An upscale option gives the Wrangler leather seats.

The Wrangler, both in standard and Unlimited models, retains its 3.8-liter V-6 and body style. The main new exterior feature is a removable hard top for the Sahara trim model.
Jeep reconfigured the Wrangler's interior, adding a steering wheel with buttons to control the cabin electronics. The right spoke features cruise control buttons, while the left spoke has buttons for a Bluetooth phone system, voice command, and stereo control. We also notice that Jeep moved the voice control button on the car's head unit to the left side. Previous models had it on the right side, forcing the driver to reach across the dashboard to touch it.

The two interior photos reveal two different head units, one with a large screen and navigation unit, Jeep's UConnect system, and the other with a more modest-size screen, lacking navigation yet still featuring buttons for a phone system. The Wrangler's stereo now can play Bluetooth streaming audio.
According to Jeep, it used soft touch materials on the console hatch and door armrests for added comfort. Better insulation also reduces noise in the cabin.
