2011 Jeep Wrangler Reviewers

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler. Reviewers love the way the Jeep Wrangler can tackle rugged trails, but hate its clumsy and unrefined road manners.The 2011 Jeep Wrangler is like a lumberjack (and that’s okay).

There are few other off-road SUVs that offer styling as distinctive and off-road abilities as rugged as the Wrangler. For 2011, Jeep has improved the Wranglers interior, which has long been a sore spot for reviewers.

The Wrangler Rubicon also includes electronic locking front and rear differentials, an electronic sway bar disconnect, and 32-inch BF Goodrich off-road tires.

Even though Jeep engineers intensified the vehicle’s acoustical treatments for the 2011 model year, the Wrangler has never been—and still isn’t—a quiet SUV. With its military-use heritage, the this Jeep remains a duty-focused vehicle. Trudging through pothole-pitted roads, snow clogged arteries, and nasty off-road terrain is this compact SUV’s specialty.

The Wrangler’s dashboard stack display no longer seemingly borrows its inspiration from a stepladder. Wrangler’s rough-and tumble character gets softened as door armrests and other touch points are no longer rock hard. Entering and exiting the two-door’s back seat is still challenging, so anyone taking rear seat duty needs super-flexible limbs. Although the Wrangler’s rear window is approximately 15 percent bigger than the predecessor, the driver’s rearward vision remains compromised by the rear seat headrests.

EPA estimates for the two-door 4x4—whether fitted with the four-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission—are 15-mpg city and 19-mpg highway. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon’s interior alterations do a nice job of unifying the cabin presentation. What truly stands out is Wrangler’s off-road prowess.

You might not even distinguish the Jeep Wrangler, at a quick glance, out on the trail, from a much older Wrangler or CJ. That's what Jeep hopes, it seems; the brand has evolved the Wrangler's iconic exterior style very little over the years, and the flat side sheetmetal, trapezoidal wheel flares, and seven-slot grille keep with the Wrangler's military-truck heritage.

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler is offered in two different body styles (Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited) and three different trims (Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon). Wrangler Unlimited models add 20.6 inches of wheelbase (116 inches), giving them the most cargo space ever in a Jeep Wrangler, and a larger rear-seat design. Jeep Wrangler models can be equipped with air conditioning, navigation, automatic climate control, and streetwise alloy wheels. This year there's also a new Call of Duty: Black Ops special edition, based on the Wrangler Rubicon model.

More adventurer 2011 model Jeep Patriot Effectively retouched

This is one of the nicest compact SUVs on the market, but also one that is most forgotten (133 sales in 2009) and Jeep take the approach of some great shows to unveil the restyled version of this SUV along 4.40 m

The Jeep designers have mostly reworked the rear bumper spoiler, giving it a more "adventurer" owing mainly to the fact that the bottom of said bumper is plastic raw (less fragile than the painted version), available at the new Central Fog, somewhat in the spirit of what is available on the Wrangler. All round box is now protected by a black patch that boosts a little line of SUVs.

The Jeep engineers seems he did a great job at the undercarriage and the quality of the road holding of the Patriot is said to be more precise, more dynamic because of its new suspension but also a direction recalibrated . The Jeep Patriot also benefits from a new palette of colors and a new range of alloy wheels in 17 inches. The system "Hill Control" for the descent of the Patriot comes as a further multiplication of the BVM and the possibility to leave the couple to 50/50 front and rear.

Another novelty is to be found in the cockpit that offers us a new dashboard, with plastics more opulent, and rounding a more flattering look for passengers. The driver will find pleasure in a nice three-spoke multifunction steering wheel to replace the current model easily worthy of a Chrysler in the early 90's!

In terms of news, we find a cruise control, new seats that finally seem comfortable

Jeep Storm Detroit Renegade Hybrid Concept

Jeep Storm Detroit Renegade Hybrid Concept

Starring alongside what become the rather more conservative Chrysler and Dodge concept vehicles next to Jeep’s Renegade Hybrid Vehicle last January’s Detroit Auto Show is a concept car designed from the outset to turn around heads as much as global warming.

This is a compact, sports concept employing weight-saving strategies and an array of drivetrain technologies to produce an eco-Jeep worthy of its nameplate. Packing the combination of a lithium-ion battery pack, electric motors and a Bluetec diesel engine, the Jeep Renegade is a concept whose strength lies in numbers: namely the 110 mpg fuel consumption figure that Chrysler expects it to return. Four-wheel-drive capability is assisted through dual electric motors with an 85 kW total output which are each dedicated to an axle.

To aid achieving such impressive fuel economy, an aluminium frame reduces weight, while stylish but lightweight features such as a cut-down windshield, roll bar, openings in the door panels and a hose-out interior too aid both function and form. Stay tuned for more information to follow shortly ahead of the concept’s debut at Detroit early next year. Until then, stay in the know for all things eco-friendly on our green category page.
