2018 Jeep Wrangler: Here Is At Least Some Of It
2018 Jeep Wrangler: Here Is At Least Some Of It-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:12

Breaking news: the looks like... a Jeep Wrangler! This should surprise literally no one, but it’s now confirmed in what appears to be a shot of the new “JLU” Wrangler at Jeep’s Toledo plant. It comes to us by way of our friends at the .

Honestly, the casual observer would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between this new Wrangler and the outgoing one, but that’s kind of the whole point. Nobody wanted Jeep to screw with the Wrangler’s boxy, rugged, iconic looks, to turn it into a goofy soft-roader. It is what it’s supposed to be.

But the car does ride on an entirely new platform and uses some . It’s also set to , too.

Here is what is new, from our friends at the forum:

Many of the visible features and design changes reflected in and the are shown here including a vent above the wheel well (albeit smaller than predicted), redesigned body-colored door hinges, buttonless door pull-handle, a body character line reminiscent of the TJ Wrangler running the length of the vehicle, higher mounted side windows, vented hood with redesigned hood bumpers for the folding windshield — the latter which is interesting given that this appears to be a Sport model.

This vehicle has a black canvas soft top and black fender flares (which we know from our to be returning as options) that appear to be made of higher quality plastic with a more polished finish than that of the current generation JK/JKU Wrangler.

It’s a Wrangler! They didn’t mess it up. Good news.

The 2018 Ford F-150 Adds 1-2 MPG And Can Tow Nearly 1,000 More Pounds
If you like your bombshells small and gentle, then boy are you in luck, because to the 2018 F-150 that are so understated and mild, they’ll blow your goddamn mind, in a subtle way. These improvements come to fuel economy across most of the available engine lineup, and a decent...

The Top Speed Of A Mercedes Unimog's 'Super Crawler' Gear Makes Even A Sloth Look Fast
The Top Speed Of A Mercedes Unimog's 'Super Crawler' Gear Makes Even A Sloth Look Fast
Most off-road vehicles have crawl ratios—extra gearing to increase forward thrust—between 30 and about 100.

Hop into a Mercedes Unimog, and...
