Introducing the Jeep Wrangler
Some cars come and go, but only legends stand the test of time. The Jeep Wrangler is the latter, having been around since the 1980s, it can trace its DNA back to the iconic military Jeep first seen in the 1940s.
In a world where the SUV continues to be popular, the Jeep Wrangler is one that can actually perform, being excellent off-road, offering a generous standard specification and having retro, chunky looks which ensure you don't mistake the Wrangler for anything else.
Design and Practicality
Old school looks that have never gone out of fashion. The Jeep Wrangler has an iconic chunky silhouette that dates back generations, albeit with some tweaks to its legendary boxy style.
Unlike many trendy SUVs, the Wrangler exudes toughness and grit, but manages to stand out from the pack because of it. The Wrangler isn't curves and gimmicks, it's a showcase of classic design which has stood the test of time.
The iconic seven slot grille, the chunky tyres with 17 or 18-inch alloy wheels and the general presence of the Wrangler ensure the legacy continues.
Practicality is also excellent, thanks to 5-doors as standard and plenty of interior space - offering a 533-litre boot, rising to a van-like 2,050-litre space with the rear seats folded.
Interior, Technology, and Safety
Technology has moved with the times too, as the Wrangler has evolved over the years, meaning the interior is still utilitarian, but enhanced for the modern era.
There's a smart 12.3-inch Ultra HD central touchscreen, up from 8.4-inch in previous generations, which houses smartphone capability, meaning Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure keeping connected is easy.
Being a large 5-door, chunky, proper 4x4, it's also handy to know there's a rearview camera, too, to help with safety and parking.
Other safety features include:
- ACC with Stop (Adaptive Cruise Control)
- Forward collision warning
- Blind spot detection with rear cross path
- Full speed FWD collision warning
- Side curtain airbags
Engines and Performance
There's just one sole engine option for the latest Jeep Wrangler in the form of a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 268bhp, good for a 0 to 62mph time of 7.6 seconds, which is excellent considering the Wrangler's chunky 4x4 size.
With 295lb ft of torque, and proper 4-wheel drive, off-roading should be textbook Jeep, in devouring different types of terrain with ease.
Despite its performance on-road, the Wrangler comes to life off-road with a swagger and utilitarian nature you cannot help but admire. It has serious go-anywhere ability, and when it gets covered on the exterior and interior in mud and grime, it's easy to wash and get back to looking like new.
