Jeep, the legendary off-road and sports utility vehicle, is back again with a new addition.
After observing the wide acceptance of the Wrangler in the Nigerian auto market, Weststar Associates Limited, the Authorised General Distributor of Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram in Nigeria, now debuts the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
Mirko Plath, the Managing Director and CEO of Weststar Associates, is convinced that the Rubicon will prove to be a “big hit” among the lovers of the acclaimed SUV.
The 2014 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited is a model of the Iconic, rugged Jeep – a popular American automobile brand division of Chrysler Group LLC, now a subsidiary of the Italian multinational automaker – Fiat SPA.
Easily identifiable by its fender flares, symbolic seven-slot grille and 17-inch polished mineral grey wheels, the Wrangler is stylish, fun and offers maximum comfort even whilst tackling rough terrains.
The four-door Rubicon Unlimited version, which is designed in premium leather seats, offers notable features like the monotube shock absorbers that have low speed tuneable valve technology that is firm on the rocks and relaxed at higher speeds.
It also features standard Dana 44 front and rear axles, which are equipped with Tru-Lok locking differentials and offer the ultimate in traction.
In addition, the Rubicon has elevated height for better ground clearance – suitable for the Nigerian roads and the front axle sway bar disconnect allows for better articulation off-road.
The Wrangler Rubicon can be appreciated for its weather-resistant surfaces and its courtesy interior lights, which illuminate the front footwells.
Like all other Wranglers, the Rubicon is fortified with standard safety and security features.
Besides advanced multistage front airbags which help provide occupant protection by matching airbag output to impact severity, there are also side-supplemental airbags with sensor detection.
Hill Descent Control helps monitor throttle, speed and braking when travelling downhill, and the Hill Start Assist keeps your brakes applied for a short time after you’ve removed your foot from the brake to give you time to accelerate without rollback.
Inclusive are on-road four wheel disc Antilock Brake System and Brake Assist.
