Jeep [Official] All-new Jeep Wrangler (JL)

[sako97]

The most capable SUV ever delivers even more legendary Jeep® 4x4 capability, a modern design that stays true to the original, advanced fuel-efficient powertrains, more open-air options, and is loaded with more safety features and advanced technology than ever before. The all-new Wrangler’s unique design includes an instantly recognizable keystone-shaped grille, iconic round headlamps and square tail lamps, improved aerodynamics, a convenient fold-down windshield for off-road purists, even more open-air freedom, and dozens of different door, top and windshield combinations.

Is this Wrangler based on a brand new chassis or still old chassis with new body and interior?

What ever it is I like what I am seeing so far. Subtle modernization of the classic butch styling makes it even more attractive than ever before.

Everything is new according to Jeep, but I'm sure some minor stuff like switches will be carried over.

Take note Land Rover this is what you need to do for the new Defender, an evolution of the existing models style with newer features. I like it a lot, it looks fantastic, pity it will be stupidly priced in Norway.

2018 Jeep Wrangler first look

2018 Jeep Wrangler


Jeep has given us an early look at its redesigned Wrangler ahead of the official debut on November 29 at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Just three photos of the new JL-series Wrangler have been released. They reveal a modern design that stays true to the original. There’s no mistaking the vehicle for anything other than a Wrangler, but there are also modern touches such as the LED lights and more aerodynamically shaped grille.

One of the shots also reveals a fold-down windshield; Jeep says customers can look forward to many more open-air options. This will be made possible by the assortment of roofs designed for the new Wrangler, one of which will feature a fixed power sliding opening.

Expect a bigger departure from Wranglers of old in the cabin of the new model. For example, there will be an 8-speed automatic transmission on offer, as well as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ Uconnect infotainment system. Jeep says the vehicle will also come with loads more safety features. A leaked owner’s manual hints at what's to come.

There’s still no sold information on the powertrain offerings but we know a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 will be offered alongside a 3.6-liter V-6. A diesel is expected to join the range for the 2019 model year.

Production of the new Wrangler will start at FCA’s plant in Toledo, Ohio later this year. However, instead of using the Toledo South plant where the current JK-series Wrangler is built, the new Wrangler will be produced at the Toledo North plant due to its extra capacity. FCA will eventually use the Toledo South plant for a Wrangler-based pickup that could go by the name Scrambler. The pickup is expected to enter production in late 2019.

I think the Wrangler is saved. Good job Jeep!

Now, let's see the new Suzuki Jimny!

 

[anti-VAG]

2.0 Turbo, that's a engine inside of black Rubicon on previous pictures.

 

[Rolf]

I want one of these, really cool vehicle. I am happy they sticking with the original styling, it still looks great. Would like the 8 speed auto, will certainly be an improvement on older Jeep auto boxes.

 

[Serpens]

Everything is new according to Jeep, but I'm sure some minor stuff like switches will be carried over.

Not even those did actually. Really excited for this to hit the streets. The top and full-time 4wd option on the Sahara alone makes for a much more friendly Wrangler.

Advanced fuel-efficient powertrains
The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 and all-new 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engines join the Wrangler lineup, while the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine is upgraded for 2018.

2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine
The all-new 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with eTorque technology is rated a best-in-class 270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque and mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder (I-4) engine’s torque output surpasses that of the V-6 engine offered in Wrangler. The all-new eTorque system improves fuel economy, launch performance, and driver comfort during start/stop operations.

The eTorque system’s hybrid functions include auto stop/start, electric power assist, extended fuel shut-off, transmission shift management, intelligent battery charging and regenerative braking. Both the engine and fuel flow may be turned off during stops, coasting or when the engine is decelerating.

The all-new 2.0-liter I-4 engine features a twin-scroll, low-inertia turbocharger with an electronically actuated waste gate for exceptional responsiveness and performance, even while traversing over difficult terrain. The turbo is mounted directly to the cylinder head to improve durability. A dedicated cooling circuit lowers the temperature of the intake air, throttle body and turbocharger.

Direct injection, coupled with turbocharging, enables more efficient combustion and increased performance. The 2.0-liter I-4 engine’s fuel pump supplies the engine’s 2,900-psi high-pressure common-rail injection system. These high pressures produce better fuel atomization and allow for more precise fuel delivery than port fuel-injection systems, which in turn improves both performance and efficiency.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine is part of the Global Medium Engine architecture family and features Double Overhead Camshafts (DOHC), dual independent camshaft timing, and a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (C-EGR) system. This is the first time that the combined use of a twin-scroll turbocharger, C-EGR system, Central Direct Injection and the independent liquid cooling intake of air, throttle body and turbo have been employed together. This combination of technologies enables the high levels of performance and reduces fuel consumption.

3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine
The FCA US 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine delivers 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque and now features Engine Stop-Start (ESS) as standard equipment. It is engineered to provide a broad torque band with a focus on low-end torque – an essential trait needed for extreme off-roading.

An all-new six-speed manual transmission is standard on all Wrangler models equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, and a new-to-Wrangler eight-speed automatic transmission is optional.

Known for its refinement, power, efficiency, and adaptability, there are more than five million 3.6-liter V-6 Pentastar engines on the road today. The 2018 Jeep Wrangler benefits from the popular V-6 engine’s low-range torque, which is needed when out on the trails or whenever the conditions call for it.

3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine
The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine will be available starting in 2019. Wrangler 4-door models will offer the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine, rated at 260 horsepower and 442 lb.-ft. of torque, with Engine Stop-Start (ESS) standard. A new eight-speed automatic transmission is standard and is designed to handle the increased torque output.

FCA US engineers adapted the engine – manufactured by FCA-owned V.M. Motori – to meet the NAFTA region’s regulatory requirements.

Starting in 2019, the EcoDiesel V-6 engine implements new turbocharger technology with a low-friction bearing designed for low end and transient performance. The upgraded EcoDiesel V-6 engine now also features low-friction pistons to improve fuel economy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide an enhanced combustion system – new injector nozzle, piston bowl, and glow plug with integrated combustion pressure sensor to optimize combustion.
