As we reported late last year Jeep Australia are now reported to be releasing a new "Sahara" variant in the first half of this year.
Reported in mainstream media this week - In the coming months, Jeep will add a new top-shelf Sahara trim grade to the Wrangler range, with standard features including 18-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, six-CD audio system, body-coloured three-piece hardtop and wheel arch flares.
This new model will appeal to many wrangler buyers who like a few of life's luxuries. Although serious Wrangler enthusiasts will not go for the 18" alloys as there are not many options for AT and MT tyres for these wheels. Buyers will like the color coded body and leather seats and this should be a winner for Jeep. All Australia needs now is a Diesel CRD Rubicon model to meet popular demand.
Let's hope they can build enough for the Australian market, unlike the current supply issues with Rubicon production (shortage of transfer cases) and the Diesel engines (no supply of engines due to a factory fire) According to dealer sources there are lots of unhappy customers who have ordered Rubicons and diesel wranglers who do not know when their Jeep will be built.
