Jeep celebrates 20 years of the Wrangler Rubicon

Jeep has announced that it will be launching new 20^th Anniversary editions of both the Wrangler Rubicon 4xe and Wrangler Rubicon 392 in the U.S.A, in celebration of the 20 years of the Wrangler Rubicon's legendary go-anywhere capability and unequaled spirit of freedom and adventure.

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe 20^th Anniversary is based on the Rubicon 4xe model, and offers up a total of 370bhp 637Nm from its plug-in hybrid powertrain as well as 33km of silent, all-electric driving. Special touches that set the 20^th Anniversary model apart include a redesigned seven-slot grille as well as red and black leather seats, and a red leather-wrapped instrument panel bolster.

These features come alongside special 20^th Anniversary decals on the bonnet, in an electric blue theme. The off-roader also gets a 12.7mm raised ride height, and 33-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tyres and a gorilla glass windshield.

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 20^th Anniversary edition, meanwhile, is based on the Wrangler Rubicon 392 and comes powered by a 464bhp V8 which allows it to accelerates from rest to 97km/h in 4.5 seconds, making it the quickest, fastest and most powerful Wrangler.

This Jeep also gets a redesigned seven-slot grille, although the 20^th anniversary graphics are here finished in a bronze-coloured theme. The car also gets the 12.7mm raised ride height, although this is paired with 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tyres. An on-board air compressor, triple hoop grille guard and steel bumpers from which a winch may be attached also feature on this 20^th Anniversary model.
