Rather unexpectedly, Jeep has decided to release the first photos of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler amid the 2017 SEMA Show.
The three images released show the all-new Wrangler in both two-door and four-door Unlimited versions. Oddly, they weren’t accompanied by much information about the 4×4. Here’s the press release in its entirety:
“The most capable SUV ever delivers even more legendary Jeep® 4×4 capability, a modern design that stays true to the original, advanced fuel-efficient powertrains, more open-air options, and is loaded with more safety features and advanced technology than ever before. The all-new Wrangler’s unique design includes an instantly recognizable keystone-shaped grille, iconic round headlamps and square tail lamps, improved aerodynamics, a convenient fold-down windshield for off-road purists, even more open-air freedom, and dozens of different door, top and windshield combinations. Additional images and complete vehicle information will be available November 29 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.”

After a number of leaks, the Wrangler’s design doesn’t come as much of a surprise. As far as the powertrain goes, we’re expecting a 3.6-liter V6, along with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, both of which will be offered with a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic transmission. A leaked order guide indicated the hardtop will be optional, and both Sahara and Rubicon trims will be offered from launch. Previous leaks also showed the Wrangler will get a serious technology update inside in the way of the latest versions of FCA’s UConnect system.
