The upgrades include new headlights, taillights, an updated seven-slot grille and daytime running lights. It shares a few of its design cues with the all-new Wrangler, which is a very good thing.

As for the engines, Jeep seems to have dropped diesel. The engine line-up for the facelifted model includes a 1-litre turbocharged three-cylinder with 90kW and a 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbo in 112kW and 134kW guises.

No South African release date has been set, but we’ll keep you updated.
