34.8 / 29.2 / 26.2 760mm Many an SUV with off-road pretensions requires a near-stopped gentle nudge over some of the surface changes the Wrangler took in its stride. Wheels rising and falling like a Baja racer as the body stayed fairly level, although with its share of bobbing and a few yaw corrections required. The naturally aspirated V6 doesn’t pack the same punch down low as you might get from a diesel engine, but with 209kW at 6400rpm and 347Nm at 4100rpm outputs are still decent. Jeep suggests it’ll hit 100km/h in 7.5 seconds, but to be honest that feels ambitious. Hit the accelerator hard and the nose rises, but beyond a particular point the engine segues from making things faster to making things noisier. Better to find that happy mid-range and work with what it has in general duties.
