Jeep Australia has trimmed the 2025 Gladiator line-up to a single, high-spec Rubicon variant, now priced from $82,990 before on-road costs. The previous Night Eagle entry-level variant has been discontinued, leaving the Rubicon as the sole offering. As a result, the starting price for the Gladiator has increased by nearly $4,700 compared to the 2024 line-up, which began at $78,250 before on-roads.
However, Jeep has bundled in several previously optional features as standard equipment, effectively offering more than $7,000 of additional value to the 2025 model when compared like-for-like with last year’s Gladiator Rubicon.
