2023 Wrangler Unlimited Exterior
At the current model's launch a few years ago, we asked the lead designer why Jeep sticks so close to the original Wrangler design. Now more than ever, this is a pertinent question given how far away Land Rover has moved from the Defender's traditional design.
Jeep tried changing the front design two decades ago, swapping the famous round headlights for square ones. Jeep loyalists were highly offended, and it took about five minutes for the first aftermarket headlight kits to come out. The 2023 Jeep Wrangler exterior stays the same because Jeep fears Wrangler owners might storm the building, so passionate they are about the design of their beloved Wrangler.
The Unlimited the family-friendly four-door version of the Wrangler, meaning it rides on a longer wheelbase. The base Sport model comes standard with 17-inch black steel wheels and a zipperless Sunrider soft top. The rest of the range all get aluminum wheels, while the off-road biased models get 33-inch off-road tires. From the Willys trim upward, LED headlights and fog lights are standard.
Sahara models are equipped with body-colored fenders, while the Rubicon gets scratch-resistant black fenders. The High Altitude top-spec has 20-inch alloys, body-colored fender flares, exterior mirrors, door handles, bumper, and a hard top. It also comes standard with the premium LED Lighting Package with LED Headlamps, tail lights, fog lights, and daytime running lights.
In between these, there are multiple 'trims' that are nothing more than sticker kits and special wheels. But Jeep adds another one every couple of months, so it's best to see what's available at your local Jeep dealer.

The body is around 20 inches longer than the two-door Wrangler, which impacts the breakover angle. The ground clearance ranges from 9.7 to 12.9 inches, depending on your trim and options.

Exterior Colors
Bright White is the only no-cost option, but you don't want a white Wrangler. Jeep has an excellent selection of colors with wicked names, all of which cost $395. The available Jeep Wrangler colors include Black Clear-Coat, Granite Crystal, Sting-Gray, Silver Zynith, Hydro Blue, Firecracker Red, High Velocity (yellow), and Sarge Green. The 2023 Wrangler exterior color options aren't as extensive as they once were, but the selection is still superb.
The color palette on the High Altitude is less extensive due to the body-colored everything. You can only choose Hydro Blue, Bright White, Silver Zynith, Sting-Gray, and Black on this model.
In addition to the exterior colors, Jeep gives you several customization options. You can add a Satin Black grille, hood decals, an American flag hood decal, and various side graphics.
