What is the Jeep Wrangler Whitecap Mojito Edition?
Jeep India has revealed the Wrangler Whitecap Mojito and opened pre-bookings. The Jeep Wrangler Whitecap Mojito Edition is a limited-run special edition of the Wrangler Rubicon SUV for the Indian market. It takes inspiration from the global Wrangler Whitecap edition model unveiled as part of Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve programme celebrating the brand’s 85th anniversary.
What exterior changes does it get?
One of the visually obvious changes is the Mojito-green exterior paint, giving the special edition a vivid, distinctive appearance, separating it from the standard models. The SUV also gets a contrasting white hardtop. The model naturally features various cosmetic details such as a “4 Wheel Drive” sticker on the bootlid and “1941” decals on the sides. The “1941” decal references the Willys MB Jeep, which was introduced in 1941 and plays a crucial part in the brand’s historical identity.
Does it get any interior updates?
The cabin largely carries over from the Wrangler Rubicon, but the special edition is reported to receive a built-in dashcam and reinforced grab handles. Beyond these changes, the interior is expected to retain the Rubicon’s existing layout and equipment.
What features does it offer?
The Wrangler Whitecap Mojito Edition is expected to retain the equipment available on the Rubicon variant, which shall include:
-
12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
-
12-way electrically adjustable front seats.
-
Advanced driver-assistance systems.
-
Six airbags.
- 12-way powered front seats
-
Dual-zone automatic climate control.
-
Nine-speaker Alpine sound system.
-
Seven-inch driver’s display.
What engine powers it?
The Jeep Wrangler Whitecap Mojito Limited Edition uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. The engine develops 270 hp at 5,250rpm and 400Nm of torque at 3,000rpm. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which transfers the power to all four wheels via a 4×4 system.
For off-road duties, the Wrangler Whitecap Mojito gets Rubicon-spec 4×4 equipment, including Rock-Trac, low-range gearing, locking front and rear differentials, a disconnecting anti-roll bar, Off-Road Plus and hill-descent control.
What is the expected price?
Jeep India has yet to disclose the price for the special edition; however, the standard Wrangler Rubicon is priced at Rs 70.8 lakh ex-showroom; expect the Whitecap Mojito Limited Edition to be priced higher, around Rs 72–74 lakh ex-showroom.
