Jeep Wrangler Wins SUV of the Year Award

The first word that comes to mind when we think about the Jeep Wrangler is unstoppable. For seventy years, the Jeep brand had been rolling Wrangler models off their production lines catering to the adventurous spirit lying inside American hearts. Each and every year, the Wrangler is taken to new heights with even more off-roading capabilities, on-road comfort, in-cabin technology. It's no wonder that MotorTrend has named the Wrangler the SUV of the Year! Take one look at the 2019 model and you'll see right away why this SUV was crowned the winner! The iconic design that has stuck around since the beginning blends masterfully with the demands of the population today from comfort to tech, creating a unique SUV that can traverse the world both on and off the road. No matter where your adventure takes you, the Wrangler is ready! 

Why did MotorTrend pick the Wrangler you ask? Well its simple, the Wrangler delivers in every single department from safety features to off-roading capabilities and everywhere in between. 

Let's start with the body styles, if you seek a historically inspired Jeep, you can opt for the two-door, four-passenger Wrangler. If you need more room for friends and family, check out the four-door, five-passenger Wrangler Unlimited. In addition to body style, there are outstanding trim levels to choose from that offer a range of capabilities and features. The exterior stays true to the Wrangler heritage with features like round headlamps and the seven-slot grille front and center! A new feature for the 2019 model year, the available Sky One-Touch Power Top can bring the outdoors in with just the touch of a button! 

The cabin of the Wrangler houses state of the art technology and connectivity thanks to features like Jeep's Uconnect infotainment system and even smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. High-quality materials and the utmost attention to detail make the Wrangler a pleasant place for commutes and adventures alike! In the 2019 model year, there is more storage, more visibility, and more comfort than ever before. The front seat design delivers maximum comfort support while open-air features let you leave the roof and doors behind so you can feel the breeze in your hair and the sun on your skin! Rugged details like rubber material around controls, grab handles, and one-way drain valves in the floor make this a beast on the trails! Plus, there are over 75 safety and security features to have your back on or off the road. 

Of course, we can't pass up talking about the Wrangler's capabilities, the heart of the machine. The 2019 Wrangler is the most capable Wrangler ever created. Throughout the trim levels, there are a total of three 4x4 systems available -- Selec-Trac, Command-Trac, and Rock-Trac -- underbody protection skid plates, bigger brakes, available 33-inch tires, stronger axles tubes and more! Each Wrangler is also stamped with the Trail-Rated approval badge which means it has been put to the test in situations that call for stellar maneuverability, traction to handle unpredictable driving conditions, axle articulation for maximum flexibility, water fording, and ground clearance to clear obstacles! 

Behind the power of the Wrangler are two fantastic engine options! Up first we have the 3.6L V6 from Pentastar. This engine pumps out 285 hp and 360 lb-ft of torque, delivering up to 25 mpg on the highway and towing up to 3,500 pounds! The second option is a 2.0L turbo direct-injection engine that enhanced performance and fuel efficiency. This engine cranks out 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, delivers up to 25 mpg on the highway as well and can also tow up to 3,500 pounds! A six-speed manual transmission is the standard match to the V6 while an eight-speed automatic is standard for the Turbo option. The eight-speed automatic is also available for the V6 engine. 

All of these great features, engine options, and capabilities make it easy to see why the 2019 Jeep Wrangler was named the MotorTrend SUV of the Year! Want to climb behind the wheel of your very own Wrangler? Check out our inventory right here!
