2007 Jeep Wrangler JK Auto Show Photo

The all-new third-generation Jeep Wrangler will have a new look for 2007 and a host of significant upgrades to make it more livable day-to-day, especially when driven on pavement. But that doesn't mean it won't stay Jeep's No. 1 trail vehicle. The little Jeep will keep the use of a heavy-duty low-range transfer case option and electronically disconnectable swaybars for super flexibility over rough terrain. The JK (Jeep's internal code name) will keep its two live axles and flexible coil spring configuration, but will have a longer wheelbase and wider stance. Only offered in two-door configuration (for now--stay tuned for New York Auto Show coverage in April), the rear bench seat will have a flip-and-fold feature that will give the compact SUV, midsize storage volume in the cargo hold. Additionally, Jeep engineers found a small cubby of space under the rear floor to offer a hidden storage area, large enough for various safety gear or tools. Of special note is the reconfigurable hardtop roof option that allows drivers to let some, all, or none of the outside weather into the cab. The front windshield will continue to allow for fold-flat-against-the-hood capability for instant outdoor connection. Under the hood, Jeep is using 3.8-liter/205-hp V-6 that will offer more horsepower, torque, and fuel economy than the well-traveled straight-six its replacing, but if your looking for even more power, we're told the 4.7-liter V-8 will fit in the engine bay with ease. The V-6 will offer a four-speed auto or six-speed manual transmission options. Look for '07 model Wranglers to make it into dealers by summer with a starting price, we're predicting, around $22K.
