To compete with the new Ford Bronco for off-road buyers, Jeep recently unveiled an updated version of its flagship Wrangler SUV globally with enhanced capability, technology, and features. The Stellantis group, which owns the US SUV carmaker, debuted the newest Jeep Wrangler at the New York International Auto Show. The new Wrangler boasts cutting-edge technology, improved features, and a reworked design intended to give it a more attractive and contemporary appearance. The current generation Jeep Wrangler, which was introduced in late 2017, has now completed five years. With Ford's latest offering, the updated Bronco, Jeep has a serious rival in the global SUV market. As a result, Jeep now places a high priority on maintaining its flagship model.
