 392 becomes the sole factory V8 Wrangler for 2026 at $79,995 plus $1,995 destination, roughly $20,000 below the 2025 Rubicon 392 as Jeep trims standard content to lower the price.
  • The 6.4‑liter Hemi returns with 470 hp and 470 lb‑ft, paired with a dual‑mode exhaust and an eight‑speed automatic, while the Rubicon no longer offers the V8.
  • Jeep kicks off its Twelve 4 Twelve plan, promising a new limited‑edition Wrangler on the 12th of each month, with the next reveal expected on December 12.
  • Reporting indicates Jeep is also cutting prices across the Wrangler range as a defensive move to draw shoppers back from Ford’s Bronco.
  • Model‑year 2026 adds quick‑release door hinges, available steel bumpers and a Warn winch on the two‑door Willys, plus new colors, and the 4xe plug‑in remains absent due to a recall of nearly 230,000 2020–2025 units over fire risk.
