Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4WD | Price, Specs & Features

The 2025 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4WD is a four-door, trail-rated SUV with a 2.0L turbo engine producing 270 hp and a starting price of $49,370.

The Sahara trim fills a specific slot in the Wrangler lineup: real off-road capability plus heated seats, a big touchscreen, and a ride that won’t rattle you loose on the highway. Available only as a four-door Unlimited, it comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and an eight-speed automatic. Here are the specs, pricing, and what changed for the 2026 model year.

What Powers The Sahara? Engine & Drivetrain Details

The Sahara’s standard engine is a 2.0-liter Intercooled Turbo I-4 making 270 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm. That torque peak — 35 lb-ft more than the optional 3.6L V6 — gives it stronger low-end pull for daily driving and trails alike. The only transmission offered is an eight-speed shiftable automatic.

Four-wheel drive is standard with Command-Trac, a part-time system for off-road or low-traction surfaces. For wet highway use, the optional Selec-Trac full-time 4WD handles rain and snow without driver input. EPA fuel economy comes in at 20 city / 22 highway / 21 combined mpg on regular gas, though premium is recommended for optimal power. With a 21.5-gallon tank, range works out to roughly 430 city miles or 473 highway miles. The full engine and drivetrain details are listed on Jeep’s official specifications page.

2025 vs 2026: Pricing & What Changed

The 2025 Sahara starts at $49,370 plus a $1,995 destination charge. For 2026, the base price climbs to $50,890. The bigger shift: all 4xe plug-in hybrid options — including the Sahara 4xe — are gone from the 2026 lineup. If you want a Sahara now, your only powertrain choice is the gas 2.0L turbo.

Real-world transaction prices run higher. A 2025 Sahara with the Popular Equipment Group ($2,995), hard top ($1,995), and all-terrain tires ($495) totaled $60,860 in a tested build. Buyers on a tighter budget often consider older generations — our tested picks for the 2008 Sahara Unlimited show what the used market offers.

The five-year cost-to-own estimate lands at $69,872, with a residual value of $27,152 after five years. Cargo capacity is 31.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 72.4 cubic feet with them folded. Curb weight sits at 4,369 pounds, and towing maxes out at 3,500 pounds regardless of engine choice.

Standard Features That Set The Sahara Apart

The Sahara distinguishes itself from base Wranglers with a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Full LED lighting — headlights, fog lamps, and taillights — is standard, along with 18-inch machined Baltic Gray wheels. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are included, plus Selec-Speed Control for off-road cruising.

Safety tech includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, Forward Collision Warning with Advanced Brake Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring. Assembly takes place in Marysville, Ohio.

The Sahara also debuts available options like the Sky One-Touch Power Top, a retractable roof that opens at the push of a button. The 12.3-inch screen runs Uconnect 5, which responds faster than previous generations and supports over-the-air updates.
