Jeep lovers rejoice! After uncertainty earlier this year regarding the future of its V-8 Wrangler, Jeep is backtracking with a powerful new limited edition: the 2026 Wrangler Moab 392. This move directly responds to passionate customer demand for the muscle car-like experience offered by the iconic Hemi engine.
The heart of the Moab 392 remains the roaring 6.4-liter Hemi V-8, churning out a robust 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. This powerhouse is seamlessly paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering that signature Jeep thrill. “We listened to our community,” stated CEO Bob Broderdorf, emphasizing the company’s commitment to satisfying its loyal customer base.
But it’s not just about raw power. The Moab 392 comes equipped for serious off-road adventures. Key features include:
- 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels: These rugged wheels ensure tire stability even at low pressures, crucial for navigating demanding terrains.
- 4.56 axle ratio: This gear ratio provides optimal torque delivery for tackling tough climbs and obstacles.
- 2.72:1 Selec-Track full-time transfer case: This sophisticated system allows seamless power distribution between the front and rear axles for superior traction in varying conditions.
The package also includes a two-mode exhaust system for that throaty rumble, and a cold-air intake with a water separator for optimized airflow.
Jeep has dressed up the Moab 392 with distinctive styling touches:
- Body-color hardtop: Adds a sleek look while protecting against the elements.
- Rock rails: Provide protection during off-road excursions, and stylishly complement the vehicle’s rugged nature.
- Color-matched fender flares: Maintain a cohesive aesthetic by blending seamlessly with the body color.
- Black tow hooks: Offer functionality and a contrasting visual element for a tougher appearance.
Inside, occupants are treated to:
- Heated black Nappa leather-trimmed seats: Combine luxurious comfort with robust durability.
- Premium Alpine audio system: Delivers immersive sound quality for both on- and off-road adventures.
- 12.3-inch infotainment display: Offers a modern interface for navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings.
Optional extras include a Sky One-Touch powertop, an 8,000-pound WARN winch for serious recovery capabilities, and all-weather floor mats to keep the cabin clean. Adding a touch of individuality are several new limited-edition exterior colors like Reign (a deep purple), Goldilocks, Joose, Earl Grey, and Tuscadero.
Interestingly, Jeep is rolling out an “enhanced door hinge system” across all Wrangler models for 2026. This design tweak aims to make removing the doors – a beloved Wrangler tradition – even quicker and easier.
A significant draw of the Moab 392 is its $81,990 starting price (including destination charge). This makes it a surprisingly accessible V-8 Jeep, especially considering the 2025 Wrangler 392 started at $101,990.
This limited-edition model kicks off an exciting year for Jeep, celebrating its 85th anniversary with a total of 12 special-edition Wranglers slated for release throughout the year. The next one is set to debut on December 12th, keeping enthusiasts guessing and eagerly awaiting what’s next.
The Moab 392 represents a savvy move by Jeep – satisfying loyal customers yearning for V-8 performance while making it more financially attainable than ever before. This strategy not only keeps the iconic Hemi engine alive but also fuels continued excitement within the Wrangler community.
