JL Wrangler Forums managed to extract some information about the 2018 Jeep Wrangler from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ dealer ordering system – like that it will be available with a power-retractable soft top.  

Other information confirmed the  powertrain range. JL Wrangler Forums say that the Wrangler will be available with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, and the engine will have a starter-generator, which probably means stop-start capability. The 3.6-liter V6 will still be available as well as 3.0-liter turbodiesel. There will be a choice of transmission: either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.

At the moment Jeep Wrangler offers 13 different trims in the US for the two-door Wrangler and four-door Wrangler Unlimited. These will be whittled down according to the leak and the new lineup will be: Sport and Rubicon for the Wrangler; plus Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon for the Wrangler Unlimited. The Unlimited Sahara will come with full-time four-wheel drive system.

 

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
