Chrysler to Release New Version of Jeep Wrangler
Chrysler Group has released images of the new 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. The new 2011 Jeep Wrangler interior highlights include a redesigned instrument panel and new storage areas with improved ergonomics and upgraded materials.
A lockable console and upgraded door armrest areas boast comfortable touch points, while a redesigned center 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, says Chrysler.
“The iconic Jeep Wrangler keeps getting better,” said Mike Manley, president and CEO – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Sahara models now feature a stunning, all-new body-color hard top, for customers looking for a Jeep Wrangler with a more premium appearance.”
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 Center, 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 utilized throughout the interior, and are used to mount a “Jeep, Since 1941” inlay onto the new passenger grab handle, the company says.
Jeep engineers increased acoustical treatment in the 2011 Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, resulting in significantly reduced interior noise, it says.
And new Jeep Wrangler colors are available for 2011, including Detonator Yellow, Deep Cherry Red, Sahara Tan, Cosmos Blue and Bright White.
Production of the new 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited began earlier this week at the Toledo Assembly Complex in Toledo, Ohio.
