Auto123 has learned that Jeep will unveil a concept vehicle at the 2026 SEMA Show, set to take place from November 3 to 6 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This study could offer a glimpse of what lies ahead for the Wrangler and Gladiator family.
According to obtained information, the vehicle could closely resemble an eventual production model. However, we won’t know until the unveiling the true nature of the project and the position it might eventually occupy within the lineup.
A Jeep concept to watch at SEMA
For now, in other words, details are scarce. We finagled no specifics regarding the powertrain, configuration or even a timeline for an eventual market launch. Nonetheless, the potential link to the Wrangler and Gladiator represents an intriguing prospect for fans of those models.
In a press release this week, Mopar also confirmed its presence at SEMA and announced its relocation to the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The release was accompanied by a photo of a dashboard featuring the inscription Mopar ‘27. Indulging in a bit of speculation, we’re going to guess Mopar might present a special edition of a current model from the Stellantis catalogue.
The 2026 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator in Canada
The current 2026 Wrangler is available in Canada in two- or four-door configurations. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 develops 285 hp and can be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission for those who don’t want the automatic. A 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is also featured in the catalogue, producing 270 hp.
As for the 2026 Gladiator, Jeep offers the 285-hp 3.6L Pentastar V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Here’s our take: The Las Vegas event will reveal what direction Jeep wants to take these crucial models in. We’ll stop short of declaring this is a new generation, or even a model that is necessarily production-bound.
