From its beginnings as a go-anywhere military vehicle, the Jeep built a deserved reputation on its off-road prowess, with the Wrangler now considered by many as the essence of today's Jeep brand. However, Wrangler has always been limited by its lack of space for people and cargo. Jeep finally addresses these shortcomings with the introduction of the much-anticipated 4-door Wrangler Unlimited.
Jeep unveiled the redesigned 2007 Wrangler 2-door at the auto show in Detroit earlier this year, which features increased ground clearance, larger wheels and tires, available next-generation Command-Trac and Rock-Trac transfer cases, new electric axle lockers, and an electro-disconnecting front sway bar and an all-new stiffer frame.

The new Wrangler Unlimited gets all this and much more. The most obvious addition is indeed the two rear doors—but that's only part of the story.
More Room, More VersatilityThis is the first Wrangler to offer seating for five adults. Rear seats are quite roomy with 37.2 inches of legroom. Doors that open a full 90 degrees provide plenty of rear-seat access. Add to this a dramatic increase in available cargo space: Behind the rear seat is almost three times the cargo space of the standard Wrangler. With the rear seats folded, the available cargo space practically doubles to an impressive 83 cubic feet.

Not only does the new Wrangler Unlimited carry five passengers in relative comfort, it's designed to keep them safe as well. Safety features include front and available side airbags, ABS, Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation and Electronic Stability Program.

Seven New JeepsThe new Wrangler Unlimited is also available with Jeep's new three-piece "Freedom Top," which incorporates three removable panels—left and right front panels and one larger panel in the rear—that can be removed separately for a variety of open-air driving configurations. The standard "Sunrider" soft-top also features a number of configurations and makes open-air motoring just 30 seconds away. In fact, Jeep claims this new Wrangler is the only 4-door convertible currently available in the U.S. market.
To further enhance that open-air feeling, Wrangler Unlimited is available with removable full-frame or half doors, as well as a fold-down windshield.
Even with the addition of rear doors and a wheelbase more than 20 inches longer than the standard Wrangler, the Unlimited still retains that iconic Wrangler look. Inspiration came from a number of concept vehicles, including the 1997 Jeep Dakar, which was a first take on a 4-door Wrangler.
"The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited extends Jeep design cues into a four-door, open-air form that is unmistakably Jeep Wrangler and unmistakably new," said Trevor Creed, senior vice president of design. "The Wrangler Unlimited's appearance is simple and pure, yet signals a new design approach to this familiar icon. Every angle reflects its boldly expanded posture and adventurous spirit, constructed in a head-turning silhouette that is authentic Jeep."
But while appearance is important, first and foremost, this is a Wrangler and it still retains that legendary Jeep off-road capability.
Off-Road Prowess"A long list of proven 4x4 hardware—essential components among off-road enthusiasts—underscores the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's off-road capabilities," said Mike Donoughe, vice president of the Wrangler's body-on-frame product team. "From beefy axles and heavy-duty transfer cases with low gear ratios to locking differentials, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has more mettle than any other vehicle, and more than enough to conquer a variety of off-road challenges, right out of the box," he said.
The new Wrangler Unlimited boasts an impressive approach angle of 44.4 degrees, a breakover angle of 20.8 degrees, and 40.5-degree departure angle when equipped with 17-inch wheels. Ground clearance with the same wheels is more than 10 inches. Additionally, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers an available electronic-disconnecting front stabilizer bar which provides a 28 percent increase in wheel travel.
The X and Sahara versions feature the second-generation Command-Trac part-time, two-speed transfer case, featuring a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. An optional Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential provides extra torque and grip during low-traction situations. The top-of-the-line Rubicon comes with an Off-Road Rock-Trac two-speed transfer case with a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio, as well as electric front- and rear-axle lockers, Active Sway Bar System and 32-inch B.F. Goodrich off-road tires.
Under the hood is a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 205 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque; it can be teamed with either the standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 4-speed automatic. This engine provides more power as well as better fuel economy than the 4.0-liter engine it replaces.
A diesel engine will be available in certain markets outside North America—the first time in a Wrangler.
Wrangler Unlimited will be sold in more than 100 countries throughout the world, in both left- and right-hand-drive configurations, with sales beginning in North America this fall. Available as the X, Sahara or Rubicon, pricing will be announced closer to its on-sale date.
