Jeep Wrangler becomes more capable both on- and off-road for 2012, courtesy of an all-new, more fuel efficient and more powerful 3.6-liter V-6 engine, and a new five-speed automatic transmission.
The all-new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and five-speed automatic transmission dramatically enhance Wrangler's on-road driving performance -- delivering up to 21 miles per gallon, 40 percent more power and 10 percent more torque -- while also taking the vehicle's legendary off-road capability to a new level.
Chrysler Group's 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine (winner of the prestigious Ward's 10 Best Engines award) delivers 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, with greater fuel efficiency. Additionally, for refined shifting and greater performance, the Jeep Wrangler migrates from a four-speed to a new five-speed automatic transmission. The 2012 Jeep Wrangler also features the company's first application of a manual transmission to the Pentastar V-6.
The 2012 Jeep Wrangler delivers unmatched off-road capability with legendary four-wheel drive. Wrangler offers a body-on-frame design, front and rear five-link suspension system, live axles, and electronic lockers.
Jeep Wrangler is now available with more axle gear ratios allowing customers to optimize fuel economy and/or vehicle capability. Wrangler is available with 3.21, 3.73 or 4.10 ratios depending on model.
A best-in-class approach angle of 44.6 degrees, breakover angle of 25.5 degrees and best-in-class departure angle of 40.6 degrees, helps the Jeep Wrangler scale the toughest terrain.
