Jeep Wrangler 'Polar' released for winter

Available in both two and four door variants, with prices starting at $45,500*, the Wrangler Polar is powered the same award-winning 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine, with a five-speed automatic transmission, as the Wrangler Overland and Overland Premium.

Exterior upgrades to Overland that are unique to the Polar model include:
_ Exclusive body colour, Hydro (blue); also available in Billet Silver and Bright White
_ Body colour grille with black accents
_ Special edition 'Polar' bodyside badge, which exhibits the 78 S and 106 E coordinates that correspond to the location of Vostok in Antarctica: the exact point where the most severe cold temperature in the world was recorded at -89.2 C
_ Mopar Power Dome bonnet
_ Unique 18-inch polished alloy wheels with gloss black accents
_ Gloss black front and rear bumper appliqués
_ Mopar black fuel flap

Interior upgrades in addition to the Overland spec include:
_ Polar logo embroidered seatbacks (Overland Wrangler models come standard with heated, leather-trimmed seats)
_ Ceramic accent grab handle with Polar logo detail
_ Pearl accent stitching on front seats and front door armrests
_ Accent colour finish on front and rear door grab handles and vent rings

The appearance features haven't impacted on offroad ability, with the Wrangler Polar still able to tackle extreme conditions with confidence.

It has 223mm of ground clearance, 35-degree approach angle, 22-degree breakover angle and 28-degree departure angle in addition to the Command-Trac system, which delivers equal power to all four corners for optimal traction.

It can also be specified with an electronic locker for the standard Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential for tackling the most extreme trails and conditions. Bridgestone Dueler BSW 255/70R18 all-terrain tyres further enhance its off road potential.

Convenience features include Uconnect multimedia system with full-feature navigation, seven-speaker Alpine audio system, auto temperature control air-conditioning, tyre pressure monitoring display, reversing camera, and body colour fender flares and roof.

Fiat Chrysler Group President and CEO Veronica Johns said Wrangler Polar would allow Australian buyers to stand out from the crowd in all conditions.

"The special edition Polar Wrangler provides the opportunity for customers to make a statement with the genuine off-road ability that only a Wrangler can deliver," Ms Johns said.
