据菲亚特克莱斯勒老板Sergio Marchionne透露，下一代吉普牧马人将在今年11月举行的洛杉矶车展上首次亮相。这款车将于同月在俄亥俄州Toledo的吉普工厂组装，随后将于明年初上市。该工厂还将继续生产现行版车型直至2018年3月，然后菲亚特克莱斯勒将换生产线生产新一代牧马人皮卡。而这款皮卡预计将于明年底或2019年初上市。至于新车细节也在不断曝光，美铝将负责提供新车的铝制引擎盖和车门，这将使新车重量进一步降低。从经销商处获得的信息显示，新车采用渐进式改款，仍是方正造型，但格栅更陡直，前轮拱提供LED照明。可能会提供三片可拆卸车顶。该车上市之初搭载基于现行版，但进一步升级的V6引擎，但未来还将提供四缸涡轮，柴油，甚至混动系统。

 

2018 Jeep Wrangler heading to Los Angeles Auto Show

According to Fiat Chrylser Automobiles boss Sergio Marchionne speaking to the Toledo Blade, the next-gen Jeep Wrangler’s premiere could happen at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Assembly would begin at Jeep’s factory in Toledo, Ohio, during the same month, and they would arrive in showrooms early in 2018.

 

The factory will continue to build the current model until at least March 2018 when FCA will then retool the assembly line for building the new Wrangler pickup. Based on that timeline, the pickup will potentially arrive in showrooms late that year or possibly in early 2019.

 

Details continue to leak out about the new Wrangler giving us a lot to look forward to. For example, we know Alcoa is supplying an aluminum hood and doors, which should cut a few pounds off the scales. A slide from a dealer presentation suggests an evolution of the current, boxy design but with a more steeply raked grille and LED lights in the front fenders. A three-piece removable roof is a possibility, too. An updated version of the current V6 would likely be available at launch, but a turbocharged four-cylinder, diesel, and even a hybrid could arrive later.
