India-bound Jeep Wrangler spied testing ahead of launch

The new Jeep Wrangler was spied testing ahead of its India launch on 9 August 2019. Like the outgoing model, the new-gen Jeep Wrangler will be sold in India as a CBU (completely built unit). The SUV is expected to be introduced in three-door and five-door variants. The one spotted on test is believed to be the Rubicon variant.

The camouflaged vehicle featured the traditional seven-slot grille which complements the round headlamps with LED units. The new bumper gets projector fog lamps and the prominent wheel arch fenders get LED DRLs with integrated turn indicators. The rear gets LED tail lamps and a spare wheel mounted on the tailgate. Also, as seen in images, the rear section of the three-door version will get fixed glass on either side. 

Internationally, the Jeep Wrangler is available in four engine options. These include a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 270bhp and 400Nm of torque; a 3.6-litre, V6 petrol that produces 285bhp and 353Nm of torque; a 2.2-litre, four-cylinder diesel that generates 197bhp and 450Nm of torque and a 3.0-litre, V6-diesel that produces 240bhp and 570Nm of torque. The engines are available in six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic options. More details about the SUV will be known post its official launch later this week.
