Expected Prices, Features And Engines!](  If certain reports are to be believed, Jeep is planning to unveil its hardcore off-roading machine, the Wrangler in the coming month. Jeep had announced, before the arrival of the updated Compass, that it will launch 4 SUVs in India within the next 2 years. We suspect that this is the consequence of that promise. Jeep also mentioned the local assembly of the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee in India to make it price competitive. We suspect that this is what the case with the Wrangler is as well. This might be the CKD (Completely Knocked-Down) unit of the Wrangler, which will see its currently astronomical price tag come down significantly. The Wrangler is probably the most famous off-roader ever built. It has a certain heritage of ruggedness in its blood.  Jeep, planning to expand its footprint in India, understands that in order to sell the Wrangler, it needs to bring down the prices by quite some margin. As a result of this, they have strategized to assemble the SUVs in its plant in Ranjangoan. In the same way, Jeep is pondering over the possibility of bringing a compact SUV to India, which can be based on the same platform as Citroen’s upcoming compact SUV codenamed the C21. This can be planned, keeping in mind the conglomeration of FCA and PSA Groups into a new entity, the Stellantis. What happens to that is something we will soon find out. Let us keep our focus on the Wrangler.  Jeep Wrangler – Exterior and Interior The exterior of the new Jeep Wrangler can not be too different than the current model because it has always retained its iconic silhouette. On the front might be the signature seven-slat grille with chrome finish, drop-down window and rounded LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs. Down below might be a chunky bumper, housing the fog lamp unit. On the side, one might find extremely large and rugged wheel arches, with high-profile 18-inch alloys ready to take on any terrain. To give it the old-school feels, all four doors of the Wrangler can be taken off pretty effortlessly. The rear might house the LED taillamps, as well as the spare wheel, mounted on the boot door. Overall, one can expect the Wrangler to stay vintage in terms of the silhouette but also feature all the modern bits.   [Read Full Article](  [CUPRA Celebrates Its 3rd Anniversary Unveiling The Formentor With A Heart Of Five−Cylinders]( World Premiere CUPRA Formentor VZ5 The CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is equipped with a 2.5 TSI five-cylinder engine delivering 390PS and 480Nm of torque, the maximum expression of combustion performance for car enthusiasts  The CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is equipped with a 2.5 TSI five-cylinder engine delivering 390PS and 480Nm of torque, the maximum expression of combustion performance for car enthusiasts  It can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in only 4.2 seconds  High-performance 18” six piston Akebono callipers housed in exclusive CUPRA 20” alloy wheels  It delivers the ultimate combustion performance with exclusivity thanks to the limited production run of just 7,000 units  The CUPRA Formentor, the first vehicle uniquely developed for brand, is now being taken beyond limits with the World Premiere of the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 on behalf of CUPRA’s 3rd anniversary.  [Read Full Article](  You Might Like [Learn more about RevenueStripe...](    Connect with the automobile news on social media platforms [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Linkedin]( You received this email because you operate or create content for a website/service and based on your website it seemed like this could be important information to you and your users.
