2025 Jeep Wrangler gets price cuts after years of price increases
In two-door guise, the Wrangler Rubicon is now priced at $79,990 before on-road costs, down from $82,590.
The Rubicon four-door is now $82,990 before on-roads, down from $89,450.
However, Jeep Australia has once again rejigged the Wrangler lineup, axing the more affordable Sport S and Overland variants.

Therefore, while the Rubicons are the most affordable they've been since 2022, the base price of the Wrangler range is now more than $10,000 higher than in that year – and close to $20,000 higher than it was in 2021.
Jeep has repeatedly raised prices during this generation of the Wrangler, citing global supply chain issues and rises in material costs.
This trend was reversed with last year's update, which saw the old 3.6-litre petrol V6 replaced with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four, but only the now-defunct Sport S and Overland received price cuts – the Sport S four-door's price, for example, was slashed to $75,950 before on-roads.
Other than the addition of two new colours – '41', an olive green; and Mojito, a lurid lime – there are no changes to the Wrangler. The revised lineup is in showrooms this month. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
Both variants are powered by the aforementioned 2.0-litre turbo four, producing 200kW of power and 400Nm of torque and mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard.
Jeep's Rock-Trac active on-demand four-wheel drive system is also standard, with a 4:1 low-gear ratio and a 77.2:1 crawl ratio, locking front and rear differentials, Dana solid axles and a two-speed transfer case.
All exterior finishes bar Bright White cost $1145 on the two-door and $1490 on the four-door, with the only other option being the Sky-One-Touch Power Top for the four-door. This carries a price tag of $6450.
Here's an overview of Wrangler Rubicon pricing from 2020 to now.
All prices exclude on-road costs.
The Wrangler is one of just four models Jeep is still importing to Australia, alongside the electric Avenger and mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid Compass crossover SUVs, as well as the petrol-powered Gladiator dual-cab 4×4 ute.

Jeep pulled the plug on right-hand drive exports of the petrol and plug-in hybrid Grand Cherokee large SUV earlier this year, while the electric Wagoneer S has yet to appear here. It's expected to arrive in 2026 alongside the electric Recon off-roader, as well as a new generation of Compass.
In the first half of this year, Wrangler sales have sunk by 46.7 per cent compared with the same period last year, to just 220 units.
Jeep sales overall are down by 15.5 per cent, with major declines across most of the range offset somewhat by a bump in Grand Cherokee deliveries – likely as a result of sharp runout deals for the now-defunct SUV.
Last year, Jeep delivered 724 Wranglers in Australia, a far cry from the JL Wrangler's zenith of 1734 sales in 2021, or the Wrangler's all-time high of 2900 sales in 2014.

2026 Hyundai Tucson price and specs
The Hyundai Tucson mid-size SUV range has shrunk for 2026, and one of its engines has been dropped. But while the number of Tucson variants has also been reduced, from 17 to just nine, so too have prices across the range. Depending on the variant, the Tucson is between $1000 and $2500 cheaper than before. Hyundai added a hybrid powertrain to the local Tucson lineup for 2025, dropping the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the process while adding a front-wheel drive version of the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol four. Now, it has axed the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine, following the removal of this powertrain from the Kona small SUV for 2026. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new Hyundai Tucson. Click here to get a great deal. That leaves just two powertrains available in the Tucson: a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder and the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol hybrid. If you want all-wheel drive, your only option is the hybrid. In contrast, the related Kia Sportage continues to offer the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine (in both front- and all-wheel drive configurations), as well as the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel. It's also offered with the same hybrid powertrain as the Tucson. All Tucsons now feature Digital Key functionality, allowing you to use compatible smartphones to lock, unlock or start the vehicle using near-field communication and ultra-wideband technology. Other than the switch from 18-inch alloy wheels to 17s for the base Tucson, there are no other specification changes for 2026. Pricing Drivetrains and Efficiency There are two powertrains available in the 2026 Tucson lineup. Dimensions Servicing and Warranty The Hyundai Tucson range is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km with the petrol engine and 12 months or 10,000km with the hybrid. Hyundai offers capped-price servicing. It hasn't announced different prices for 2026 vehicles, but for 2025 Tucsons service pricing is as follows: Safety The Hyundai Tucson has a five-star safety rating from ANCAP, based on testing conducted in 2021. The Hyundai Tucson comes standard with the following safety features: Seven airbags Front, front-side, and curtain airbags plus a front-centre airbag Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) Adaptive cruise control with stop/go Blind-spot assist Rear cross-traffic assist Intelligent speed limit assist Lane-keep assist Lane centring Reversing camera Rear parking sensors Leading vehicle departure alert Second row pretensioner seat belts (NEW) Safe exit warning Rear occupant alert Tyre pressure monitoring Hyundai Bluelink connectivity: The mid-range Elite and Premium variants gain advanced rear occupant alert, navigation-based Smart Cruise Control, and Highway Driving Assist, the latter of which combines the adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping systems. Premium grades also get a blind-spot view monitor, rear AEB and a surround-view camera. Standard Equipment There are three trim levels in the 2026 Tucson lineup. The base Tucson comes standard with the following equipment: 17-inch alloy wheels (NEW) Digital Key functionality (NEW) Full-size spare wheel (non-hybrid only, hybrids have a space-saver) Dark chrome front grille Roof rails LED headlights LED daytime running lights LED side indicators LED tail-lights Heated and auto-folding side mirrors Cloth interior upholstery 4.0-inch instrument cluster display 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with over-the-air updates 6.6-inch climate control panel Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Digital radio Four USB-C outlets Six-speaker sound system Wireless phone charger Electronic parking brake Leather-wrapped steering wheel Leather-wrapped shifter Premium cloth dashboard and door centre trim Black cloth upholstery Power driver's seat lumbar Bluelink connected services Elite variants gain: 18-inch alloy wheels Dark chrome grille Front parking sensors Rear privacy glass Rain-sensing wipers Solar control windshield glass Black leather-appointed seats Heated front seats 10-way power driver's seat 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster Satellite navigation Additional Bluelink functionality Dual-zone climate control Keyless entry with push-button start Remote start Shift-by-wire gear selector and paddle shifters (turbocharged models only) Luggage net Flagship Premium grades add: 19-inch alloy wheels Glossy dark chrome front grille Silver skid plate Panoramic glass sunroof Power tailgate Head-up display Bose premium sound system LED interior ambient lighting Heated steering wheel Black, brown, or grey leather upholstery Ventilated front seats Heated rear outboard seats Options An N Line option package is available across much of the range.

2026 KGM Musso price and specs: Reshuffled range for ex-SsangYong ute
The KGM Musso – formerly known as the SsangYong Musso – brings more standard equipment for model year 2026, but it comes at a premium. The base price of the dual-cab 4×4 ute range has climbed by $2500 to $42,500 drive-away, while flagship Ultimate variants are now $5500 pricier than before. However, the Ultimate now includes all of the features of the previous Luxury Pack as standard, so it's a $2500 increase as well if comparing like for like. The Ultimate also gains LED headlights. Stepping down a rung, the mid-range Adventure has been renamed Advance and gets a darker look, with a black grille, black 18-inch alloy wheels, and rear privacy glass. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Above: Musso Advance The Musso gains electrically assisted power steering, enabling lane-keep assist. However, this isn't available on XLV grades, which stick with a hydraulic power steering setup and therefore only have lane departure warning. No Australian-market Musso has adaptive cruise control, even though this has been offered in Korea for some time and has now been added to the related Rexton large SUV locally. The base ELX gains the HID headlights that were previously exclusive to the Ultimate, but again there's a difference with the extended XLV variant which sticks with projector halogen units. Safety equipment from the Ultimate has filtered down to the Advance. This includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and safe exit warning. The Advance also gains dual-zone climate control and a heated steering wheel. The following pricing is for private buyers. The Musso comes standard with a part-time four-wheel drive system with selectable 4H and 4L modes and an automatically locking rear differential. The regular-length Musso has multi-link coil-spring rear suspension, while the XLV has leaf springs. Payload varies. It's 790kg in regular-length Mussos, 1010kg in the ELX XLV, and 880kg in the Advance XLV. The KGM Musso is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and five years of roadside assistance. Above: Musso Ultimate Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. KGM Australia hasn't announced service pricing changes for 2026.
