Another leaked image of the upcoming Jeep JL Wrangler has surfaced, giving us a solid, undisguised look at the 2018 model.
The image is purported to be taken at the Toledo factory in Ohio, coming via a user on Redditt. It shows a Jeep that is sticking true to the style of it’s forefathers, with a few styling changes to help differentiate the new model.
The bonnet looks to have squared off a bit compared to the JK Wrangler, whilst sporting those bonnet vents that the JK Rubicon had. There’s also a small vent on the fender, and a little bit of a hip-line running down the side of the Wrangler. But otherwise, it’s business as usual for the iconic 4X4: clamshell-style exterior door hinges, an almost-flat windscreen and big, black flares.
Mechanically, we know the Wranglers’s going to be sporting a few different engine options: a turbocharged four-cylinder and V6 Petrol, as well as a diesel V6. Higher-spec models will also come with a full-time 4WD system, which is a big development for the Wrangler. We’re guessing that a lot of this driveline will be borrowed from the Grand Cherokee, which has also been recently updated.
The Jeep JL Wrangler is looking to be revealed late this year, and start hitting showroom floors in early-mid 2018.

Cone on pat, why not get it right, the Jeep Wrangler is made in Indore India, yes that is correct!!!!
I have driven one at the factory. I have driven in Jeep Wrangler purchased by a supplier of mine and identified it as made in Indore India, his home town of 60 years.The vehicles are then transported to US for re-badging. Give us a break.

Pat Callinan Media is no different to the Daily Telegraph or the Sun Herald which mandates!! NEVER LET THE TRUTH STAND IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY. Like my father always told me, believe nothing you read and half that you see son.
They also like to tell you that the Pacific Ocean can be seen along the east coast of this great nation, and their wrong, there are three bodies of water on our east coast, they are the Coral Sea, the Tasman Sea, and the Whitsunday Passage.
Cheers.
Hi Allan, thanks for the feedback. Is there something we’ve written in particular you’re concerted about? Nice point about the oceans as well.

Hey Steve, you aren’t thinking of the Mahindra Thar, are you? An Indian-built CJ5 or CJ6 Jeep? I’d love to hear more about it.

This is for the uneducated folk.
