Jeep Canada provided us with the price range of its new Wrangler, and the bill is quite a jump compared to the previous generation.

While the Wrangler out, the JK, is available from 27 945$ for 2018, he will need to spend a minimum of 33 945$ for the new model, whose code name is now JL. An increase of$ 6,000, in short.

At this price, you have the right to the model “Sport” two-door. Whether you opt for the JK or JL, the two Wrangler is powered by a V6 engine of 3.6 liter is paired to a manual transmission with six reports.

For the four-door version, the new Wrangler JL 2018 raises the invoice to 41 745$. Again, this is an increase of$ 6,000, compared to 35 745$ that is needed for the Wrangler JK, also available for one last hurrah as a model-year 2018.

What is it that can justify such a difference? Not a lot of things, in fact.

The new Wrangler JL offers a standard equipment much more fleshed out than the JK. These include the push button start, 17-inch wheels, back-up camera and a touch-screen, 5-inch now compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Jeep has also made a bunch of improvements to the model, in particular by facilitating the removal of the roof and the lowering of the windshield, which is now done by removing the four small bolts. With the Wrangler JK, it was necessary to remove 28!

Through a mechanically altered and better aerodynamics, Jeep also announced a fuel consumption improved by 10%. The option of a new automatic transmission in eight reports made its appearance, and a four-cylinder engine 2.0-litre turbocharged. We expect even a diesel version for 2019.

In short, there are many reasons to love the new version of the Jeep Wrangler. We will post our complete report from our road test on these pages by the end of the week.

All that remains is an increase of$ 6,000, on the invoice, it will certainly not go unnoticed.
