The all-new Wrangler’s unique design includes an instantly recognizable keystone-shaped grille, iconic round headlamps and square tail lamps, improved aerodynamics, a convenient fold-down windshield for off-road purists, even more open-air freedom, and dozens of different door, top and windshield combinations. Additional images and complete vehicle information will be available November 29 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. ![Next Gen 2018 Jeep Wrangler Exterior Styling Unveiled]() All-new 2018 Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon It looks like Jeep is moving forward with either a diesel or improved gasoline engines (or both) and will likely include an 8 or 9 speed transmission already in use through out FCA’s lineup of vehicles. The improved aerodynamics are likely a nod to the new shape of the exterior and missing is a reference to new materials ala aluminum like many purists had feared. With what seems to be a similar size and likely a carry-over undercarriage. We say that because Jeep is well aware of how often the Wrangler gets modified and also how big of a fan following that has. Details are still sparse and we can’t wait until the LA Auto Show. ## Related vehicle coverage - [2018 Jeep Wrangler]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/10/2018-jeep-wrangler-exterior-styling-unveiled/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/10/2018-jeep-wrangler-exterior-styling-unveiled/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "Next Gen 2018 Jeep Wrangler Exterior Styling Unveiled", "datePublished": "2017-11-01T01:43:36+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-08-19T15:26:16+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/10/2018-jeep-wrangler-exterior-styling-unveiled/" }, "wordCount": 275, "commentCount": 0, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/10/2018-jeep-wrangler-exterior-styling-unveiled/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/JP018_124WRm8kh1i531cj1c0k1lflpt268q3.jpg", "keywords": [ "2018 jeep wrangler", "jeep wrangler", "new jeep", "wrangler" ], "articleSection": [ "News" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/10/2018-jeep-wrangler-exterior-styling-unveiled/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/10/2018-jeep-wrangler-exterior-styling-unveiled/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/10/2018-jeep-wrangler-exterior-styling-unveiled/", "name": "2018 Jeep Wrangler Exterior Unveiled -
