Jeep Gladiator 2026 Canadian lineup announced

Jeep has officially announced Canadian pricing for the 2026 Gladiator, and the numbers are significantly lower than before. The Sport S now starts at CAD 49,995 (CAD 52,290 after fees), representing a reduction of up to CAD 11,400 compared to the 2025 model. The reason is clear: Jeep sales in Canada are down 21% year-on-year, while Gladiator deliveries have collapsed by 57% in the first half of 2025.

The lineup is simplified, with just one engine available — the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. It delivers 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, enabling best-in-class payload of 1,725 lbs (782 kg) and a towing capacity of 7,700 lbs (3,492 kg). The previously offered 3.0-liter EcoDiesel has been discontinued, but the Gladiator retains its unique position as the only open-air truck in its class.

Canadian buyers can choose between trims ranging from Sport S and Willys to Mojave, Mojave X, Rubicon, and Rubicon X. Depending on spec, the Gladiator can be equipped with one of three 4×4 systems: Command-Trac, Selec-Trac, or the heavy-duty Rock-Trac with a 4.0:1 low range.

The price cuts are meant to attract more buyers after a difficult sales year, but Jeep’s bigger bet may come with electrification and a possible 392 HEMI V8 version for the U.S. market.
