Jeep is launching a new limited edition of the
Wrangler called the Rubicon Recon in the UK. The new Wrangler Rubicon Recon focuses on offering improved
off-road capability thanks to hardware updates such as a stronger front axle
and heavy-duty cast rear differential covers.
The new limited version is based on the existing
Wrangler Rubicon model and adds features like a set of 18-inch Low Gloss
Granite Crystal alloy, a black dual top (with both soft top and hardtop
options) and a dual-vented Power Dome hood with a Rubicon decal. There is also
a Trail Rated logo, a black fuel-filler door and a black hard spare-wheel
cover.
The interior features a black-red theme, with red
accent stitching on the standard black leather heated seats. The front door
armrests and the console lid are wrapped in black vinyl while the front door
pockets and the center console feature red accent netting with matching
seatbelts.
Customers can choose between the two- and four-door
bodystyles, with the sole engine option to be the 284 hp 3.6-liter Pentastar V6
paired to a five-speed automatic gearbox. There are also three exterior colors
available: Gobi, Bright White and Granite Crystal.
The new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon is priced from
£ 40,505 for the two-door version and from £ 42,175 for the four-door one and is
already available in the UK.
