Jeep Wrangler 3.8 (2006) CAR review

Jeep's most agricultural model looks the same as ever. Has anything changed?

Jeep's design boffins confusingly tell you that the new Wrangler is exactly the same but totally different to the previous model. In translation, that means it looks much the same as the model they derived from the war-time Willys Jeep, and it shares the same rugged utilitarian principles. But under the skin they've worked hard to make it more user friendly and better on-road. They've even given top models two more doors and a removable roof, making it the only production four-door convertible currently on sale.

Are you saying it’s gone all girly on us?

No. The four-door Unlimited model looks like a mini-Hummer from some angles. And they still want it to be one of the most capable off-roaders in the world so they've worked hard at improving its talents in that department. They've added uprated transfer cases, new electric axle locks and an electronic disconnecting sway bar, as well as increasing the ground clearance and giving it larger wheels and tyres.
