Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

There’s no other vehicle on the road today that’s quite like the Jeep Wrangler. Blessed with top-notch off-road-capabilities and one-of-a-kind looks, the Wrangler is the go-to vehicle for people who don’t mind traveling off the beaten path in search of a new adventure. The Jeep Wrangler has also earned numerous industry accolades, including a KBB.com 5-Year Cost-to-Own Award and it won the SEMA Award for Hottest 4×4 SUV seven consecutive times. In addition, the Wrangler has a reputation for maintaining strong resale values and the 2017 model starts for less $24,000.

What’s new for the 2017 Jeep Wrangler?

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is expected to introduce a new-generation Jeep Wrangler for the 2018 model year, so the 2017 Wrangler carries over relatively unchanged from the previous version. One notable update is the availability of LED headlamps and foglights, which should please the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) because that organization recently published a report saying that many new vehicles actually come with inadequate lighting.

The 2017 Wrangler stays loyal to the distinctive design that’s made it one of Jeep’s top-selling vehicles for so many years. Everything from the seven-slot grille to its squared silhouette is unlike anything else you’ll come across whether in the city or out on the highway. However, it’s in off-road situations where the Wrangler really shines, which is why the 2017 model comes standard with tow hooks, skid plates, and 16-inch steel wheels. Buyers who are looking to stay in the city can also add unique 18-inch alloy wheels, as well as distinctive LED lighting. Moreover, exterior color options for the ‘17 Wrangler include Firecracker Red Clear Coat, Hypergreen Clear Coat, and Billet Silver Metallic Clear Coat.
