The Wrangler badge has been in use since 1986 and is one of the oldest of Jeep’s lineup still on the market today.
With a large number of editions and variations of the model available, many of them have made their way to UK shores over the years.
The history of the Jeep Wrangler
- The Wrangler is an indirect successor to the Jeep CJ range of vehicles and the classic Jeep models used during the Second World War.^
- There have been four generations of the Jeep Wrangler, with the most recent going on sale in 2018.
- There’s a range of body styles covered by the Wrangler badge, including everything from a 2-door convertible to a 4-door pickup.
Did you know?
In 2007, a Jeep Wrangler set the Guinness World Record for the highest altitude attained by a four-wheeled vehicle*, after it was driven atop Ojos del Salado, a volcano in Chile. This has since been surpassed by a modified Suzuki Samurai.

Tax and insurance groups for the Jeep Wrangler
When calculating a quote that’s fair for your car cover, insurers will look at a range of information about yourself and the car you drive. One factor that an insurer might look at is the insurance group of the car you’d like to insure. These groups are bands running from 1-50 that indicate the cost of parts and driving performance of every vehicle model, helping insurers gauge the size of potential claims. Please read our guide to car insurance groups in the UK for more details.
There’s also a banding system in use when it comes to paying tax on your vehicle. Known as Vehicle Excise Duty, this tax is owed annually and the amount due depends on the CO2 emissions of your car’s model.
Tax bands and insurance groups for some editions of the Jeep Wrangler include:
| Model | Insurance Group | Tax Band |
|---|---|---|
| Jeep Wrangler 2.8 CRD Sport 2d | 18 | K |
| Jeep Wrangler 2.8 CRD Sahara Unlimited 4d | 18 | K |
