Extreme Terrain Offers Rendition of 2018 Jeep Wrangler

ExtremeTerrain is excited to give enthusiasts a first look at the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Using high quality renders, we have translated all of the changes that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has announced and taken the various design details that have been spotted on the 2018 test vehicles and compiled them into a series of images that give us a clearer picture of what the new Wrangler is going to look like.

 

2018 Jeep Wrangler JL

To really illustrate the subtle and not-so-subtle differences between the outgoing JK model and the future JL model, we have also created a sliding image of the two generations of Wranglers—overlaid on top of each other—to allow everyone to clearly see the new direction for the ’18 Wrangler. The main visual differences between the JK and JL Wrangler are in:

The grille – slanted back on the 2018 model

The fender flares – boxier and elongated on the 2018 model

The window line – which is sleeker and has a more defined line on the 2018 model

The hood – more aggressive, with hood vents and hood bump

Aside from the visual changes on the JL model, the 2018 Wrangler Parts Page goes over the engineering differences in the next gen model as well. The page discusses the new engine options for 2018, such as:

The 300 HP turbo 4 cylinder “Hurricane” engine and the possibility of a new diesel engine

Differences in the transmission options are explored, including the 8-speed ZF-sourced automatic and the confirmation of a 6-speed manual

Updates to the interior design and layout

The use of aluminum throughout the body to reduce weight and boost fuel economy

The new top options that will be a glass top, power soft top, and true 3-piece hardtop

Along with all the information on the 2018 Wrangler, enthusiasts can also find information on the new 2019 Jeep Wrangler Pickup Truck, that is due out shortly after the ’18 Wrangler.

The ExtremeTerrain 2018 Jeep Wrangler Pages serves to fully inform enthusiasts with all the who, what, when, where, and how of the next gen Wrangler, giving them a clear look at what is to come. You can read and view more about the changes planned for the Jeep Wrangler by clicking HERE.
