Under the Wrangler’s Hood

The new Wrangler has a powertrain and drive system that is truly unparalleled. There is a Wrangler for every driver, including those who want to take on mountains and ford rivers.

Design of Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler is best known for its two-door body style, but Jeep also offers a great four-door option called the Wrangler Unlimited, which will be covered in a separate review. The classic Jeep Wrangler has two doors and seating for four passengers. It comes standard with a vinyl convertible roof that can easily be removed for a unique open-air experience, but Jeep alternatively offers a hardtop roof that has removable panels above the front seats. The doors can be removed, and the windshield can be folded down. There are many different trims, models, and packages that the Wrangler can be purchased in. The four main trim levels for 2017 are called the Sport, Sport S, Sahara, and Rubicon. From there, customers can equip a Power Convenience Group, the new Cold Weather Package, and special edition trims like the 75th Anniversary and Rubicon Hard Rock editions.
