Jeep has just given the popular and successful Wrangler a boost with an updated engine and a limited edition version for the UK market.
The Wrangler’s current 2.8-liter diesel unit has been tweaked to to comply with Euro 6 emission standards, as further modifications include front side airbags, deep-tint sunscreen glass, 18″ polished satin alloys and a 3.73 rear axle ration on the Sahara model, same for the Overland (except the glass and the alloys), while the Rubicon now packs all of the above plus Mopar slush mats and black heated leather seats.
Price-wise, the new Wrangler starts at £31,840 for the two-door Sahara 2.8 CRD model, while the four-door Rubicon 3.6-liter V6 auto costs £34,910.
As for the Wrangler 75th Anniversary limited edition, it was first revealed back in March at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Based on the Overland version, it comes with several key improvements, including unique exterior styling and a part-leather interior.
Outside, it features a bronze-finished grille and 18″ alloys, body-colored dual top, Mopar slush mats, bronze & orange Jeep badging and of course a 75th Anniversary badge. Inside, you’ll find “1941” embossed black or brown leather heated seats with tangerine fabric inserts, bronze accents for the air vents and grab handles, a deep tinted sunscreen plus a sat-nav and an Alpine premium sound system.
Available in either Bright White, Solid Black or Sarge Green colors, only 85 units of this special edition Wrangler are destined to reach UK shores. Prices will start at £34,765 for the 2-door 2.8 CRD auto version, with the flagship 4-door 3.6 V6 auto model setting you back £36,435.
