JEEP has done some interesting things with the all-new Wrangler, not the least of which is extending the wheelbase to slot in a couple of extra doors. Apart from widening the customer base for this bare-bones 4WD, it also adds a bit of extra comfort, while retaining or expanding its off-road capabilities. The new model offers a much better deal for five passengers, as well as a greatly expanded load area yet, Jeep claims, its off-road credentials have also improved. The new Jeep also picks up two new engines: a 3.8-litre petrol cast-iron V6 replacing the old inline 4.0-litre six and, new to Wrangler, Jeep’s 2.8-litre four-cylinder CRD turbo-diesel. Add electronic stability control with electronic roll mitigation, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, EBD and brake assist and you have a Jeep that seems to successfully mix tradition with new technology. If you want the most rugged looking 4WD this side of a Hummer, there’s no place else to go.
