Review: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 2.2 CRD AT8
Jeep introduced the fourth generation of its well-known Wrangler in 2018 and offered it in two wheelbases and also added the Rubicon flavor to it.
The Wrangler Rubicon was the most off-road capable vehicle in Jeep's inventory. With the four-door, long-wheelbase version, it became even more appealing for families. Thus, everybody could enjoy the great outdoors.
At first sight, there were not too many changes in the car's shape when compared with its predecessor, the JK-generation. And yet, subtle modifications such as the more tilted windscreen, the LED headlights and fog lamps, and the rounded shapes were a clear statement of evolution. In addition, at the back of the car, Jeep installed a rear-view camera directly on the cradle that supported the spare wheel. From its profile, the exposed hinges and the high ground clearance were also a signature mark for the Rubicon as it was the seven-slat grille for the Jeep brand.
While the exterior featured subtle changes, the interior was an important evolution. There were much nicer materials inside the Rubicon Unlimited. Jeep even offered an option for a leather-wrapped dashboard. Yet, the bucket seats at the front and the flat bench in the rear didn't provide any side support. The driver, on the other hand, could enjoy the start-button feature and the Uconnect infotainment system. In addition, a mix of digital and analog instrument panels provided all the information needed while driving.
Just like its predecessors, the Wrangler relied on a sturdy chassis. Its stabilizer bars could've been disengaged for higher axle mobility. Moreover, the front and rear diff-locks were fitted as standard on the Rubicon version. Under the hood, Jeep installed a choice of three engines: a 3.6-liter V6, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline unit carried over from Fiat and a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel. All of them were available with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic.
