Cabin & Technology Comparison
Whether taking on the open road or experiencing the 2025 Jeep Wrangler’s or Gladiator’s off-road dominance, you’ll be accompanied by features that help keep you and your crew comfortable, entertained, and safer the whole way.
We’ll look at highlights in the Wrangler first. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are available options, providing welcome comfort on chilly days. You can choose between available black perforated leather by Mopar® or available black stitched leather by Mopar® to add a sleeker look to the cabin. Who knew off-roading could feel so luxurious?
A 12.3-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ come standard for convenient connectivity. And while an eight-speaker system comes standard, an Alpine® Premium Audio System with nine speakers is available to take sound quality to the next level. Safety-wise, the Wrangler comes with a standard ParkView® rear back-up camera. Available safety features include Blind-Spot and Cross-Path Detection and a ParkSense® Rear Park-Assist System for more peace of mind.
Now let’s look at the Gladiator. Like the Wrangler, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are available options. Leather options, however, are different from the Wrangler’s. Leather-trimmed bucket seats with sport bolsters is one available option, and power adjustable Nappa leather seats is another, adding an extra touch of sophistication.
A 12.3-inch touchscreen display is also standard in the Gladiator, and so is Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You’ll also have the option of upgrading from the standard eight-speaker system to the available Alpine® Premium Audio System with nine speakers. Not only that, the Gladiator offers an available wireless speaker for more fun at your next stop.
The ParkView® rear back-up camera is standard in the Gladiator too, while Blind-Spot and Cross-Path Detection and the ParkSense® Rear Park-Assist System are also available options.
