Based on the alloys, the model seen here appears to be the top-spec Rubicon variant and this one is the 3-door Jeep Wrangler, which wasn't offered in India with the previous-gen model. However, this time around, Jeep India will be launching the new-gen model of the off-road SUV in both 3-door and 5-door Wrangler Unlimited versions. Also, like the outgoing model, the new-gen Jeep Wrangler too will be offered as a CBU (completely built unit) model.

Unlike the previously seen uncamouflaged prototype models, the latest test mule is seen with what appears to be a camouflage wrap. The earlier test mules we have seen were of the Sahara trim, which sits right below the Rubicon trim of the new-gen Jeep Wrangler. Design-wise, the off-road SUV comes with the same butch and boxy silhouette that is signature to the Wrangler, with new modern elements. So, upfront, the SUV gets the iconic seven-slot grille flanked by classic round headlamps with LED units.

The wheel arch fender house a set of LED daytime running lamps with integrated turn indicators, while the new beefy bumper comes with projector foglamps. Other bits include flared wheel arches, side footboard, a set of LED taillamps, and tailgate-mounted spare wheel. The stoplight has been integrated into the stand holding the spare wheel. Being a 3-door model, the SUV comes with fixed glass on either side instead of windows for the rear section.

Globally, the Wrangler features a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that features mild-hybrid technology for the first time. The Jeep Wrangler will only be available with an 8-speed automatic gearbox - which is also brand new.
