The 2019 Jeep Wrangler has officially gone on sale in India, priced at Rs. 63.94 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The new-gen Wrangler will be available only in the 5-door Wrangler Unlimited version. The new-gen Jeep Wrangler SUV will be sold in India as a (completely built unit) model. Design-wise, the off-road SUV comes with the same butch and boxy silhouette that is signature to the Wrangler, with new modern elements. So, upfront, the SUV gets the iconic seven-slot grille flanked by classic round headlamps with LED units. Both SUVs get new ORVM's with integrated turn signal lights and new tail-lamps and a stylish set of alloy wheels offered in both 17- to 18-inch formats, in multiple design options. In all the test mules we have seen so far, the 3-door Wrangler SUV comes with a hardtop, with fixed glass on either side instead of rear windows, while the Wrangler Unlimited gets a set of rear doors, and extended boot space.
