The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most well-known Jeep models on the market. Its off-road ability is well-known and the 2018 model will replace the current model after ten years. This article outlines the reasons you’ll want the 2018 Jeep Wrangler.
Technology Upgrade
Touchscreen are present in other cars in the Jeep line offering both information and convenience. Now it’s the Wrangler’s turn to receive the same benefits. The 2018 Jeep Wrangler has the same UConnect system present in the Chrysler line. It’s easy to use and responsive. The screen is about 8.4 inches. Smaller screens are in lower-end versions of the Wrangler.
Parking assist features are also available in the Wrangler along with USB ports, and an SD card slot. The more connected Wrangler is an excellent feature for all the technology used on the go today.
Power
While the 2018 Wrangler is not out yet, there is evidence out there to suggest that the vehicle has a significant power upgrade in store. A 2.0L turbo engine codenamed Hurricane and a 3.6L Pentastar. The latter produces 285 hp which hasn’t from the earlier model. However, the turbo engine produces 365 hp. If this assessment is correct, the engine is the most power-dense entry in the marketplace now. In terms of power, it comes close to the Porsche 911 engine and the current Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 and CLA 45 engines.
The Eco-Diesel Engine
While it technically would not make it into the 2018 model, an eco-diesel will come out in 2018 for the 2019 model year. This engine makes the Wrangler more efficient in terms of gas mileage.
Other Features
The 2018 Jeep Wrangler features automatic climate controls and a standard audio system. It also has a push-button engine start and a heated steering wheel.
But the Wrangler is really known for its off-roading capabilities. As such, it is not surprising that mysterious rocker buttons are inside of the vehicle. Those who have seen the vehicle’s interior cannot definitively find what the buttons actually do. They may be capable of changing modes for off-roading. Combined with its design and soft cloth top, off-roaders are likely to appreciate the 2018 Jeep Wrangler for everything it does both on and off the road.
Jeep has stayed mum about most of the details in the new Wrangler. Given that it represents the first major upgrade of the model in a decade, surprises are good. If it stays true to the type of upgrades promised by the first glances, the Wrangler will keep its place as the heart and soul of the Jeep line.
From all indications, the 2018 Wrangler has a broader appeal,beyond those who love Jeep vehicles or off-roading. It’s designed to appeal to the customer who wants power, utility, convenience, and eventually fuel efficiency with a new type of engine. The 2018 Jeep Wrangler will debut at the LA Auto Show in November.
