2024 Jeep Gladiator Debuts Today: See The Livestream

Update: The refreshed 2024 Jeep Gladiator is revealed. Read all about it in our debut post.

The 2023 Detroit Auto Show begins today with the first press day, and Jeep is slated to hold a press conference to unveil the updated Gladiator. From the spy shots we have seen, the midsize truck has been spotted without any camouflage, revealing a blacked-out grille and a larger infotainment system. However, there are likely more changes in store for the pickup, as it is expected to incorporate updates from the 2024 Wrangler.

The 2024 Gladiator will not be available in the European market, as Jeep has decided to discontinue its presence in the Old Continent, where Ford’s Ranger continues to be sold. Another change is the absence of a diesel engine, as the Rubicon FarOut, launched a month ago in the United States, is the last model to feature the 3.0-liter V6 EcoDiesel engine with 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. It remains to be seen whether the 4xe plug-in hybrid will be introduced as an alternative to the diesel engine.

2024 Jeep Gladiator Spy Photos Show Updated Interior Inspired by Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator share many similarities. The 2024 Wrangler has already unveiled its refreshed appearance, and now it’s the Gladiator’s turn. While the changes are minimal, the recent spy shots reveal that Jeep has not tried to keep them a secret, as there is no camouflage visible anywhere.

This includes the interior as well. Previous spy shots of the Gladiator showed the exterior design, but the dash and center touchscreen were covered, concealing any changes. Although we don’t get an up-close look here, a glimpse through the passenger window of this white Jeep reveals all we need to know. The screen is definitely larger, and there are no visible climate vents next to it.

If the Gladiator follows the 2024 Wrangler’s interior upgrades, we can expect a new 12.3-inch center screen. In order to make room for it on the existing dash, the iconic round climate vents on both sides have been removed. Instead, rectangular vents are now positioned directly below the screen. However, the center stack of tactile controls remains the same. The center console also remains unchanged, but there are some minor trim changes on the passenger side of the dash and the driver instrument cluster, bringing a sense of rectangular symmetry to the entire panel. Nevertheless, round climate vents can still be found at the corners.

In addition to the visual changes, it is likely that the Gladiator will receive tech upgrades, including the latest Uconnect 5 software. It would also make sense for Jeep to add the Trails Offroad guide, which is available on the Wrangler. And while we’re discussing unseen upgrades, the 2024 Gladiator might also share the Wrangler’s upgraded Dana 44 HD Full Float rear axle on Rubicon trims.
