With a starting price of £ 48,850 (US$ 68,145) in the UK, the latest generation Jeep Wrangler is already a pricey cookie, yet the new Wrangler 1941 edition is even more expensive at £ 58,050 (US$ 80,978).
Celebrating the brand’s 80th anniversary,
it builds on the Wrangler Rubicon, which is offered from £ 51,350 (US$ 71,632)
locally. It is limited to 41 units and boasts several mechanical and visual
enhancements meant to boost its off-road prowess.
The Jeep Performance Parts and Mopar
accessories include a 2-inch (50-mm) suspension lift kit, wheel arch
extensions, underbody protection, black door sill guards and splash guards at
both ends. The limited-run SUV also features a black fuel filler door, 1941
decal on the bonnet, Rubicon and Wrangler Limited detailing, hardtop headliner
and all-weather floor mats. Available paint colors include the Firecracker Red,
Brilliant Black, Granite Crystal and Billet Silver.
Already available in showrooms exclusively
as a four-door, the new Wrangler 1941 is powered by the 2.2-liter Multijet
four-cylinder diesel, which is mated to an automatic transmission and
four-wheel drive with 4 Low mode. This engine pumps out 200 horsepower, has a
WLTP rated average fuel consumption of 29.4 mpg (9.6 l/100 km / 24.5 mpg US)
and emits 253 g/km of CO2.
