2018款吉普牧马人将在今年12月1日开幕的落砂机车展发布，而量产版车型将于12月中旬开始进抵经销商处。新车动力系统选择包括改进后的3.6升Pentastar V6搭配手动变速器或选装自动变速器。同时还将提供2.0升涡轮引擎并仅可搭配自动变速器。而更省油的柴油引擎将提供给2019款车型。不过，双门版Sahara车型似乎不会继续提供，而电动硬顶敞篷版本的2018款车型将在晚些时候发布。吉普官员还透露，Unlimited版本轴距将进一步增加，可为后排乘客提供更充裕腿部空间。新车还将提供按键起动/停止功能，座椅还带手动腰部支撑功能，Rubicon版本提供33英寸轮胎和重新设计的分动箱。新车可提供蓝/红/橙/黑/白/钢坯银/花岗岩水晶/巴哈黄和其他车身涂装。
2018 Jeep Wrangler Extensive Details Emerge From Dealer Meeting
An anonymous tipster has told the good folks at JLWrangerForums the next-generation Wrangler (JL) will be unveiled at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show, which is set to open its doors on December 1. According to the same source, dealers will have production models on display beginning with mid-late December.
Engine options upon launch will include a revised 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 hooked up to a manual gearbox or an optional automatic. An auto-only turbocharged 2.0-liter is also in the offing, while a thrifty diesel will be launched towards the end of the 2019 model year.
Based on the new intel, it looks like the two-door Sahara variant will not live to see a new generation while a power sliding hard top (PSHT) is going to be added late 2018MY. Jeep officials also revealed during the same meeting the Unlimited will boast a longer wheelbase, thus granting more legroom for passengers sitting in the back.
Start/stop technology with push button start is on the menu, as are seats with manual lumbar support adjustment, 33-inch tires for the Rubicon along with a redesigned transfer case handle. Colors will include blue, red, orange, black, white, Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Baja Yellow, and others as well.
