Jeep has released a new edition of the Wrangler, known as Rockslide, as part of a limited monthly release programme in the Middle East, under a programme known as 12 4 12. This programme offers a new version of the Wrangler every month, primarily in terms of design updates, retaining the model’s off-road credentials. Rockslide is part of this programme, released in March, following other models such as the Jeep Wrangler Willys 392.
What Platforms Does the Rockslide Use?
The Rockslide is built on the existing Wrangler Sahara and Rubicon platforms. These platforms have been engineered with off-road capability in mind, including four-wheel drive and good ground clearance.
Although the press release does not mention any changes to the engine, it is worth noting that the Sahara and Rubicon variants of the Wrangler are generally powered by a 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine that produces 285 BHP and 353 Nm of torque. However, there is no mention of any changes to the speed of the vehicle in the Rockslide edition, indicating that the changes are purely superficial.
What Exterior Changes Define the Rockslide?
The exterior design of the Rockslide has a revised look with a new Anvil roof and grille surround colour. This is a change from the main body colour that buyers will be able to select from the standard colours offered by Jeep for the Wrangler.
This design allows buyers to personalise the look and feel of their vehicle without changing the structure and design that Jeep has made for the Wrangler.
How Has the Interior Been Updated?
The interior design of the Rockslide model has a revised look with a new Indigo and Denim-themed interior design. This is a change from the standard colours that Jeep uses in the Wrangler and is intended to offer a unique look for buyers.
No other updates have been noted in the interior design, which suggests that this is a change in colour and material only.
What Makes This Edition Different from Previous Releases?
The main difference between this edition and previous editions is that this edition does not have any enhancements but design updates. However, this edition is similar to other editions in the Twelve 4 Twelve series, such as the Willys 392. Each edition in this series has a unique design but retains some characteristics of the Jeep Wrangler for off-road use.
This series has been designed as a series of limited editions.
