Jeep Wrangler, SUV Trend, Crossing the Rubicon

Seeing is not enough to be able to tell, but the fact is the Jeep Wrangler has undergone a transformation. Its iconic heritage, 7 slot grille, round headlights, short wheelbase, soft or hard top, still clearly visible. But make no mistake that this Jeep gives the offroader a big change for 2012. Hold an invitation to test Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2012 in one of the most difficult path for 4x4 vehicles, which are often used by virtually all exclusive vehicles that have been modified. If we observe a Jeep that was the result of major changes in both the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited 4-door. The first part of the changes made in model year 2011, when it JK (Wrangler code name of the current generation) get a new interior, and the color of the new hard top and fender flares for the variant Sahara. Hard top using the same composite material as before, that sounds like small change, but it actually has huge impact on the appearance of the Wrangler. In addition, a larger rear window for model year 2011, increasing visibility.

For the 2012 model, hard tops and body color fender flares be optional on the variant Rubicon goods as well. The interior also got a touch of the revised range. Including the use of high quality materials, a redesigned center stack, instrument panel all new, and more soundproof. New jeep Wrangler also obtain additional number of devices comfort like never before, seat heaters, power heated mirrors, and steering wheel controls. All Wrangler models that includes cabin 2012 as the best cabin in the ranks of the Wrangler. The second part, before the outgoing 2012 model, Jeep Wrangler will get noticed Pentastar engine, although the plant origin of Michigan has not made an official announcement. The combination makes the perfect Wrangler 2012: more power, greater torque, and more fuel efficient. V6 engine that powered the previous capacity of 3.8 L 202 HP and 321 Nm of torque all be replaced with aluminum Pentastar V6 is a smaller capacity (3.6 liter) but was able to catapult 285 horsepower and 353 Nm.

At the 6-speed manual transmission model will be retained, but the four-speed automatic transmission disposed replaced with a 5 speed as used Grand Cheroker. New Wrangler also still carried the essential mechanical features of the old, such as axles, suspension, steering, and brakes. Similarly, the dimensions and body structure. At the time of testing, had to go through the street uphill and down sharply with the vacant traffic conditions, so they can test the acceleration Pentastar. It turns out 3.6 liter V6 engine is proven shine, although the combination of path uphill and winding-down the engine at a time can reveal weaknesses now than ever before.
