Brought to India as a CBU, the fourth-gen Jeep Wrangler is on sale for Rs. 63.94 lakh, ex-showroom.
Nearly two years after Jeep unveiled the new Wrangler in LA, it has finally made its way to India. Launched at Rs. 63.94 lakh (ex-showroom), the Wrangler is now available in India in a single five-door variant.
The new Jeep Wrangler, of course, has been developed around the same design cues as its predecessor. In fact, it even retains the same silhouette, but it does get new elements that give it a modern touch. The grille is now larger and seems to have more depth. The oval headlights have been carried forward, but they are now larger and sport LEDs. The taillamps also get the LED treatment. On the inside, the dashboard continues to be vertically stacked but now gets a large touchscreen in the centre with circular air-con vents on either side. The infotainment system is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible. The centre console is swarmed with buttons including the ones for the dual-zone climate control, keyless engine start/stop and traction control. The power window controls continue to take position in the centre.
