The Pentastar also features a new thermal management system and a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system to deliver improved fuel efficiency in off-roading situations as well.

The classy Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, in its petrol version, features everything that an adventurer will desire in an off-roader that can literally go anywhere.

In addition, we are actively preparing for the launch of our very first localized Jeep, the Jeep Compass in Q3 of this calendar year. 2017 really puts Jeep on the Indian map.”
