Presented during the 2017 Los Angeles Auto
Show, the all-new Jeep Wrangler sports an evolutionary design, with visual
changes made here and there, in what the automaker describes as "a modern
take on the authentic Jeep Wrangler design".
Inside, users will find cloth or leather-contoured
seats with accent stitching, vinyl-wrapped door trim, 3.5-inch or 7-inch TFT
instrument cluster, 7- or 8.4-inch display for the fourth-gen Uconnect
infotainment system, USB ports, 12- and 115-volt outlets, durable mesh pockets,
and even a subwoofer.
Jeep had no intention of making the new Wrangler
look and feel like the next Grand Cherokee, as the extensive mechanical
upgrades are aimed at improving its on-road and off-road performance, and fuel
economy, thanks to the ladder-frame chassis with upgraded suspension, aluminum
body panels, and new powertrains.
The engine family includes the 285 hp and 353 Nm of
torque 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar, and the 268 hp and 400 Nm of torque 2.0-liter
four-cylinder turbocharged with mild-hybrid tech. Jeep will open the order
books for the new Wrangler in North America in January, and they will also
launch it, subsequently, in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region next
year.
