No More 2 Door Diesel Wranglers For Australia In 2012

Word is that Jeep Australia are no longer going to import the 2 Door Wrangler with the Turbo Diesel engine. They will only be importing the 4 Door Unlimited in both manual 6 speed and Auto 5 speed versions. In a move that appears to be against the strong market trends to the cleaner and more efficient diesel fuel, the Wrangler 2 Door has only been selling in small volumes compared to the very succesfull 4 door version.

Maybe Jeep see the new Pentastar V6 as a more price effective power source than the expensive ($5000) option of the Diesel. The Pentastar V6 engine is certainly less thirsty than the current 3.8L V6 engine that is long past its use by date. Diesel buyers will need to look elswhere or buy one of the few remaining 2011 current 2 door Wranglers. Check out Talking Jeep Oz for more updates soon on the 2012 Jeep models heading to Australia.
