Spring is here, in the Northern Hemisphere at least, and it is nearly time to don that lumberjack shirt, roll the sleeves up, grab a 4x4 and head for the hills. Jeep have been crowned 4x4 manufacturer of the year for 2018 by one prestigious magazine and from that same publication the Wrangler in its Sahara and Rubicon variants have scooped the off-road award, strengthening its legendary status for off-road ability, superior dynamics innovative safety features.
The Jeep Wrangler is available to order in the UK now and starts at around £37,000. As Good As It Ever was Debatably, this is one of the last four-wheel drive vehicles designed to be at its best off-road, although it’s no slouch on-road either. While this latest version still looks the part as always, but with new styling features, underneath things get far more modern. The Wrangler now offers a choice of more powerful and efficient petrol or diesel engines driving through eight-speed automatic gearboxes. It’s rumoured that a hybrid version may make an appearance in the future. The interior gets a makeover too and now has uprated infotainment and a cool yet functional dashboard.

On The Outside
The Wrangler's unique yet familiar exterior design includes that instantly recognizable keystone-shaped grille, round headlamps and square taillamps. The aerodynamics have been improved to avoid that slab-in-the-wind effect. When the going gets hot a convenient fold-down windshield offers even more open-air freedom, and the two or four doors, top and windshield have various combinations.
On The Inside
