The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most preferred car worldwide for off road sports. Many people especially in the United States of America have treasured the off road ventures they undertake using the jeep models. These cars possesses the ultimate strength and endurance for off road adventures and sports. However the 2011 Jeep Wrangler did not satisfy the people’s expectations since it lacked speed and consumed a lot of fuel. The capability and strength of the of this ultra modern machine is expected to improve from this year’s model though the move is coming way too late. Chrysler has announced that they have given the go ahead, for their engine model to be installed on the jeep.
The 2011 Jeep Wrangler has been operating on a 3.8 Liter V6 engine. This engine has been operating with a four speed automatic transmission. Makers of the 2012 Jeep Wrangler have promised to change quite a number of features to improve the previous version. For example, they have promised to install another engine.
Chrysler’s 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 engine will replace the former engine. This new engine is expected to come with a five speed automatic transmission. The new engine will also run at 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet. Compared to the previous model this is a substantial increase in power though not the best.

The most important benefit that is expected from this modification is off course the lower consumption. The consumption of the engine will be a little less. The previous model was consuming approximately one gallon for every 15 miles.

The new engine is expected to be more economical by consuming one gallon for every 16 miles. These facts have been issued by the manufacturer’s themselves and this means that the new engine has actually already been tested in a jeep model. It was tested with the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2011 and it performed fairly well.
The exterior of the 2012 Jeep Wrangler is also expected to change though slightly. This time round there will be two variants based on the number of doors. There will be the two-door model which will have two seats only. Then there will be the four door model which will also have seats.

Other improvements or modifications expected include the addition of an air bag one side of the door for extra safety, the introduction of a stability control mechanism to ensure the vehicle’s stability is increased as well as the improved anti-lock disc brakes that will offer a better braking system especially during emergencies.



Many of the people who use the jeep often find it very aggressive off the road but have always complained that it is a rather slow vehicle on the road. There will be some changes when this modified machine is rolled out of the warehouse for them. Due to the lightness of the new engine and the increased horsepower the 2012 Jeep Wrangler model offers more open road fun to the drivers. They should be eager for the launch of this model so that they can have a feel for themselves.

You can't tell by looking at it, but the Jeep Wrangler has undergone a transformation. The iconic shape remains -- seven-slot grille, round headlights, short wheelbase, soft or hard top -- but Jeep has made huge improvements to the off-roader for 2012. Jeep invited us to drive the 2012 Wrangler on the Rubicon, one of the hardest 4x4 trails around, used almost exclusively by modified vehicles. We also got to drive on the two-lane asphalt roads that wind around Lake Tahoe.

Consider this the second part of a major overhaul to the Wrangler and four-door Wrangler Unlimited. Part one happened for the 2011 model year, when the JK (the current generation's code name) received a new interior, plus, on the Sahara, a body-color hard top and fender flares. The hard top is of the same composite material as it was before, but what sounds like a minor change actually has a major effect on the Wrangler's appearance. In addition, the rear windows are larger as of 2011, improving visibility. For 2012, the body-color hard top and fender flares are optional on the Rubicon, too

Inside, welcome 2011 revisions include the use of higher-quality materials; the redesigned center stack; an all-new instrument panel; and strategically applied sound insulation that makes this the quietest Wrangler ever. Some creature comforts never seen here before -- seat heaters, power heated mirrors, and redundant steering wheel controls -- make this the most refined Wrangler cabin ever.

For part two: Prior to the 2012 model year, Jeep knew the Wrangler would get the Pentastar engine, even if the company didn't make an official announcement. The pairing makes perfect sense: more horsepower, more torque, and better fuel economy. The previous iron-block 3.8-liter V-6 put out 202 horsepower and 237 lb-ft; the all-aluminum Pentastar has 285 horses and 260 lb-ft. And, while the six-speed manual returns unchanged, the four-speed automatic has been ditched in favor of the Grand Cherokee's five-speed. All the rest of the major mechanical features (axles, suspension, steering, brakes), the body, dimensions, and structure are essentially carryover.

We started out on-road, driving to the Loon Lake trailhead from Squaw Valley, in the Sierra Nevadas. The route included elevation changes and sudden large openings in traffic that gave us opportunities to test out the Pentastar's acceleration. While this combination would've highlighted the weaknesses of the previous engine (universally considered a dog), the 3.6-liter V-6 shone.

Last year, the funslayers at Consumer Reports proclaimed the Jeep Wrangler the worst vehicle for sale in America, even over the Smart ForTwo. Noisy! Harsh! Vibrate-y! — which, to Jeep enthusiasts, are features, not bugs. But the funslayers have a point.

Since it came home from World War II and began civilian life as a glorified farm implement, the Wrangler has lured thousands of buyers promising a jamboree of toughness, only to reward them with the on-road manners of a surly mule and the durability of a box of pinot grigio at a Josh Groban concert.
After Fiat saved Chrysler from its death wobble, the Jeep has undergone an inside-out transformation meant to address its faults among the Philistines, leading to this: a Wrangler with more standard horsepower than a Nissan 350Z sported just five years ago.

True Wrangler acolytes embrace changes with the giddy enthusiasm of Popes. Fans have never stopped mourning the death of the antique AMC 4-liter inline six motor, and with reason; The advent of the 3.8-liter V6 in 2007 with the heavier JK chassis and its cranky four-speed automatic transmission dragooned from Mopar minivans left Wranglers feeling as if forward motion came from a hundred junebugs bridled to the front tow hooks.

The new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, now the go-to power for all things Chrysler, sports 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, weighs 90 pounds less that the boat-anchor 3.8. Changes for Wrangler duty include new intakes, exhaust and an alternator that will give mechanics a "hey, lookit" moment: To ensure the engine could survive the Wrangler plowing into 30 inches of water, the alternator was not only raised but reversed, with its pulley facing the block. Behind it is Chrysler's five-speed automatic transmission, the one 80% of buyers will take, along with the carryover six-speed manual for those who want to keep the mule whip in their hands.

On pavement, the Wrangler now gallops to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds — a full three seconds faster than the previous edition. Combined with last year's extreme interior improvements and some additional soundproofing, no longer does driving a Wrangler on a freeway resemble marshaling mountain goats through a windstorm. There's still more noise than a family sedan, and the Bridgestones' chatter comes through the floor, but it's at a dinner-table level, not "Bad Girls Club." The five-speed plays well with the V6, blipping the throttle before downshifts and letting it brush redline under a full boot.

The steering still remains more truck than car, but the suspension doesn't attempt to exhaust passengers with urgent updates about road seams; it also tracks towards just slight understeer. The weakest link is the brakes; soft as a deep-fried butter stick, you find the pedal down a few inches before the orders arrive to the wheels.

But Jeep purists want to know about going slow, which is how I ended up in a Wrangler Rubicon on a clear-cut hillside in Oregon's Tillamook forest with my nose closer to zenith than the horizon and wheels spinning on rocks the size of garden gnomes. Those of us who like cars attached to the ground aren't used to windshields of nothing but blue sky, and a few days of journosaur trampling had left the trail with a slick coat of dust.

It's situations like this where the utter genius of Jeep engineering kicks in. At 2,000 rpm, the new 3.6 is pumping 96% of its total torque. Thanks to the extra lubed ring in the five-speed gearbox, a 2012 Jeep with the standard 3.73 rear axle sports a better crawl ratio — the measure of how that torque is multiplied through the axles to the rocks — than last year's Rubicon with the heavy-duty 4.10 axle. With the front sway bars electronically disconnected, the catawampus tires simply took an extra swig from the accelerator and moved on. Yes, the track was arranged by Jeep for Jeep — but few vehicles can survive crawling through holes large enough to swallow a Smart.

The good news on prices is that Chrysler held the base sticker at par with the old model, around $22,000. The bad news is that fully loaded varieties quickly ascend to heights of $34,000, and since Chrysler is setting sales records for Jeep Wranglers and struggling to keep up with demand, there's no plans to either adapt the four-cylinder diesel those sooty Europeans get or build a pickup truck at the factory.

By taming its on-road manners while preserving its off-road skills, Chrysler has finally made the Wrangler a truck that people can live with, not in spite of. After seven decades of hauling everything from farm implements to Daisy Duke, the 2012 Jeep Wrangler is the most capable ever.


The new engine offers excellent response and a noticeable improvement in power -- the Pentastar is significantly faster from a stop and when passing. Also, the engine sounds much more upscale than the coarse 3.8-liter, and the exhaust note is throatier. Paired with either transmission, it feels much more refined. Where the 3.8 feels pokey, the 3.6-liter actually makes the JK feel spry. Jeep estimates that the new engine reduces 0-60 times by 2-3 seconds with either transmission, and when we took a Wrangler Sport manual to the track, we confirmed this estimate. The new Jeep hit 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, while all of the 3.8-liter Wranglers took between 9.8 and 10.2 seconds.


review. Did you know that Jeep is one of the models of the oldest and most popular vehicle in the world of off-road? With a simple and powerful model, the Jeep allows to be a very good explorer car, especially in the wild world. One of the most popular brands of Jeep Wrangler Jeep today is that for many - years has provided off-road adventure with the best features. The 2012 Jeep Wrangler to come promises to deliver more power and efficiency and it's all because of the new 3.6 liter V6 Chrysler Pentastar.

This new engine will replace the 3.8-liter V6 engine the former, and it will be a major selling point of the new Wrangler. The car also will be equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission, four-speed automatic transmission replacing the former. But many people who assume that the 5-speed transmission is considered to be late compared with other car manufacturers who have designed the engine up to 7 or 8-speed automatic transmission.

Tedd Goyer, Jeep spokesman, said that the Pentastar engine will be standard engine for all cars produced by Chrysler that would come and that the four-speed automatic transmission will be replaced with a five-speed automatic. Machine will also help to improve fuel economy ratings of cars. With Pentastar, assessments will increase to 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. If you are lover a jeep, then you must expect that this change will make the engine performance and effectiveness of fuel to be better than previous models.

In 2012, the Jeep Wrangler will provide two models of the body. The first model is the body of the usual model with two seats and two doors. While the second model is a model of an extended body that can includes four passengers and has four doors. All models will be equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine Pentastar, and will be equipped with four-wheel drive layout engine. Rubicon models will display the transfer case manufactured by Rock-trac and additional-low gear to maintain the stability of the acceleration in rough terrain. Sahara model will come with 17 inch tires, sport tuned suspension and premium upholstered seats. Optional features include 18-inch tires and a GPS


With 24 years of history, the Jeep Wrangler has become one of the most successful models in the Jeep line-up. Currently in its third generation (JK starting 2007), the Wrangler is about to receive one of the most important updates for the 2012 model year.

Up until now, the Wrangler was powered by a 3.8-liter V-6 engine that delivered a total of 202 HP and 237 ft-lb of torque. This engine wasn’t bad, but it lacked the power needed for the Wrangler to really flex its muscles during those off-road activities. In 2012, that will all change as the boring V6 engine has been dropped on favor of a new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that delivers a total of 290 HP and a peak torque of 237 lbs-ft.

The 2012 Wrangler hasn’t been announced by Jeep just yet, but a Georgia based dealer has already placed a Rubicon version on sale on eBay for a price of $35,628.

This is the 2012 Jeep Wrangler, redesigned in perhaps the most significant area that matters--under the hood. Jeep finally dropped the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 used in the Charger, the Grand Caravan, the 300 and seemingly everything even halfway important the company makes. In simple terms, this engine is a big deal--and it has a big impact on this, the most iconic of Jeeps.

The engine makes 285 hp and 260 lb-ft in the Wrangler, easily eclipsing the 202-hp, 237-lb-ft ratings of the old 3.8-liter engine. This completes a two-year makeover that saw the interior redone for the 2011 model year, transforming the Wrangler into a rather premium entry that maintains its still affordable $22,845 base price--despite the gains in power and fuel economy. Rest easy, hard-core Jeep faithful, the Wrangler looks exactly the same as last year’s model, except for the rectangular headlights (just kidding).
