2018 Jeep Wrangler Sahara

The 2018 Wrangler is Jeep's iconic off-roader, the one you see with the doors off on sunny days and the one that will go places most SUVs can't. It's genuinely fun to drive, especially with the top and doors off, and the 4WD system is ready for trails and rock crawling. The ride is on the rough side and it's noisy on the highway, but that's the trade for the capability and the open-air experience. Cargo space is tight with the rear seat up, though the seat flips forward to open up more room, and getting kids into the back is a bit of a climb. The Sahara is the luxury-oriented Wrangler, sitting above the Sport S with more comfort features and below the hardcore Rubicon with its rock-crawling hardware. Its 3.6L V6 makes 285 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed manual, and you'll see 18 mpg combined on the highway.
