Jeep has unveiled the first-ever four-door Wrangler at 2006 the New York International Auto Show. Featuring a one-of-a-kind, four-door open-air design, the Wrangler Unlimited expands the Jeep experience to new dimensions. The Unlimited has room for five adult passengers - a Wrangler first - the most cargo space ever offered in a Wrangler and combines class-leading off-road capability with everyday practicality. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited grows to mid-size SUV proportions, offering even more comfort and space, even more versatility, even more open-air options, even more off-road capability, even more on-road refinement, even more convenience and safety features, and even more power and fuel efficiency. “Combining four-door convenience with Wrangler’s unique open-air design and unmatched off-road capability, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the only four-door convertible on the market,” said George Murphy, Senior Vice President - Global Brand Marketing, Chrysler Group. Wrangler Unlimited expands the Jeep experience and core values - freedom, adventure, mastery and authenticity - to a broader range of customers who always wanted a Wrangler, but also more space and versatility.” The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features a 2946 mm wheelbase, achieved by adding 523 mm to the standard all-new 2007 Wrangler’s 2423mm wheelbase. The additional length allows for a larger rear seat that features three seating positions, as well as more hip, leg and shoulder room. In addition, Wrangler Unlimited offers nearly triple the rear cargo space. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited utilises the same five-link solid-axle suspension configuration as the standard 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited also retains Wrangler’s coveted removable full-framed or half doors, exposed hinges, fold-down windshield and innovative removable and convertible tops. Jeep® is planning an even greater presence in Australia in 2006 with two all-new models arriving; the fire-breathing, high performance Grand Cherokee SRT8, one of the fastest four-wheel drives in the world, arrives in the fourth quarter and the seven-seat Jeep Commander joins the fold in May. Even more space, comfort and versatilityWhile maintaining its legendary off-road capability, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features a spacious interior that takes comfort and convenience to new lengths. Its 2.91 cu. metres of total interior space provides room for five adult passengers and delivers more cargo storage and seating configurations than ever before. “No other vehicle in the world can replicate the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s unique combination of best-in-class off-road capability, open-air fun and everyday convenience and versatility,” said Mike Donoughe, Vice President - Body-on-frame Product Team. “Whether it’s used as a daily driver or for extreme rock crawling, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has the ability to turn mountains into mole hills, while comfortably carrying passengers and gear.” Providing easy entry and exit, all four doors on the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are front-hinged, with inside and outside handles, and windows that travel all the way down. Rear doors feature exposed forged hinges, open a full 90 degrees, and provide a 67.3 cm wide opening. Rear seats split 60/40, and easily fold flat, creating 2.35 cu. metres of total storage volume. A new lockable underfloor storage area secures personal items out of sight. Identical to the standard all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features an all-new instrument panel, center stack and high-back front bucket seats. Even more open-air fun for even more passengersAn all-new, three-piece modular hardtop - Jeep’s Freedom Top™ - features three removable panels for a variety of open-air driving configurations. The left- and right-front passenger panels may be stored inside the vehicle, while the rear section can remain in place or be removed separately. “Whether removing one of the Freedom Top panels or flipping back the Sunrider soft top, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited provides owners the flexibility to conveniently experience open-air driving in less than 30 seconds,” said Donoughe. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited also features a standard Sunrider™ soft top, which includes a “sun roof” feature as well as the full top-down option. This soft top provides a second open-air option by folding the soft top back completely over the first- and second-row occupants, creating a 139.7x152.4 cm sun roof opening. ---- Legendary off-road capabilityEven with the additional 523 mm wheelbase length, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited achieves off-road leadership among all SUVs in its class. Superior ground clearance combined with short front and rear overhangs enable Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to navigate the most rigorous off-road trails. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features a best-in-class approach angle of 44.4 degrees, breakover angle of 20.8 degrees, and best-in-class 40.5 degree departure angle - all more than worthy of negotiating extreme obstacles. Additionally, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers an available electronic-disconnecting front stabiliser bar - Active Sway Bar System (ASBS) - delivering a 28 per cent increase in wheel travel. “A long list of proven 4x4 hardware - essential components among off-road enthusiasts - underscores the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s off-road capabilities,” said Donoughe. “From beefy axles and heavy-duty transfer cases with low gear ratios to locking differentials, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has more mettle than any other vehicle, and more than enough to conquer a variety of off-road challenges, right out of the box.” Providing armor for the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s underbody components are three skid plates - protecting the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan. Even more on-road refinementThe all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features an even more refined on-road experience courtesy of its 2946 mm wheelbase, all-new 100 per cent stiffer frame, 50 per cent stiffer body and refined five-link coil suspension. In addition, new steering and suspension geometry provides precise ride and handling characteristics, while new sound-deadening techniques reduce cabin noise by more than 20 per cent. Ride balance in the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited achieves minimal body lean when cornering and braking due to the five-link coil suspension’s new upper and lower control arms and full-width forged-steel track bars. Also, lower suspension spring rates provide a softer, more comfortable on-road ride. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s new recirculating-ball steering configuration features a robust cross-car steering linkage system, providing the stiffest possible steering linkage in a solid-axle vehicle. A decreased scrub radius significantly reduces steering wheel inputs, such as bump steer from uneven road surfaces. Standard on the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which aids the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability in severe driving maneuvers on any type of surface. ESP features three modes - “full on”, “full off” and “partial on”. Even more powerful and fuel-efficient engineNew on all 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited models is a 3.8-litre overhead valve V6 engine, with 205 HP - producing more power and torque than its predecessor with improved fuel economy. A standard six-speed manual transmission or an available four-speed automatic transmission is offered. Even more safety and security featuresLike all Jeep vehicles, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is designed to improve handling and accident avoidance, and provide protection. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited includes the highest level of safety features ever offered in the vehicle’s history in order to provide customers the ability to safely “go anywhere, do anything.” Available safety and security features in the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited include an advanced Multi-stage Air Bag System, Anti-lock-braking System, Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Seat-mounted Side Air Bags. ---- What’s New for 2007Featuring a one-of-a-kind, four-door, open-air design, the all-new 2007 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited expands the Jeep experience to new dimensions. With room for five adult passengers — a Wrangler first — and the most cargo space ever offered in a Wrangler, the Unlimited combines class-leading off-road capability with everyday practicality. “Combining four-door convenience with Wrangler’s unique open-air design and unmatched off-road capability, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the only four-door convertible on the market,” said George Murphy, Senior Vice President – Global Brand Marketing, Chrysler Group. “Wrangler Unlimited expands the Jeep experience and core values — freedom, adventure, mastery and authenticity — to a broader range of customers who always wanted a Wrangler but also more space and versatility.” The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features a 116-inch wheelbase, achieved by adding 20.6 inches to the standard all-new 2007 Wrangler’s 95.4-inch wheelbase. The additional length allows for a larger rear seat that features three seating positions, as well as more hip, leg and shoulder room. In addition, Wrangler Unlimited offers nearly triple the rear cargo space. Offered in two-wheel and four-wheel drive, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited uses the same five-link, solid-axle suspension configuration as the standard 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited also retains Wrangler’s coveted removable full-framed or half doors, exposed hinges, fold-down windshield and innovative removable and convertible tops. New ModelsAll-new 2007 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited comes in three four-door model offerings:

Safety & Security
---- Design"The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited extends Jeep design cues into a four-door, open-air proportion that is unmistakably Jeep Wrangler and unmistakably new,” said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Design, Chrysler Group. “The Wrangler Unlimited’s appearance is simple and pure yet signals a new design approach to our icon.” The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited takes on a radical four-door, open-air design with Jeep-signature design cues: classic round headlamps, seven-slot grille, trapezoidal wheel flares and exposed forged hinges merged with Wrangler Unlimited’s longer wheelbase, front-hinged rear doors, exposed B-pillar and larger sport bar – creating a stance that commands attention like no other Wrangler in its 65-year history. Several Jeep concept vehicles — the 1997 Jeep Dakar, 2004 Jeep Rescue and 2005 Jeep Gladiator — that explored the combination of added space and utility with Wrangler’s rugged off-road character, inspired the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s design. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s 20.6-inch longer wheelbase with full-framed or half rear doors is encompassed by taut lines, sharp angles and flat surfaces. The result is a design that is simple, strong and purpose-built, giving Wrangler Unlimited a military quality: upright and rugged, and imposing without being intimidating. ---- Engineering“No other vehicle in the world can replicate the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s unique combination of best-in-class off-road capability, open-air fun and everyday convenience and versatility,” said Mike Donoughe, Vice President – Body-on-frame Product Team. “Whether it’s used as a daily driver or for extreme rock crawling, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has the ability to turn mountains into molehills while comfortably carrying passengers and gear.” An all-new, three-piece modular hardtop — Jeep’s Freedom Top™ — system features three panels — left and right front-passenger panels and a rear panel — providing more options for open-air driving in the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Also available is the innovative Sunrider™ soft top, which includes a “sun roof” in addition to the full top-down option. A new 3.8-liter, overhead-valve V-6 engine is featured on all 2007 Jeep Wrangler models. With 205 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission or an available four-speed automatic transmission. While maintaining its legendary off-road capability, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features a spacious interior that takes comfort and convenience to new lengths. The vehicle’s 102.9 cu. ft. of interior space provides room for five adult passengers and delivers more cargo storage and seating configurations than ever before. Providing easy entry and exit, all four doors on the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are front-hinged, with inside and outside handles, and windows that travel completely down. Rear doors feature exposed forged hinges, open a full 90 degrees, and provide a 30.5-inch-wide opening. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers rear-seat passengers a 33-inch front-to-rear couple distance and 37.2 inches of legroom. Rear seats split 60/40 and easily fold flat, creating 83 cu. ft. of total storage volume. With rear seats in the upright position, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features 46.4 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the rear seats, providing more cargo space than the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2006 Hummer H3 and 2006 Nissan Xterra. A new under-floor storage area secures personal items out of sight. Even with the additional 20.6-inch wheelbase length, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited achieves off-road leadership among all sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) in its class. Superior ground clearance combined with short front and rear overhangs enable Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to navigate the most rigorous off-road trails. The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited features a best-in-class approach angle of 44.4 degrees, breakover angle of 20.8 degrees and best-in-class 40.5-degree departure angle — all more than worthy of negotiating extreme obstacles. Additionally, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers an available electronic-disconnecting front stabilizer bar — Active Sway Bar System — delivering a 28 percent increase in wheel travel. The highly capable underpinnings of Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X and Sahara models include an enhanced Dana 30 front axle and Dana 44 rear axle — each featuring larger pinion shafts, pinion bearings and axle joints for increased durability compared with its predecessor. Engineered to take on the most demanding trails, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon® model features enhanced heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles, which also feature larger pinion shafts, pinion bearings and axle joints.

5 comments: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited I can’t wait until I get mine. I have it on order right now. Just a couple of weeks left. I have a 2000 Wrangler now. I test drove this a couple of weeks ago and it is a lot smother then the one I have now. My wife even likes it and as a plus, it’s still a Jeep....
I trade in my 04 SE Wrangler for the new 07 4 dr unlimited and speaking from the heart is the best deal I ever made in my entire live. This baby is a Hollywood Star.
This is Sir Jeep, the almost 11-year old again. You somehow find a way to make this seem like a good idea. The idea of a mid-size Wrangler defeats it’s purpose. This is what ruined Hummer’s off-road ability: the behemoths with that ability.
