Jeep News: Spying: Our First Look At The Next Wrangler's Interior

[William Maley]

We know a fair amount of what's in store for the next-generation Jeep Wrangler,

• Use aluminum for various body panels
• Turbocharged four-cylinder
• Eight-Speed Automatic
• Pickup Variant

Another piece of the Wrangler puzzle has been revealed thanks to a spy photographer who got pictures of the interior, minus the camouflage.

The pictures reveal that next-generation Wrangler will retain the shallow, vertical dashboard that has been a key part of the model since the early days of Jeep. FCA's UConnect system is here, along with a dual-zone climate control system - leading us to believe this mule is one of the higher trim models. Other details to take note is a “sway bar” button (most likely for a disconnecting sway bar system seen on the Ram 2500 Power Wagon), window switches on the center stack (removable doors are still a go), and a manual transmission.

Meh, cool in a small way, but so many other off road capable SUVs to consider. Guess if you're not a trail nut, and younger than 50 this will for sure sell well to those that can afford it.
