2015 Jeep Wrangler Black Edition II to Bow in Geneva

I know you are all excited by the 2018 Jeep Wrangler and all the things it will make it so great: an aluminum body shell, a ZF eight-speed automatic, an electric motor that will enhance off-road capabilities and whatever the future holds. Still, the Wrangler we will cover today is dubbed the Black Edition II.

Slated to make its world debut at Geneva in a few days’ time, the Jeep Wrangler Black Edition II series will be sold only in Europe in two guises - Wrangler or Wrangler Unlimited with a selection of two engines:

a 2.8-liter turbo diesel or the good ol’ 3.6-liter Pentastar V6

The oil burner is rated 200 horsepower and 460 Nm (339 lb-ft) of torque, while the vee-six petrol churns out 284 horsepower and 347 Nm (256 lb-ft) of twist. As expected, the only transmission option that’ll be available comes in the form of a five-speed slush box.

Based on the Wrangler Sahara, features that are unique to this limited-run offroader are a set of 18-inch alloy rims, the front grille’s 7 slits of the blacked-out around the edges, a black wheel cover and similarly black logos everywhere. Needless to say, even the fuel filler cap is finished in black ‘cause why not?

Dear Jeep and Fiat-Chrysler or FCA or what name you’re using this week, could you stop doing special edition over special edition? It would be more lucrative to hurry up the R&D of the all-new Wrangler.
