Easter is right around the corner and that means
Jeep is preparing to unveil an assortment of concepts for the annual Easter
Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. This year’s concepts won’t be unveiled until next
week but Jeep has released two teaser images which preview the upcoming
off-roaders. Given the fact that the redesigned Wrangler was introduced a few
months ago, it comes as little surprise that a number of the concepts will be
based on the all-new model.
The first concept is the Jeepster and it recalls the
Jeepster Commando as it features a two-tone exterior with a contrasting white
hardtop that has steeply sloped rear window. Jeep didn’t say anything about the
model but the image suggests it is based on the Wrangler and features off-road
tires as well as auxiliary lights on the hood. The rear seats have also been
removed and replaced by a spare tire with beadlocks.
The second teaser image isn’t very revealing but it
shows an off-road focused Wrangler which has been equipped with a new front
bumper, a grille guard and a ram air hood. We can also see LED headlights and
off-road tires.
Little else is known about the concepts but the Jeep
Wrangler JL will be offered with three different engines including a familiar
3.6-liter V6 developing 285 hp and 352 Nm of torque.
Customers can also order a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing
270 hp and 399 Nm of torque. The final engine is the most
anticipated by fans and it’s a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 developing 260 hp and 598 Nm of torque.
