Backed by more than 80 years of 4×4 engineering expertise, the new Jeep® Wrangler is the most recognisable and capable vehicle on the planet. Jeep Wrangler builds on the brand’s goal to deliver freedom of choice, offering an unmatched combination of leading off-road capability, iconic Jeep design, open-air freedom, advanced powertrains and a refined interior, as well as a host of innovative safety and advanced technology features.
With capability at its core, Jeep Wrangler is built on a body-on-frame design with a front and rear five-link suspension system, solid axles and available electronic lockers. To meet the capability needs of the most avid off-road enthusiasts, Wrangler offers a full-float Dana rear axle, combining a robust drivetrain, delivering torque on demand and ensuring optimal and continuous power in any situation.
Inside, side-curtain airbags are standard in the first and second rows. Wrangler features a standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen radio with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 12-way power adjustable leather front seats and more than 85 safety features, including Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, adaptive cruise control further Wrangler’s refinement, Drowsy Driver Alert, and Lane Departure Warning.
Legendary go-anywhere 4×4 capability: Most capable SUV ever without compromise
The new Jeep Wrangler delivers legendary off-road capability and it is the most capable ever with best-in-class performance
Every Wrangler model’s Trail Rated badge reflects an unmatched specification list that includes Dana solid front and rear axles, two-speed transfer case, traction control, tow hooks, four-wheel disc brakes, four skid plates and a minimum tire size of 81 cm of diameter. The new Wrangler continues to raise the bar with the all-new next-generation Dana 44 HD full-float rear axle on Rubicon models.
Now, Wrangler customers can get full-float axles, typically found on heavy-duty commercial trucks, straight from the factory. Wrangler Rubicon’s first full-float rear axle design consists of a wheel hub assembly that is separate from the axle shaft, with a spindle bolted to the axle tube that supports the wheel hub via a pair of wheel bearings. By using a full-float axle design, the weight of the vehicle is transferred to the axle tube rather than the axle shaft itself. Thus, the axle shaft is subjected only to torsional loads, with its sole function being to transmit power to the wheel hub. This makes the axle stronger and more robust.
Sport models run on 17-inch steel wheels and Sahara models feature 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. Wrangler Rubicon is forged for off-road adventure and is shod with Mud-Terrain tyres as standard on 17-inch alloy rims.
Authentic interior design boasts premium features and technology
The new Wrangler’s refined interior is loaded with premium features and technology along with Jeep functionality and versatility. The heritage-inspired centre stack features a clean, sculpted form that complements the horizontal dashboard design. A wrapped instrument panel features new soft-touch surfaces, in fabric or polyurethane, with contrast accent stitching. New AMPS bracket provisions are now featured on top of the dash.
Standard on all models is improved hands-free voice recognition, which now uses microphone array technology. On Rubicon and Sahara, a standard premium cabin package adds acoustic front glass, thicker carpet and additional sound deadening foam in the windshield header, front cowl, and B-pillars for a quieter ride.
An all-new 12.3-inch touchscreen – the most advanced and largest display ever offered on Wrangler – houses the fifth-generation award-winning Uconnect 5 system and sits prominently atop the centre stack, right above the new slim rectangular inboard air vent. The outboard air vents retain their signature circular shape.
Uconnect 5 delivers operating speeds that are five times faster when compared to the previous generation. By using an Android operating system and over-the-air (OTA) updates, Uconnect 5 brings flexibility that will allow the system to continuously evolve to offer new content, features and services.
