The iconic American SUV maker has brought the legendary Wrangler to India as a completely built unit. The Wrangler is known for its off-roading might and rugged build and is practically a go anywhere car.
Launched in 1986, the Wrangler is currently in its fourth iteration. Being the spiritual successor of the Willy’s Jeep, the Wrangler carries the signature vertically slatted fascia along with the twin headlamps and the jutting wheel arches. While the commoners might mistake it for the Mahindra Thar, the sheer size of the Wrangler Unlimited would put all doubts to rest.
The Wrangler is all about utility and toughness and these traits are apparent in the way the interior has been designed. The whole look may be quite utilitarian but Jeep has added modern touches in the form of comprehensive instruments, a touch screen display, steering mounted controls, climate control and the lot. It gets air-conditioning, manually adjustable front seats and leather interiors which are premium.
The Wrangler will be launched in the long wheelbase four-door variant. It will be powered by a 3.6-litre V6 Pentastar petrol engine with 281bhp of power and 353Nm of torque.

The Jeep Wrangler is being sold as a niche product in the Indian market at price where it will compete with the likes of the Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5.
