The vehicles with classic designs have always managed to steal the hearts of most sceptics. Many people believe that the beauty and style, which is almost synonymous with vintage vehicles, with a classical design cannot be found anywhere else, especially in the modern automobile industry. Though such remarks might sound a bit too nostalgic and over the top, they are probably true to a great extent. The designs of today’s cars, though contemporary and sophisticated, do not have any distinctiveness about them. Then there are the others, who believe that vehicles that boast of classic designs are not really strong in build quality, and can really not handle the rough terrains or a little bit of the mountainside.
Some of the greatest vehicles of all times are now found only in museums or vintage car shows. Of course, there are big powerful cars available in the market today that are capable of getting an individual almost any place where a semblance of a road exists; almost all of them lack the epic style that their predecessors possessed. People often say and rightfully so, that they do not make cars like that anymore. But then, they have probably not heard of the new Jeep Wrangler yet.
The Jeep Wrangler
The Jeep Wrangler is a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV), a 4WD (four wheel drive), engineered by Chrysler under its “Jeep” banner. This fourth generation vehicle comes from the popular Jeep family, which includes the famous World War 2 Jeep Vehicle. The wrangler was first designed and manufactured in the year 1987. Over the years, it went through two major revisions. Quite amazingly, the Jeep Wrangler of today manages to retain the charm and classic style of the franchise, while still being an excellent champion on and off the roads.
The Jeep Wrangler comes with alloy wheels, which allow for all terrain adventures. The vehicle itself features an open air design that compliments ‘off-road experience.’ With the ability to completely do away with the roof when not needed, this vehicle is a good example of utility with style. Like any off-roading vehicle should, the Jeep Wrangler too boasts of interiors that are exceptionally durable, and yet well-designed and stylish. It even has great ground clearance. The best part about the vehicle is that there is no compromise on safety or utility that is often seen in other vehicles of its cadre.
The Wrangler is comprised of two 4WD systems, which they call Command-Trac and the Rock-Trac. With over 70 years of unparalleled craftsmanship, the designers of this Sports Utility
Vehicle have truly outdone themselves.
Conclusion
The Jeep Wrangler is one of the best 4WD vehicles available in the market today. While most of the other vehicles that are available today either boast of style or utility, the
Jeep Wrangler not only manages to offer both, but it also redefines the concepts of style and ability. This vehicle has become one of the best examples of what excellent design and engineering can achieve.
