The same morning that the current Jeep JK won, yet again, the “Hottest SUV” title at the SEMA Show, the world finally got to see the coming JL in pretty much full detail.
“You might want to come to the MOPAR press conference,” we heard from a couple sources at SEMA. “You might see something. Bring your camera.”
What we saw was the formerly camo’ed-only 2018 Jeep Wrangler, clear as day. Or rather, clear as sunset, which is what looks like was happening in these shots.
You can see details of the grille, headlights — heck, the whole thing!
Jeep released the following statement on its website, along with the crystal-clear photos you see here of the new 4×4.
“The most capable SUV ever delivers even more legendary Jeep 4×4 capability, a modern design that stays true to the original, advanced fuel-efficient powertrains, more open-air options, and is loaded with more safety features and advanced technology than ever before. The all-new Wrangler’s unique design includes an instantly recognizable keystone-shaped grille, iconic round headlamps and square tail lamps, improved aerodynamics, a convenient fold-down windshield for off-road purists, even more open-air freedom, and dozens of different door, top and windshield combinations. Additional images and complete vehicle information will be available Nov. 29 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.”
Jeep JL from above — maybe you can zoom in and see if it has satellite radio.
So while there wasn’t much in the way of powertrain information, at least now you don’t have to imagine what it looks like under the camouflage.
We await LA.
