The Chicago Auto Show is right around the
corner and Jeep has released the first teaser image of a new special edition.
The company is keeping details under wraps, but the special edition was created
by Mopar and will feature an assortment of Jeep Performance Parts.
That’s not much to go on, but the teaser
image reveals the special edition will be a Wrangler that has been equipped
with tubular doors and beadlock-style wheels. We can also see off-road tires, a
black hardtop and a Jeep Performance Parts decal on the rear fender.
Little else is known about the model at
this point, but Mopar offers more than 200 Jeep Performance Parts and says the
accessories are “specifically designed and engineered for off-road performance
enthusiasts.” Among the items are lift kits, crate axles, skid plates and heavy
duty bumpers.
There’s no word on specifications at this
point, but the standard Wrangler is offered with three different engines. The
entry-level unit is a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 285 hp and 353 Nm of torque. Customers can also opt for a turbocharged
2.0-liter four-cylinder which develops 270 hp and 400 Nm of torque. Of course, the big news for 2020 is the availability of a
3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. It produces 260 hp and 600
Nm of torque.
The Chicago Auto Show kicks off February
6th, so stay tuned for full details.
