Jeep Wrangler

Positives: Being 'Trail Rated' means the Wrangler can encounter the toughest terrain. The Jeep Wrangler's engine has strong pulling power to tackle off-road sections with ease. The Off-road Plus mode adjusts throttle, gearshifting, and traction control for better off-road control. The serious 4WD technology and knobby tyres allow it to drive through ditches/over large rocks. The TRULOC locks power to the front and rear differentials for better power distribution when rock crawling. With up to 237mm of ground clearance, it boosts confidence especially when driving through a river. The Rock-Trac is a full-time 4WD system providing optimal traction without driver input. The Electronic Sway Bar Disconnect remotely disconnects the sway bar to let the front wheels drop and compress more (improved articulation). The high-resolution front camera improves visibility when judging narrow sections and extreme angles. The Selec-Trac full-time 4WD system automatically switches from 4WD to 2WD on clear roads for better efficiency. It gets Dana 44HD full-float rear axle for increased strength, giving it more load-carrying capability. Negatives: The Wrangler's extreme off-road hardware and intent do not make it ideal for on-the-road usage.

Positives: The cabin is fairly roomy, and when the roof is removed, the feeling of space is incredible. It gets dual-zone automatic climate control for the front-row seats. All the controls for the car's functions are handy as the design is straightforward. It is available with a remote start-stop function to ready the vehicle before the driver enters. Both the Nappa leather seats and steering have heating functionality. It is equipped with a seven-inch driver information display that can be customised. The 12-way electric driver and front passenger seats have sealed controls to prevent water damage during off-roading. It has a user-friendly and responsive 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, voice commands, and wireless connectivity. The 'Keyless Enter n Go' unlocks the doors when the key is nearby. It comes with a nine-speaker Alpine audio system with a subwoofer for off-road entertainment. The laminated front door glass and front seat carpet area reduce external noises considerably. It is available with an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror to avoid glare. Negatives: The seating comfort is not impressive due to the firm cushioning and small seat base at the rear. Read more

Positives: The rugged, robust, and no-nonsense stance accounts for a large chunk of admirers. The Wrangler comes with automatic LED headlamps, LED DRLs, and fog lamps. The removable doors allow for versatility and open-air off-roading. The new seven-slot painted grille is more aesthetic and provides more airflow. It comes with 17-inch and 18-inch grey-painted machined aluminium wheels. The ‘Black Freedom Top’ is a three-piece modular hardtop that can be removed when required. The ‘Power Dome’ vented hood allows for better airflow to and from the engine. Negatives: The slab-style dashboard design feels utilitarian and does not appeal to everyone. Read more
