Off-road enthusiasts in the United States are in for a treat as the most powerful Wrangler goes on sale. Priced from $73,500 (Rs 53.74 lakh approx), the Wrangler 392 Rubicon packs in Stellantis’ full-fledged 6.4-litre V8 petrol engine that’s capable of giving supercars sleepless nights. It costs a whopping $24,070 (Rs 17.60 lakh) more than the top-spec model, roughly equivalent to the on-road price of the new range-topping Mahindra Thar automatic!
Nevertheless, the Wrangler gets a first-mover advantage against the Ford Bronco, its closest rival, which is offered with a turbocharged V6. The Wrangler’s 6.4-litre naturally aspirated V8 motor puts out 470PS of power and 637Nm of punch. It drives all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
