Jeep has revealed the second exclusive Wrangler model in its Twelve 4 Twelve celebration, the 2026 Wrangler Whitecap, inspired by the classic CJ-Universal Arctic White top. The special edition is available exclusively on Sahara and Rubicon trims, blending Jeep heritage with modern two-tone styling.
Following the November debut of the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Moab 392, the Whitecap introduces a fresh, bold look to the lineup. CEO Bob Broderdorf said the model honors Jeep’s legacy while offering owners extensive ways to personalize their vehicles, from color options to performance features.
The Wrangler Whitecap is powered by either a 2.0L turbo or 3.6L engine and delivers authentic Jeep 4×4 capability through brand-exclusive Selec-Trac part-time or full-time transfer cases. The model is built to handle any terrain while maintaining the versatility and reliability Jeep is known for.
Design highlights include a Bright White-painted hardtop roof, a matching seven-slot grille, and body-color fender flares, standard on Sahara and packaged on Rubicon. Bright White 1941 side stripe decals are included on both trims, with a Bright White hood decal featured on the Rubicon. Owners can also opt for the Sky One-Touch powertop with Bright White accents.
Orders for the 2026 Wrangler Whitecap are now open. Pricing starts at $495 on the Rubicon X, $2,690 on the Sahara (including optional body-color hardtop), and $3,185 on the Rubicon (including optional body-color hardtop and fender flares).
The Whitecap draws on 85 years of Jeep heritage, honoring the Arctic White top of the CJ-Universal, a symbol of individuality and adventure. By combining classic design elements with advanced technology and customization, Jeep continues its focus on special editions that celebrate the brand’s legacy while appealing to modern buyers.
Special editions like the Whitecap are expected to drive dealer showroom traffic and attract both loyal enthusiasts and collectors. The personalization options may also boost accessory sales, reinforcing Jeep’s position in the high-end 4×4 market.
