Made-in-India Jeep Wrangler launch delayed, Off-roader to arrive on March 17

New Delhi: Jeep has postponed their launch of the Wrangler SUV to March 17 from March 15. Earlier, Wrangler was fully imported but now it will be assembled locally. The famous off-roader’s manufacturing will be done at Jeep’s Ranjangaon plant.

There will be two variants in Jeep Wrangler- Rubicon and Sahara. The Wrangler which was imported earlier used to come with a 2.0 litre turbo-petrol engine that produced 269PS and 400 Nm, paired with an eight-speed torque automatic converter. There could be some chances of Jeep offering 2.2 litre diesel engines with their India-made production. Wrangler will be coming with a 4WD drive-train and both the axles will be having differential locking.

Jeep Wrangler is one of the most ironical and well-known off-road SUV around the globe. It will be coming with four-wheel disc brakes, front-rear locking differentials, hill start assist, electronic roll mitigation, mud terrain tires in Rubicon trim and stability control.

Other Features

The off-roader will be including an 8.4- inch touch screen infotainment unit, connected car technology, Android Auto and Apple Carplay, LED headlamps, puss-start button, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, washable floor, front and side airbags, a twin-pod analogue instrument cluster and removable doors and hardtop.

There is no direct competition for Jeep Wrangler in the market for now. Prices are expected to lower down to around Rs 40 lakh, from the earlier price of Rs 63.90 lakh to Rs 68.90 lakh
