Under the hood, there is a 2.0-litre high power turbo petrol engine which churns out 268 PS of power and 400 Nm of torque. This engine comes mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission. It comes with diff locks which are activated electrically using a switch given on the central console. It benefits from a dedicated four-wheel-drive (4WD) high and low mode along with a new 4WD auto mode. Being a Wrangler, the off-road capability is at the heart of this SUV. It will have exceptional ground clearance, water wading ability, and manoeuvrability on almost any surface.

The Wrangler is an absolute legend when the roads end. Over the years, no one has come much close to challenging the legacy of the Wrangler and rightly so. Land Rover Defender and to an extent the Mercedes G-Wagon can be classified as its rivals but both these machines have of late, been built around on-road characteristics as well. Either way, if you want an SUV to boss around off the road as if your life depended on it, we know your pick!
