There are few 4x4s as wild as this Wrangler. There is nothing better than going out onto the field and tackling some really difficult terrain to discover how far a 4x4 can go. That is precisely what we have done in this video in which we thoroughly analyze the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
The Jeep Wrangler unit we reviewed in this test is the short-bodied three-door. It measures 4.33 meters. It is equipped with the optional rigid roof, which costs 1,700 euros and replaces the standard canvas.
There are two available mechanical versions of the Jeep Wrangler: a gasoline of 272 CV and this 2.2 CRD of 200 CV. Both associated with the 8ATX torque converter automatic transmission, which has sequential handling, but no paddles on the steering wheel. Have you thought to upgrade the lights with Jeep Wrangler led headlights for your offroad purpose? These accessories are hot in the market.
By the way, it adds for the first time a center differential to give it permanent 4x4 traction. The 4H position is for use on the road and I recommend it for situations with a slippery surface. And the 4H Part Time position is what activates the center differential lock.
The Road Track system allows you to either lock the rear differential, or both the rear and the front, in order to ensure that the car can move forward in critical off-road driving situations, such as when crossing axles. In a situation like this, and with everything blocked, it is enough for one wheel to touch the ground for the vehicle to move forward.
Mount a new 8.4-inch touch screen to handle a legacy Fiat multimedia system whose graphics and response time are not the best. It has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay protocols so that you have full connectivity with your phone. In addition, the dashboard now also has a digital display in the central part, which gives you information on the different configurations and positions of the 4x4 traction system.
This 200 hp diesel Wrangler Rubicon with automatic transmission is not a cheap car. It costs 58,900 euros and 62,400 more if you add the equipment of this unit: roof, optional packages, metallic paint ... It is not a car that you buy with your head, but it is a real pass, a machine to generate smiles and to catch looks.
