2012 Jeep® Wrangler maintains off-road leadership, increases power and efficiency
The new 2012 Jeep® Wrangler is an impressive vehicle, an icon that's as capable as ever but much easier to live with on a daily basis, thanks to the added refinement of the new engine and the 2011 interior upgrade, Road and Track said.
"Let's get right to the point: the new power-train absolutely transforms the Wrangler," AutoPacific's VehicleVoice.com said. "It's far more powerful and fuel efficient. It's as off-road capable as ever," VehicleVoice.com said. "It's a win-win for everyone. And that, friends, is progress."
The 3.6-liter Pentastar engine completes a two-year makeover that saw the interior redone for the 2011 model year, transforming the Wrangler into a rather premium entry that maintains its still-affordable base price, Autoweek said.
The 2012 Wrangler now has the on-road refinement and power-train performance to match its competitors while maintaining all the off-road cred, the iconic look and the no-sacrifices tough-as-nails layout, The Car Connection said.
The Car Connection writer said he frequently caught him-self uttering "wow" while testing the vehicle on the trail. Popular Mechanics said that even with all the on-road improvements, the Wrangler "remains the most capable off-road vehicle you can buy." The top comes off, as do the doors, and the windshield even folds down for those who want the wind in their face these unique features have been Jeep hallmarks for years and they're still included on the latest Jeep Wrangler, the Toronto Star said.
