The icon of the Jeep brand, the Wrangler is Jeep’s traditional off-road vehicle which continues to offer exceptional off-road capability, and is a modern interpretation of the original Jeep CJ. When the 1997 Wrangler was unveiled at the Detroit and L.A. auto shows in January 1996, it was obvious that the new model had remained faithful to the distinctive styling of the original Jeep—a boxy, utilitarian shape that has been Jeep's signature for over 50 years. Jeep purists were also pleased by the Wrangler’s return to Jeep's traditional round headlights. The 2007 Jeep Wrangler made its debut at the 2006 NAIAS in Detroit featuring an all-new frame, exterior and interior design and an upgraded engine. With more ground clearance, 100 percent stiffer frame, 50 percent stiffer body and a five-link coil suspension, the Wrangler has new sound-deadening techniques to reduce cabin noise by more than 20 percent. A four-door Wrangler Unlimited is available for the first time with seating for five adults and cargo space behind the rear seat that’s almost three times the standard Wrangler’s.
The 2008 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited offer the Sahara Appearance Group with 18-inch aluminum wheels, bright steering-wheel spokes and air-conditioning outlet rings, front and rear bumper overlays. Detonator Yellow is added as an exterior color for Wrangler X and Rubicon. A tire pressure monitoring system is standard and remote start is available as an option. The Sunrider soft top is standard on Wrangler Sahara and Wrangler Rubicon.
