The Jeep Wrangler has long been known as a sturdy and durably 4×4 that is going to get a new model released next year. However, the American carmaker has been working day and night as they aim to reduce as much weight as possible, while making the next Wrangler more powerful than ever.
Jeep revealed that the Wrangler will be jumping to the efficiency trend where it will disregard large engines and focus on optimizing every drop of fuel. As such, the company is considering utilizing cheaper materials to develop the Wrangler.
In detail the Wrangler will be utilizing aluminium for its body structure and will sport a raked nose and windscreen to improve its aerodynamics. The main focus will be with the all-new 8-speed automatic transmission that will possibly power a four-cylinder diesel engine. After all, it is the gearbox that will enhance fuel efficiency.
All in all, it is an exciting year ahead if you are a fan of the Wrangler from Jeep. However, the choice of aluminium leaves us all worried that the 4×4 won’t be as sturdy and durable as its predecessors were.
