Michigan,
United States -
Chrysler has released images of the new 2011 Jeep Wrangler
and Wrangler
Unlimited. Jeep continues to refine the successful Wrangler formula by
combining its legendary, benchmark capability with an all-new interior
that delivers rich styling with significantly upgraded touch surfaces,
occupant comfort and versatility.
"The iconic Jeep Wrangler
keeps getting better," said Mike Manley, President and CEO - Jeep
Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "While retaining unmatched, legendary
capability, the 2011 Jeep Wrangler boasts an all-new interior that
delivers a host of comfort, convenience and versatility features."
New
2011 Jeep Wrangler interior features a redesigned instrument
panel and new storage areas with improved ergonomics and upgraded
materials. A new lockable console and upgraded door armrest areas boast
comfortable touch points, while a redesigned centre stack is easier to
reach and operate. Heated, power mirrors are now available, and drivers
and passengers will enjoy enhanced visibility courtesy of larger rear
windows.
All-new steering-wheel controls
allow the driver to
operate the radio, cruise control, hands-free phone and other vehicle
functions while keeping hands on the wheel. A new USB device interface
connects to storage devices (thumb drives and most MP3 players) for use
with the vehicle’s Media Centre, which now includes streaming Bluetooth
audio. Twelve-volt accessory outlets have been added and a new 110-volt
outlet is available to provide power similar to AC outlets in the home.
In
line with traditional Jeep design, hex-head bolts are utilised
throughout the interior, and are used to mount a “Jeep, Since 1941”
inlay onto the new passenger grab handle.
Jeep engineers
increased acoustical treatment in the 2011 Wrangler and Wrangler
Unlimited, resulting in significantly reduced interior noise.
Pricing and specifications will be
announced closer to the launch in the first part of 2011.
