The new 2012 Jeep gets several nips and tucks and promises to become more powerful than ever. The 2012 Jeep is getting a new all-aluminum 3.6-liter Pentastar engine. As a performance booster, this one should take the cake. The 2012 Jeep Wrangler delivers 285 horsepower, 83 hp more than the earlier iron-block engine; in percentage terms that is a straight 41% improvement! Torque too has been ramped up to 260 lb-ft; and the whole assembly is coupled with six-speed transmission. That should be the power that off-roaders are made of. (Other transmission systems are also available.)
Jeep’s fascination lies in its daring to take you on the most supercilious road that would dismay most other SUVs, crossovers, off-roaders what so ever. It is this exceptionally rugged capability that is keeping Wranglers and Rubicons at the top of sales charts. Now that long-awaited improvements have been loaded, anyone who loves the ‘natural’ road is sure to be delighted.
Basics are essential and interesting; here are they. Jeep’s 2012 Wrangler comes in two-door and four-door versions; Sport, Sahara and the top-of-the range Jeep Rubicon are the trims to gratify individual needs and tastes. Two-door 2012 Jeep Sport drives on 16-inch wheels, it has cruise control capability, a tilting steering wheel and height-adjustable driver’s seat. Six speakers and a CD player can be controlled from the steering wheel. You can remove the soft top and crank windows, when the inclination hits you.
2012 Jeep Sport Unlimited is a four-door version, carrying a bigger gas tank and offers more space at the rear. You can stow more gear in the bigger trunk. For options, you have Keyless entry, Power locks and mirrors, air-conditioning and the satellite radio.
Upgraded suspension, robust insulation under the hood, side steps and 18-inch wheels (alloy) are the additional features available on 2012 Jeep Sahara. Body colored fender flares and color-matched hard top play a role in the distinctive style. Automatic headlamps are a real convenience in situations that the Sahara is expected to surmount. Infinity sound system with six speakers manages the audio section quite well.
Heavy-duty axles, real biggie 32-inch tires are why the 2012 Jeep Rubicon is the toughest of the range. And, Rubicon ‘can level any playing field’ (to quote Chrysler ;) you can flip a switch and disconnect front sway-bar, lowering the front wheels, when you are driving in four-wheel mode and below 18 mile-speed. Rock Rails help to prevent sliding over boulders and rocks. These heavy-duty sill guards add strength and protection to the lower body-side and cut down chances of body damage. The standard 3.73 axle-gear ratio is expected to give a better crawl rate with 2012 automatic Rubicon than the 2011 version.
On the color side too, 2012 Jeep is alluring; while Gecko Green is optional, Deep Molten Red, Black Chrystal Pearl, Dozer Yellow, Sahara Tan and Cosmos Blue can indulge you on the mountain range or within dense forests.
Fuel efficiency aspect of 2012 Wrangler is heartwarming; it travels 21 miles on the highway per gallon, quite an economical rate, considering that it is an off-roader.
Buttressing all this good news is the price tag; Jeep is not hiking the price for Wrangler. Jeep Rubicon and Sahara models may however, ask for a few hundreds more.
To sum up the Wrangler saga, here is interesting news: Jeep will also release a 2012 Call of duty special edition.
