September 18, 2024 | Auburn Hills, MI – Jeep’s renowned Gladiator lineup returns for 2025, engineered to push the limits of off-road performance while enhancing comfort and capability. Jeep’s rugged pickup continues its legacy as a powerhouse in the truck world, now starting at $39,995 (INR 33.44 lakh) and boasting an upgraded eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2025 Gladiator offers eight distinct models: Sport, Sport S, NightHawk, Willys, Mojave, Mojave X, Rubicon, and Rubicon X. Each model is equipped with a robust 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, delivering 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. The Jeep Gladiator leads the pack with unmatched off-road prowess, a 7,700-pound towing capacity, and a best-in-class payload of 1,725 pounds.
Key Upgrades for 2025
This year’s Gladiator is packed with innovations, including standard power windows, locks, and a new exterior palette featuring Fathom Blue and the military-inspired ’41 green. It also introduces optional Active Cabin Ventilation, allowing drivers to pre-condition the interior before hopping in—ideal for scorching summer days.
The Gladiator remains a standout for its open-air experience, being the only truck in the market with a foldable windshield, removable roof, and doors for an unparalleled sense of freedom. New designs include an iconic seven-slot grille, a stealthy windshield-integrated trail antenna, and 10 wheel options ranging from 32 to 33 inches.
Interior Tech and Safety
Jeep hasn’t skimped on the interior either. The 2025 Gladiator boasts a fully upgraded cabin with a Uconnect 5 system and a best-in-class 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With over 85 advanced safety features, including adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, Jeep has ensured that both drivers and passengers can enjoy top-tier safety.
Electrified Future: The Gladiator 4xe
As part of Jeep’s electrification push, the 2025 Gladiator will offer an electrified 4xe plug-in hybrid model. Slated to debut later in the year, this marks a crucial step in Jeep’s mission to deliver an electrified option for every vehicle in its lineup by the end of 2025.
Off-Road Dominance
Whether tackling rocky trails or cruising through deserts, the Gladiator is built to conquer extreme terrains. The Rubicon model continues to impress with a best-in-class 77:1 crawl ratio, while the Desert Rated Mojave excels in high-speed sand runs, equipped with FOX 2.5-inch shocks and jounce bumpers for stability and comfort.
Jeep’s Gladiator remains the epitome of off-road capability, featuring rugged Dana 44 axles, a five-link suspension, and selectable 4×4 systems like Command-Trac, Selec-Trac, and Rock-Trac. With up to 31.5 inches of water fording and 11.6 inches of ground clearance, the Gladiator continues to raise the bar for off-road adventure.
Pricing and Model Lineup
The 2025 Gladiator lineup starts at $38,100 for the Sport 4×4, with prices climbing to $51,100 (INR 42.73 lakh) for the top-tier Mojave and Rubicon models. For those looking for an ultimate off-road beast with even more features, the Gladiator X variants bring additional enhancements like steel rock rails and off-road cameras.
