Highlights:

Quote:
The Wrangler will be priced from about $32,000, with Wrangler Unlimited to be priced from under $40,000.

It would have made more sense in the past to talk first about a Wrangler's ability off the road, but the new Wrangler is such a revelation on the road that it's the logical place to start.

That's not to say the Wrangler is very nimble on the bitumen, but now it's at least as comfortable and competent on the road as most other light truck-based four-wheel-drives.
Quote:
The Wrangler is bigger than its TJ predecessor. The two-door is 133mm wider and 340mm longer than the old model, while the Unlimited adds another 528mm.
