Jeep has unveiled the revamped 2021
Wrangler lineup for the Australian market, introducing with it a host of new
variants and additional features. The most significant update made to the 2021
Wrangler family is the addition of a Sport S variant that acts as the
entry-level grade for the 2-Door model and comes with heavy-duty Dana front and
rear axles, underbody skid plates, and a wash-out interior.
Elsewhere, the Sport S includes a
Selectable Tyre Fill Alert (STFA) system that was first introduced on the
Gladiator and makes inflation and deflation more convenient by providing an
auditory notification when the desired tire pressure is reached. The system can
be activated through the touchscreen.
Other standard features include
Selec-Speed Control, also known as off-road cruise control, as well as a host
of active safety equipment including Forward Collision Warning Plus, Adaptive
Cruise Control with Stop, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Path Detection.
Customers can also option the Off-Road Group package or the Comfort and Sound
Group package.
For 2021, Jeep has also introduced a
Wrangler Unlimited Night Eagle variant in 4-Door guise. This model sports
darkened exterior and interior accents and comes standard with the Comfort and
Sound Group that adds an 8.4-inch touchscreen, 9-speaker Alpine Premium Audio
System with subwoofer, tinted windows, remote start system, security alarm, and
a hardtop headliner.
Various other changes have been made
across the Wrangler range. For instance, there’s an optional Sky One-Touch
Powertop for the Unlimited Overland model, as well as a Trail Rail Cargo
Management System. As for the always-popular Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, it
includes Off-Road+ Mode as standard and a Trail-Ready Package with a Forward
Facing TrailCam. Australian pricing for the 2021 Jeep Wrangler starts at
AU$ 51,950 (US$ 38,491) for the Sport S and tops out at AU$ 67,450 (US$ 49,975) for
the Unlimited Rubicon.
