AUBURN HILLS, MI -- Sept. 15, 2015: The Mopar brand revealed today at the 2015 Frankfurt International Motor
Show (IAA) a trio of Jeep® branded show vehicles modified
with a selection of parts and accessories. The Jeep Cherokee KrawLer, Jeep
Wrangler Rubicon Sunriser and Jeep Renegade Trailhawk demonstrate how Mopar
can help personalize the customer journey for owners around the globe.
Jeep Cherokee KrawLer
Based on the
Trailhawk model, the Jeep Cherokee KrawLer was created to tackle the
toughest driving conditions — as the name suggests by hinting at the
vehicle’s “rock crawler” capabilities for navigating
harsh off-road obstacles. The capital “K” and “L”
in the name refer to the KL code that identifies the Cherokee nameplate.
The ride is raised for extreme off-road use with Mopar
equipment including special suspension, BFGoodrich KM2 255/80/17 off-road
tires, wider fenders, skid plates and rock rails. The Cherokee KrawLer
sports a special, military-inspired matte-green body color accented with
quartz grey interior and exterior details. The KrawLer is powered by a 3.2
V6 Pentastar 272 horsepower engine, automatic nine-speed transmission and
“Jeep Active Drive Lock” four-wheel drive with low range and
rear differential lock.
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Sunriser
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Sunriser features
exclusive matte orange paintwork (hence the name), in addition to a host of
Mopar accessories such as bumpers with a double tow hook on the front, a
4-inch suspension lift kit and half doors. The Sunriser also showcases LED
lights fitted between the A-pillar and windscreen to complete the look. LED
technology is also implemented for the daytime running lights and rear
light clusters. The interior is wrapped in black leather customized with
matte fluorescent orange trim, matching the color of the body.
The vehicle includes an engine skid plate and beadlock wheels, which fix
the tire bead to the rim to prevent unintended tire removal, especially
when running with very low pressure and tackling tricky obstacles such as
rocks, sand or mud. The Sunriser is powered by a 2.8 CRD engine combined
with a five-speed automatic transmission.
Jeep
Renegade Trailhawk
Rounding out the Mopar customized line-up
at Frankfurt is a special “Moparized” version of the Jeep
Renegade Trailhawk. This one-of-a-kind Trailhawk is equipped with 17-inch
aluminium alloy rims, underbody skid plates, two rear tow hooks and
exclusive black mirror caps that nicely contrast with the Anvil-colored
livery and special side stickers.
Inside, the customization
includes sporty pedals and Jeep design mats. All Mopar accessories are
specifically designed to enhance the adventurous spirit of this version of
the Renegade, which is most suited to off-roading.
