MANILA: Just ahead of its official debut at the 2017 Los Angeles Motor Show, the 2018 Wrangler has been revealed online. The SUV will be showcased along with the Wrangler Unlimited at the upcoming 2017 Los Angeles Motor Show on November 29. Keeping the true Jeep DNA intact, the updated Wrangler features minute changes to the exterior profile along with some upgrades in the cabin.

According to the manufacturer, the updated Wrangler offers improved aerodynamics and features slight changes to the headlamps, and grille. It will be available in door, top, and windshield combinations. Considering the engine options of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol or 3.6-litre V6 petrol might power the SUV. The smaller unit is capable of towing 907kg while the 3.6-litre has the potential to tow 1,587kg. Each option is coupled to a system that prevents the trailers attached from snaking.

Moving to the cabin, there are no major changes but, there is a choice between a 7.0-inch and an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Both the systems also get the control of climate control with additional satnav in the bigger unit. In terms of safety, the list includes rain brake support, automatic emergency braking, adaptive steering to change the steering configuration depending on the different terrain conditions. All these features are expected to be standard in the Hardcore Rubicon models along with other features.

Further details will be revealed by the end of this month and we hope that the price change does not hold a major margin.
