Mopar
Jeep IAA 2015
Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles’ parts and accessories arm Mopar has brought three Jeep
show cars to Frankfurt to showcase the personalization potential of each model.
These
are the Wrangler Rubicon Sunriser, Cherokee KrawLer and a Renegade Trailhawk
loaded with accessories.
Based
on the Trailhawk version, the Jeep Cherokee KrawLer show car was created to
tackle the toughest driving conditions, with its name hinting at “rock
crawlers” that are designated to climb over the harshest off-road obstacles.
The
show car features a raised ground clearance to allow for extreme off-road use,
with the Cherokee KrawLer also featuring special Mopar equipment such as an
off-road suspension, BF Goodrich KM2 255/80/17 off-road tyres, wider wings,
skid plates and platforms under the doors.
The
Cherokee KrawLer sports a Matt Green body as a tribute to Jeep Brand’s
Heritage, as well as quartz grey interior and exterior details. The show car is
powered by a 272 hp 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 engine mated to an automatic
nine-speed transmission and “Jeep Active Drive Lock” four-wheel drive with low
range and rear differential lock.
Another
spectacular appearance is the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Sunriser show car, which
features exclusive Matt Orange paintwork in addition to Mopar accessories
specifically designed for this vehicle.
These
include the bumpers specifically designed for off-roading (fitted with a double
tow hook on the front), the off-road wings, the 4-inch suspension lift kit and
the half doors. The engine skid plate and beadlock wheels also highlight the
rugged nature of the vehicle.
The
LED lights fitted between the A-pillar and windscreen are doubled by LED
daytime running lights and LED taillights. Inside, the rugged Wrangler Rubicon
Sunriser gets black leather customized with matte fluorescent orange trim which
matches the color of the bodywork.
The
show car is powered by a 2.8-liter CRD diesel engine mated to a five-speed
automatic transmission.
Finally,
the third show car is a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk kitted with Mopar accessories
including 17-inch aluminium alloy rims, underbody skid plates, two rear tow
hooks, black mirror caps and Anvil body color. Inside, Mopar added sporty
pedals and Jeep design mats.
