The 2018 Jeep Wrangler that was unveiled at the 2017
Los Angeles Auto Show has reached India. Instagram page exoticcarsingoa has
posted a spy photo that shows the 2018 Jeep Wrangler undergoing road testing in
Goa.
The fourth generation Jeep Wrangler features an
evolutionary design, and as before, is a body-on-frame SUV. The redesigned
model features a more rakish windshield for improved aerodynamics and has an
A-pillar that now stays in place even when the windshield is folded down, allowing
the rearview mirror to remain in place at all times. The keystone-shaped grille
also contributes to the improved aerodynamics with its swept-back top. A
lowered beltline with larger windows provides better outward visibility.
The interior of the all-new Jeep Wrangler is also
not all that different from the previous generation model, with a design and
layout resembling its predecessor. However, Jeep has made it more modern by
incorporating new technologies to improve comfort, convenience, and infotainment.
Jeep has introduced the Jeep Wrangler JL with three
engines: 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol, 3.6-litre naturally
aspirated V6 and 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 diesel.
The fourth-gen model will
arrive as a CBU import. Its production takes place in the north plant of the
Toledo Assembly Complex in the state of Ohio, USA. Production of the right-hand
drive Jeep Wrangler will reportedly commence in June this year, beginning with
the 4-door version. Prices could start at around INR 70 lakh (ex-showroom
Delhi).
