The new-generation Jeep Wrangler will hit Australian showrooms in early April, bringing a more contemporary design that remains authentic to the Wrangler’s iconic history, along with advanced safety and technological features.
For the first time, the all-new Wrangler Rubicon is available with the option to house a 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, providing 146kW of power and 347Nm of torque. All other variants come with a 3.6-litre V6 Petrol Engine paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission and feature Stop-Start technology.
The entire range comes with comprehensive standard and available active and passive safety features including Auto Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection, ParkView Rear Backup Camera with Dynamic Grid Lines, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM).
The all-new JL Wrangler also boasts updated in-car connectivity and entertainment systems, with 7-inch Uconnect touch screen display housing the fourth-generation Uconnect system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available as standard in the Sport S, and an 8.4-inch display standard on all other variants. LED headlamps and tail lamps also feature as standard on the Overland and Rubicon.
Improvements have been made to the on-road driving dynamics with subtle changes to the iconic features including a slightly tilted windscreen, tilted keystone-shaped grille, vented hood and a tapering C-pillar. These modifications are said to have considerably reduced wind noise and improved fuel efficiency by over 13%, without straying from the classic boxy body the Jeep Wrangler is known for.
Like before, customers will be able to enhance their new JL Wrangler with over 130 MOPAR accessories covering everything from exterior styling, storage versatility, vehicle protection and driver convenience.
