Thanks to the new Chrysler – Fiat alliance, Jeep® consumers are in for a treat in 2011, with driver friendly upgrades, re-vamped interiors and improvements in 16 Chrysler vehicles, including the 2011 Jeep® Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited.
Production for the 2011 Jeep® Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited began this month, and already, photos and articles boasting new interior upgrades and other departures from Wranglers-past are popping up everywhere. For those who get nostalgic and misty-eyed over a “persistently plastic” monotone interior, Chrysler has offered at least one “piece of the past” to placate your loss, with hex-head bolts used throughout the interior, mounting a “Jeep, Since 1941″ inlay to the new passenger grab handle (ooohhhh, but so soft this time around)! For those who have cringed at the less-than-luxurious interior of Wranglers-past, and wished there was more creature-comfort for your muddy ride, the 2011 Wrangler delivers!
New and notable features of the 2011 Jeep® Wrangler:
• Redesigned instrument panel and center stack
• New storage options and a lockable console
• Larger rear windows for better visibility while driving
• Heated, power mirrors (Available option)
• Three-spoke steering wheel with built in controls for operating the radio, cruise control, a hands-free phone, and other functions…
• USB interface for iPod and other MP3 players
• 12-Volt Accessory outlets
• One 110-volt outlet similar to what you would use in your home
• The inclusion of acoustic dampening materials in the cabin that work to reduce outside noise
• Two-tone interiors are now an option!
• And last (but not least), the Sahara model has a brand new body-colored hard top!!!!
* New colors for Wrangler include Detonator Yellow, Deep Cherry Red, Sahara Tan, Cosmos Blue and Bright White
Mechanically, the 2011 Wrangler / Unlimited remains unchanged, with a 3.8 liter V-6 engine and six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission; however, the 2011 interior upgrades alone are enough to make you want to trade your old stand-by in for new, modern comfort in the same Wrangler you have come to know and love, on and off the road.
