70. Birthday brand Jeep has revised Wrangler thoroughly the brand icon. We introduce the granddaddy of all all-terrain vehicle in detail and show what's new at the Wrangler.
2011 is a reason for Jeep to the celebrate. 1941 saw the light of day, and the Spartan military jeep MB the Willys considered ancestor of today's Jeep Wrangler. It was freshly made 70. birthday of the brand, with new engine, new gear, better facilities and provides more comfort.
When 1987 took the Wrangler, to become the legacy of legendary CJ was the brand similar to wavy waters as it is today. Just Chrysler had acquired the manufacturer AMC jeep by Renault, where had been developed to the series production of the Wrangler YJ. The primitive Wrangler was from the outset a sales success. In the United States he was advancing his there economic price to the favorite of young drivers, in Europe he was wegein in the cult factor the Land Rover Defender from start similar Mobile for enthusiasts.
But real worlds separate the current model from the first Wrangler. Not only the departure from the leaf springs and to an everyday, safe and superior in the coil suspension - which did already its predecessor Wrangler TJ. In particular those in the current Jeep Wrangler JK introduced Funftturer version called unlimited brought right impetus in the booth. Because he was the first Wrangler with real family and long-haul capabilities, for the first time in terms of value at eye level with the eternal rival Defender.
An outstanding device of the series is without a doubt but the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon: he is like his braveren brothers on 17-inch wheels with tyres in the format 245 / 75. Not world famous for real hardcore use, but the aftermarket long more and coarser alternatives has at hand, to make the Wrangler on a formal footing. You are left with a single button switchable two axle locks and the elaborate body element on the front axle, that separates the front stabilizer on request, again to improve the interlinking.
The entire series, not only of the Rubicon, come in the enjoyment of extensive facelift to the model year 2011. most importantly detail here is the renovation of the drive train. The known 2, 8-liter engine of the Italian supplier of VM motori (in which the Jeep parent company share has Fiat since recent 50%), has been overhauled. Technicians discovered still ample power reserves in the best four in the changeover to the Euro 5 emissions standard. So the power output increases now from 177 to exactly 200 hp. That brought the new year noticeably merrier values in accelerating even if the available Drehoment is electronically controlled redress to the level of the previous engine.
In particular at the Rubicon, which is not quite understandable, because he has a stronger well-known as the series Wrangler with the DANA 44 axles. Also have all auto diesel from immediately a new transmission. Area driver is pleased that the five-speed box is translated in all gears shorter than the previous transmission, only at the first look at the data. Because with the ultra long axle ratio (3.2-1) even the Rubicon with the short Rocktrac transfer case to a mediocre total translation of 46.2: 1. The W5A580 baptized automatic is a good old friend from the undV12-Mercedes undV12-Mercedes models, where she hear the name of 5G-Tronic. The switch box is anything but to the limit - on over 1,000 nm torque and therefore with the Wrangler diesel as would have been a bit more Drehoment on the certainly not harmed VM diesel.
But this is not the only Tiefstapelei. Incomprehensible is the shared towing capacity for the new diesel models of Jeep Wrangler: whether short or long, switches or automatic, with the 2, 8-litre CRD is the Wrangler with a shared towing capacity of 450 kg unbraked and tortured 1,000 kilos braked. A VW Polo may take up to 1,200 kilos on the hook for comparison,. Here is only to suspect slept in the homologation is simply was. On subsequent individual approval from the dealer can the problem addressed is, it is also expected that also jeep will rework Germany with regard to the release.
In terms of consumption has won the Wrangler, however. The new diesel is more economical, with the automatic diesel fuel consumption by 0.7 litres has been reduced. The hand-switched diesel model, in which for the first time an automatic start/stop feature is used - with a standard consumption of 7.1 liters of economical Wrangler of all time is still lightweight. The petrol models, however, assumed that the empty during the technology update. Neither the new Grand Cherokee 2011er from the known six-cylinder or a modern automatic are available, it maintains the elderly 3, 3.7-liter V6 with four levels box and brisk thirst - 11.9 litres in the mix.
Has become also homely the Wrangler. The new "brand wheel", installed by the small compass to the Grand Cherokee, directs also the forefather. It has a completely redesigned mixer Board with modified instruments and additional shelves. In terms of comfort was also retrofitted. Climate automatic, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, heated seats, and the uconnect-navigation system are now on the list of options. A mountain restart support is standard on board, the automatic versions have a mountain down aid. With additional noise reduction is the Wrangler in the future on long-haul not even less demanding, with the larger side Windows of hardtops, the all-round visibility has also won. The three-part solid lid (the front halves of the roof can be removed individually) costs surcharge remains as well as full steel doors, as standard is the Wrangler very urwuchsig with fabric hood and half doors with push Windows to the customer.
Price Jeep (at least in the Wrangler) remains confident, the prospect of reduced tariffs was premature. Total base price for each variant to some hundred euros have increased, the new option of hard top painted in body colour costs 500 euro extra. Cheapest model is the short gasoline engine for 28.800 euro.
