吉普今年将推出全新铝制车身牧马人，最近谍照记者在底特律拍到了该车照片。当时该车的车身伪装比以前更少一些，但即便如此也无法看清车身细节，只能确定新车仍采用方正造型。经过改款的车身气动布局使外观变得更顺滑一些，略微改款前格栅和固定风挡已经是最显著的变化了。另外该车还提供了此前没有的倒车摄像头。隐藏在伪装下的是新的钢铝车身结构，这将使车重大幅降低。至于动力系统，该车将标配Pentastar V6引擎和八速自动变速器，但新的3.0升V6涡轮柴油和Hurricane四缸涡轮增压引擎也将成为动力系统组合的一部分。据传未来还将增加混动版本。除了粗犷外观外，新车的人机工程学和燃油经济性也将提升，这将让这款小众SUV变得更像一辆主流车型。目前还不清楚该车将在何时发布，但预计将在今年洛杉矶车展或明年初北美车展亮相。

 

Hello, 2018 Jeep Wrangler, fancy spying you here

Jeep sent off its current-generation Wrangler in style with the debut of the Rubicon Recon in Chicago. But now the automaker is looking forward to the arrival of its all-new, mostly aluminum model, making its debut within the year.

 

Though we don’t know much of the details surrounding this new and improved Jeep, these new spy shots should help crack the code. The Wrangler was spotted in Detroit wearing a bit less camouflage than before. Even with more of the body panels exposed, it’s tough to deduce exactly what the SUV will look like... other than boxy.

 

A few aerodynamic tweaks will give the body a sleeker look, and a slightly revised front grille and a fixed windshield will be among the most significant changes. It will also come with something we’ve never seen on the Wrangler before – a backup camera.

 

Underneath all that extravagant camouflage will be a new aluminum and steel construction that will bring the weight down significantly. The Pentastar V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission will come standard, but a new 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel and a turbocharged four-cylinder "Hurricane" engine are expected to join the range. A hybrid powertrain has also been rumored.

 

Along with the same ruggedness you’ve come to expect in Jeep products past, the new Wrangler will see improved ergonomics and efficiency, making the typically niche SUV a bit more mainstream. No official word on when the new Wrangler will make its debut, but reports point to a debut either at the Los Angeles Auto Show later in the year, or at the Detroit Auto Show the beginning of 2018.
