Jeep Wrangler Facelift India Launch On April 22

Jeep India will be launching the Wrangler facelift in India on April 22, 2024. The Wrangler facelift made its global debut at the New York Auto Show in April last year. The fourth-generation Wrangler made its debut in 2017 and the facelift comes with a slightly altered design and new features. 

Jeep Wrangler: What’s New?

With the facelift, the Wrangler gets a revised front fascia with a slightly smaller grille with thinner slats. Globally, the Wrangler facelift gets a plethora of roof and alloy wheel options, but the Indian model is expected to get soft- and hard-top roof options with 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the biggest change in the Wrangler is the addition of the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. With the bigger touchscreen, the central AC vents have moved under the touchscreen system. However, the rest of the cabin remains the same as the pre-facelift model. Other features include wireless smartphone connectivity, automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, digital instrument cluster and more. 

The Wrangler facelift also gets Uconnect 5 system that brings connected car features that include Trails Offroad guide which has 62 well-known off-road trails incorporated into the infotainment system. This is currently available on the North American-spec Wrangler and is unlikely to make it to the Indian-spec model.
