Jeep Rubicon
This is the first time in the Wrangler's 34-year history that it is
being manufactured outside of the United States, but more
importantly, this locally constructed version benefits from far
lower taxes than an imported one. The Wrangler's price has
dropped from Rs 63.9 lakh to Rs 53.9 lakh for the Unlimited
and from Rs 69.3 lakh to Rs 57.9 lakh for the Rubicon, thanks
to considerable customs duty savings.
Nothing says freedom like cruising down a beach trail in a Jeep
Wrangler Rubicon with the top down and excitement just
around the curve. The classic off-roader has a traditional
exterior design that pays respect to the rugged Jeeps of WWII,
but it's also loaded with modern features like touchscreen
infotainment, cruise control, and an eight-speaker audio.  This is the first time in the Wrangler's 34-year history that it is
being manufactured outside of the United States, but more
importantly, this locally constructed version benefits from far
lower taxes than an imported one. The Wrangler's price has
dropped from Rs 63.9 lakh to Rs 53.9 lakh for the Unlimited
and from Rs 69.3 lakh to Rs 57.9 lakh for the Rubicon, thanks
to considerable customs duty savings.
It has a substantially deeper 4:1 crawl ratio (the standard
Unlimited variant has a higher 2.72:1) and electrically locking
front and rear differentials to crawl past anything. The ability
to electronically disengage the anti-roll bar (or sway bar, in
Jeep language) with the push of a button is also unique to the
Rubicon model, allowing for even more axle mobility over
larger obstacles. The wheels and tyres are the only significant
variations between the Unlimited and Rubicon models. All of
this is critical for driving in the sand without getting bogged.
The engine in this Rubicon produces 268 bhp at 5150 rpm and
400 Nm at 3000 rpm of maximum power and torque,
respectively. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon gets an automatic
transmission that takes care of putting all that power down to
the road. The Rubicon has enough power to tackle any terrain,
and this off-roader is a tonne of fun on and off the road.
