Jeep Preps New Wrangler Polar in Time for Winter

CHRYSLER GROUP LLC 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED POLAR EDITION

Winter is coming.

The Jeep Wrangler Polar is built to handle the icy conditions that come from living so far south of The Wall (or Antarctica as they call it these days). The new special edition is expected to be out before the end of month, just in time to help Jeep drivers welcome in the wintery goodness.

The Wrangler Polar certainly looks the part. The exterior is coated in an icy blue color along with black accents. It’s clear that Jeep is trying to sell an image of a winter-capable jeep with the Wrangler Polar. That ability isn’t just on the outside, however, as the Wrangler Polar is able to help its passengers fight the cold with such features as heated leather seats.

In order to deal with the winter conditions, the Wrangler Polar comes equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. This makes it capable of 285 hp and 260 ft-lbs of torque. The miles per gallon come out to 21 miles and, according to Jeep, provides the low-end torque needed for off-roading.

Also standard on the Wrangler Polar is the Standard Trac-Lok limited slip rear differential, which helps driving in severe conditions, such as icy roads.

As with most special editions of this nature, the Wrangler Polar will have a limited run. There is only 4500 models expected with this run, so if you’re interested, best to start planning ahead.

Jeep Wrangler: #ThrowbackThursday

For today’s Throwback Thursday we have a vintage 1987 to gawk at.  It is amazing how far the Jeep Wrangler has come in such short time.  I can only imagine what the next generation will look like when we look back in another ten or twenty years.

Motor Trend Takes the Jeep Wrangler on the Rubicon Trail

Untitled

Jeeps were built for the intention of conquering the terrain.  The brand started life with the intent to ensure that no field of battle was too dangerous to traverse.  Now, that has extended into civilian life as Jeeps are synonymous with tackling the great outdoors.  Anyone who gets a Jeep is someone who at some point behind the wheel will daydream themselves into a scenario involving some rocky terrain that only they can drive over.

Jonny Lieberman at Motor Trend got the chance to live out the fantasy of taking a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon out to the Rubicon Trail.  The Trail is notoriously difficult for any 4×4 to handle and Jeeps have been driving it since the 50’s to prove their prowess with difficult terrains.  Lieberman put his full experience up on YouTube for viewers to see and it’s a wonderful sight indeed:

It’s stunning to see the capability of a Jeep Wrangler that the average driver never gets to see while stuck in New York traffic.

If you’re looking to purchase a Jeep Wrangler, for driving in New York City or in the great outdoors, contact a sales rep at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge for more information.  The dealership operates in Bayside Queens area of New York and has quality sales reps to help you drive away in the new or used car that suits your lifestyle.
