The Jeep Wrangler is a hallmark of identity for the American brand. This model enjoys great popularity, with a legion of fans willing to buy each new generation. It has been on the market for so many years, respecting its philosophy that in many ways it seems like a photocopy of the first. A car born to be able to overcome any obstacle. These are the strengths and some weaknesses in the face of a possible purchase of the Jeep Wrangler.

The aesthetics of the Jeep Wrangler has not lost an iota of personality. Since its origins, nothing has changed. And we refer to the classic Willys, the grandfather of today's Wrangler. A car that then did not refer to Jeep as a brand, but as an off-road vehicle. The company that manufactured it was Willys-Overland Motors, and the Wrangler name did not arrive until the 1980s. Even today it powerfully reminds us of that vehicle designed so that the allied troops could fight in the Second World War.

It seems platitude to say that among the strengths of the Jeep Wrangler is its off-road behavior, but we could also say that among the highlights of a sports car is its dynamic behavior. You will be satisfied with the Jeep Wrangler aftermarket headlights, the lighting series range from Jeep XJ  to Jeep JL 2018. And it is that, sometimes it happens that we catalog a car by design or by marketing campaign as something that, when tested, does not finish convincing. In this case it is not so at all. The Wrangler was built for what it was built for, and it makes that clear when you get in it.

Despite being a car designed for long off-road journeys, and to end up in mud once every two times you leave home, the equipment of the Jeep Wrangler is interesting. It does not lack technology, meeting the demands of a market that increasingly demands more in this section. Of course, everything has a price, and the model is not cheap at first. Although that would go into the weak points…
 
The Jeep Wrangler has different weak points. And it is that, it is a car that by configuration is not good for the road. Likewise, we are talking about a very expensive car to start with, with prices starting at more than 80,000 euros. But perhaps these weak points are logical considering the type of car it is, so we have looked for another one that you will surely take more into account.

And they are its few mechanical options. At the end of 2021, Jeep announced that all conventional engines were eliminated and it would only be sold in its plug-in hybrid version. And by that we mean the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which combines a 272 hp 2.0 Turbo engine with two electric blocks, one with 145 hp and the other with 63 hp. The set delivers a power of 380 hp and a maximum torque of 637 Nm.

This version mounts a 17.4 kWh capacity battery, which homologates an electric range of 50 kilometers. In addition, it announces a consumption of 3.5 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 79 g/km. The variant is interesting, but it limits the customer too much when buying a unit.

The annual meeting of all Jeep owners and enthusiasts, which will be held from July 12 to 14, will be an opportunity for the brand to present its new Jeep Gladiator, a pickup based on the Jeep Wrangler. Two special series of Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited specially equipped by Mopar will also be presented.

The Gladiator marks Jeep's return to the pickup world. Two Gladiator models in special Rubicon trim will be showcased at Jeep Camp. You will like the Jeep Gladiator jt led headlights if you check it. They will be equipped with the Pentastar V6 petrol engine, which is not available for sale in Europe, as well as a white exterior with custom upholstery created for the occasion by Mopar.

A 3.6 V6 pentastar petrol engine will be available for markets outside Europe with an output of 285 hp and 347 Nm of torque. For the European market, customers will have to make do with the 3.0 V6 EcoDiesel with 260 hp and 600 Nm of torque. . All engines and all trim levels are mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

The technology content of this new pickup includes a forward-facing all-terrain camera for better off-road visibility, a first on a production Jeep. The Gladiator is equipped for the occasion with an automatic camera cleaning function to maintain impeccable vision even when driving off the beaten track. A selection of 110 accessories will be available on the European market, among more than 150 exclusive Jeep Authentic accessories powered by Mopar.

The Jeep Gladiator will receive equipment worthy of the best road cars including blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control and the ParkView rear backup camera.

The Jeep Gladiator will be available from 2020 in Jeep showrooms in Europe and throughout the EMEA (Europe Middle-East Africa) region in Sport, Overland and Rubicon trim levels.
