The 2017 Los Angeles auto show was a hotbed for new car debuts. The most important vehicle to come out of the show so far is the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Jeep is one of FCAs most profitable branches, and the Wrangler is the most iconic, brand defining Jeep. As such, there was a lot on the line for Jeep as it unveiled the new Wrangler, which hasn't seen any significant update since 2012.
Not surprisingly, the new Wrangler looks a lot like the old one--it's more evolution than revolution. That's fine, because Jeep must not alienate its loyal Wrangler fan-base. The headlights are more advanced, and creep into the classic seven-bar Jeep grille. In the rear, the traditionally boxed-off, no-nonsense rear taillights add a bit of flare, the outline of the light now has creases instead of being a perfect rectangle. Bits and pieces of the smaller Renegade are shown throughout the exterior, as Jeeps corporate styling progresses.

Under the hood there are three available choices, the same 3.6 liter Pentastar V6, 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder, and a new 3.0 liter EcoDiesel V6 arriving for the 2019 model year. The Wrangler remains current with the addition of Apple Car Play and Android Auto, as well as standard push-button start and the full suite of active safety systems.

This doesn't mean the Wrangler has been neutered, however. It boasts best ascent and departure angles, and the ability to drive though up to 30 inches of water.
It's safe to say the new Wrangler is now a more modern piece while not moving too far from what makes it great.
