Jeep recently unveiled the 2018 Wrangler at the Los
Angeles Auto Show and now we're getting an idea how much the model will cost.
The JL Wrangler Forums reports a member recently
spotted a 2018 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara at Fiat Chrysler Automobile
headquarters in Auburn Hills and it had a window sticker posted on the
windshield. While the text is grainy, the sticker lists the base price as US$ 45,000 which would be a massive increase over the outgoing model which starts
at US$ 34,245.
Of course, as the site mentions, the price of the
optional equipment isn't listed and the total price of US$ 46,095 only appears to
account for the US$ 1,095 destination charge. As a result, it's likely the US$ 45,000
price is the cost of the vehicle with all the optional equipment instead of the
price of the base vehicle.
While that's not exactly helpful in determining the
vehicle's base price, the site says several sources have suggested the 2018
Wrangler will cost approximately US$ 2,500 more than its predecessor. If that's
the case, the 2018 Wrangler should start around US$ 26,495.
Regardless of the model's cost, the sticker shows
this particular Wrangler is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine which develops
285 hp and 352 Nm of torque.
