2019 Jeep Wrangler

 

Not all SUVs are created equal, and MotorTrend has just declared which SUV ranks above all the rest: The 2019 Jeep Wrangler.

Named the MotorTrend SUV of the Year for 2019, the Wrangler ranked ahead of 16 contenders and nine finalists including the Subaru Forester, Ford Edge, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota RAV4, and three BMW models.

The following are some of the reasons why, according to MotorTrend, the Jeep Wrangler took the top spot this year.

 

Impeccable off-road capability

The Jeep Wrangler was already well-known as a titan of the off-roads, and the new advancements introduced in the 2019 model year only further solidified its reputation. The 2019 Jeep Wrangler in the Rubicon trim features improved articulation and total suspension travel with Dana 44 front and rear axles with electronically locking differentials and disconnecting anti-roll bars, while the cruising Sahara trim delivers full-time four-wheel drive.

 

Advanced safety

A Jeep Wrangler was made to be thrown into intense situations, whether on the road or off it, but by no means does it sacrifice driver and passenger safety for thrills. The 2019 Jeep Wrangler impressed the critics at MotorTrend with its comprehensive offering of available active safety features, such as Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and LED headlights. Hardwired into the Jeep Wrangler is superior handling and maneuverability, helping drivers to avoid accidents in the first place. But if that unavoidable crash arises, the Jeep Wrangler is constructed with high-strength steel and includes seat-mounted front side airbags for increased rider protection.

 

Superior fuel economy

The baseline engine of the 2019 Jeep Wrangler is a gas-sipping 2.0-liter eTorque engine, which earns a refreshing 25 mpg on the highway.* Owners of the Jeep Wrangler will still see improvements in efficiency even if they opt for a heftier engine like the available 3.6-liter V6. Both the 2.0- and 3.6-liter engines feature start/stop technology for further fuel saving.

 

At Rothrock Motors, we always knew the 2019 Jeep Wrangler was an impressive machine, but it’s nice to see the validation of a respected and reputable publication like MotorTrend. Call us to schedule a test drive and see for yourself just why the Wrangler was so highly praised.
