The special-edition Jeep Wranglers keep coming in, with the latest being the Rubicon X Package introduced at the Geneva Auto Show. Based on the off-road oriented Rubicon trim level, the new special-edition model for Europe brings exclusive styling cues and functional features.
The styling package includes a seven-slot black front grille with black inserts, black painted 17-inch aluminum wheels, dual-intake Power Dome hood, deep-tint sunscreen glass, Mopar black fuel-filler door, body-color hard spare-tyre cover, as well as a standard body-colored hard top, which is a first on the Rubicon.
The new body-color hard top is included in the standard Dual Top configuration that offers the possibility to have both the Sunrider soft top and the three-piece modular Freedom Top in one package. Finally, the Mopar rock rails add functionality to the Wrangler.
On the inside, the Wrangler Rubicon X Package brings red or black leather seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel, standard heated front seats, silver accents across the cabin and Mopar tread-pattern slush mats.
Other standard features of the special-edition Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X Package are the UConnect multi-media infotainment and navigation system with 6.5-inch touchscreen, 40-gigabyte hard disk, USB compatibility, AUX port, DVD player, and voice-activated Bluetooth UConnect Phone.
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X Package will be introduced in Europe in the second quarter of 2014, as both a two-door Wrangler and four-door Wrangler Unlimited. The model will be available with two engines, the 200hp 2.8-liter turbo diesel unit and the 284hp 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar petrol unit. Both engines are paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.
