Is it me or is the cab of a 2024 Wrangler smaller than that of a 2021? I previously owned a 2021 Rubicon and recently purchased a 2024 Willys...The driver position seems cramped compared to the Rubicon. Not sure if the seat doesnt lower as deep as my previous one but it feels more cramped. Any opinions are greatly appreciated!

Have you added to the interior?

Has the size of the driver increased?

Never sat in a 2024+. They added side curtain airbags; that might've decreased the headroom by a small amount?

If you now have electric seats, those might have affected how low the seats can go?

I've got a '22 JLUR and just got a '25 JLR. Driving both Jeeps back to back I can't tell a difference in interior room. The '25 feels just like any other JL I've driven before as far as interior room goes.

The roll bar trim changed on the 24 due to side curtain air bags and changes to the overhead lights. Seats are the same but your head is closer to the roll bar slightly.

We had a 2021 and now have a 2024. I can't tell the difference.

Not exactly the same angle but you should get the idea.

I actually liked the 21 passenger grab handle a lot more than I do the 2024.

The side curtain airbags very much feel more cramped to me. Everything is just chunkier in general over time...

Coming from a 2006, even though the 2024 is a far larger vehicle, inside the 2024 feels about the same.

My husband says it's a "reverse Tardis". :LOL:
