吉普牧马人轮胎一位成员最近拍到了完全无伪装的下一代牧马人,这张照片只是显示了车身侧面三分之二的外观。可以看到座椅上的塑料件和后背磨损的安全背心。由此判断,这张照片是在组装厂拍到的,很有可能就是菲亚特克莱斯勒Toledo组装厂。照片还显示,引擎盖更具雕刻感,同时增加了散热孔,与现行版Rubicon没什么不同。吉普牧马人论坛透露,新一代牧马人将在12月的洛杉矶车展首次亮相,而经销商将很快有新车进行展示。如果真是这样,那么本月就能看到最初量产的牧马人。新车预计将搭载3.6升V6引擎,搭配手动或自动变速器。另一台2.0升四缸涡轮引擎则只搭配自动变速器。据传,新车还可提供柴油引擎,但要等到2019年晚些时候才会推出。
Next-Generation Jeep Wrangler Caught Completely Exposed
Here’s a Tuesday treat for Jeep fans. A member over at JLWranglerForums.com with the user name Work posted up what appears to be a fully uncovered next-generation Jeep Wrangler, or at least, two-thirds of it. We are given no context for the photo, though judging by what appears to be plastic on the seats and the safety vests being worn by individuals in the background, we’ll assume this shot was hastily snapped in a plant somewhere, perhaps at FCA’s Toledo assembly location.
A sculpted recess on the fender with an engine bay vent is clearly visible, and we can also see some interesting sculpting and vents on the hood, not unlike the current Rubicon. The JLWranglerForums.com crew also tipped us off a few weeks ago on rumors from an FCA dealer meeting, reporting that the new Wrangler would debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in December. The same report also said dealers would have production models on display shortly thereafter, so if that information is accurate, it’s absolutely feasible to see early production Wranglers in mid-August.
When the new off-roader arrives, it’s expected to feature a 3.6-liter V6 with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, or a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-pot that comes only with the auto. A new diesel mill is also rumored to be in the works, with availability beginning later in 2019.
