(Extra Leaf Cars): It is hard to modify a car with success. And even more complicated, if the car at the same time is an icon with fans all over the globe, who love the product for the story, and the quirky details.
the Jeep Wrangler is such a vehicle, as everyone has an opinion on, and is loved for his raw abilities in the terrain and for its cool appearance in the metropolis. But now it happens anyway: next year is the Jeep Wrangler ready in a 100 percent new version.
We are taken to Austria to mark the new Jeep. Right now I’m sitting behind the wheel and looks out over a cabin, which has taken the best of the classic Jeep-interior, and drizzled modern technology across. And then, of course, a little humor in the form of large icons, for example, for the arsenal of buttons and levers that control the car’s all-wheel drive.
the Car is a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, a particularly crude version of the Wrangler is designed for offroad.
The gentler version called always just the Jeep Wrangler, and yet it is so tough in the jungle, to virtually no modern 4×4 vehicle can follow it through mud, over rocks and what route otherwise presents the vehicle for.
Right now, it’s not about to crawl through a mudderhul or a climb up a greasy hillside. No, it is about to find out on the a little more modern undercarriage is to keep in addition to running on asphalt.
The short answer is that the Jeep Wrangler both with the right system and more normal dækmontering have been a little more human on the asphalt.
It does not mean, however, that the car in any way offer something reminiscent of the comfort you can get, for example, in a Range Rover on the asphalt, but it has also not been the aim of the changes in the underbody. The Jeep Wrangler will still be the vehicle for enthusiasts, and it keeps the Jeep wisely.
the Jeep Wrangler will as of today be available with either three or five doors. The tredørs model is called just the Wrangler, while the name is the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with five doors.
the Version with three doors has a shorter wheelbase and is therefore best suited to drive outside of the asphalt.
the Jeep Wrangler has still quite stiff and a separate chassis and rigid axles. It is the best matadorbet technique for driving off-road and so solid that the car can hang with just one wheel, while the rest of the wheels almost flutters in the air.
Option for the permanent four-wheel drive is, of course, part of the Jeep experience, and reducers with the option to unlock the centerdifferentialet is the default.
In Rubicon, there is also the option to lock front and rear differential, and the rugged model comes in the right system as standard.
It is them, we are running on right now, and even though the car is slightly more comfortable than the old version, so vibrates the whole car, and the grove deck sends cascades of off-road feel into the cabin.
the Jeep Wrangler is completely true to the original version, so of course the doors can be removed, and the windshield is added in the future.
You can also washing the entire car inside with the garden hose, for even the touch screens and all the buttons tolerate water. See, it’s technique that is created to be used and not just something that should look smart at home on the villavejen.
the Wrangler comes with either a hardtop or with the hood of the classic kind without much insulation. It is noisy to run with, but the kind of Jeep-people, and they love yet the vehicle, do not really have any competitors.
It ought to be the Mercedes G-Class, which has just been renewed, but which cost approximately twice that of a Jeep Wrangler. Later comes Suzuki with a new Jimny, which is probably not quite measure up technically with a Jeep, but as with guaranteed to be much cheaper.
There is still a long time for the car to come, but the Danish importer estimates that the cheapest Jeep Wrangler is going to cost approximately 850.000 kroner as tredørs.
On the european market will Jeep Wrangler be provided with either a 2.2-liter diesel or 2.0-litre petrol engine. In other markets, the Wrangler also comes with V6-diesel.
