Building on the success of the recent special-edition Wrangler vehicles, Jeep introduces in Geneva another high-impact, limited-edition model: the new Jeep Wrangler Mountain. This special edition will arrive in European dealerships at the end of the second quarter of 2012.
With a unique exterior and interior design enhanced by exclusive styling cues, 17-inch wheels and authentic accessories by Mopar®, the new special-edition model is the vehicle for those who want to stand out in the open spaces. In expressing the endless possibilities of customization of the iconic Wrangler, the new Mountain edition pays tribute to those who actively enjoy the outdoors. With the Mountain theme recalled by the name of the vehicle, the special edition underlines that, thanks to benchmark technology and unmatched off-road expertise, the iconic Wrangler is capable of overcoming the most demanding trails and the most challenging driving conditions.
Jeep Wrangler Mountain is based on the Wrangler Sport model, and it will be available on both two-door and four-door (Wrangler Unlimited) versions. Exterior features include a unique black decal on the hood, front Mineral Gray grille and painted high-gloss Mineral Gray 17-inch wheels. Additional features are the ‘Mountain’ decal over part of the hood with latitude and longitude coordinates familiar to outdoor enthusiasts, side steps and black fuel-filler door from Mopar.
The interior features fabric seats with Slate Gray stitching and embroidered ‘Mountain’ logo. Additional Mopar treatment in the cabin consists of tread-pattern slush mats.
All-new exterior color Gecko enhances the vehicle displayed in Geneva. This new color joins existing exterior colors, now available for the Jeep Wrangler Mountain: Black, Bright White, Dozer Yellow and Deep Forest Green.
The new Mountain special-edition model will be powered by the 2.8-liter turbo-diesel engine producing 147 kW (200 hp DIN) at 3,600 rpm and 460 Nm (339 lb-ft) of torque at 1,600-2,600 rpm paired to a five-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Range Select (ERS). The diesel engine can be also equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox. Also available on the new special-edition model is the new 3.6-liter V-6 petrol engine delivering 209 kW (284 hp DIN) at 6,350 rpm and 347 Nm (256 lb-ft) of torque at 4,300 rpm. The 3.6-liter petrol engine is matched to the five-speed automatic transmission with ERS.
Engineered to master the most challenging off-road tracks, Jeep Wrangler Mountain features an enhanced Dana 30 front axle and enhanced Dana 44 rear axle. Legendary Jeep off-road capability is achieved through the standard Command-Trac® NV241 part-time, two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio.
The equipment for the driver’s and passengers’ on-board comfort offers a leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated controls, Dual Top configuration (i.e. the possibility to have both the soft and hard top options), Uconnect multi-media infotainment and new Winter & Sound Group package, including front heated seats and 368-watt, six-speaker Infinity audio system.
