The New Wrangler Is Almost Here, But It Will Come At A Cost.
FCA AUSTRALIA has revealed the specs and prices of the JL Wrangler, which is appearing in some Oz Jeep dealers already but won’t officially go on sale until April or May.
The JL will be available in both short wheelbase two-door and long-wheelbase four-door variants, with a choice of the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 petrol engine or the 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel. Both engines are offered with the eight-speed automatic transmission only.
Sure to disappoint many Wrangler buyers is the fact there will be no manual gearbox offered in Australian Wranglers, nor will we get the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol or the 3.0-litre diesel V6 engine offered elsewhere. There’s also no SWB Rubicon model.
The cheapest JL Wrangler is the SWB Wrangler Sport S at $48,950, which is a considerable step up in entry price from the current $38,990 JK Wrangler Sport with the same engine. Likewise at the top end of the price range, where a LWB JK Rubicon which started at $53,990 with an auto will now set you back in excess of $63,950. Want a diesel engine in that Rubicon? That will add $5000 to the price!
This is the first time the Wrangler Rubicon has been offered here with a diesel engine alternative. The 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine delivers 146kW at 3500rpm and 347Nm at 2000rpm.
