This is the ’18 Jeep Wrangler, spotted in Downtown Los Angeles.

The new Wrangler will resemble the outgoing one, but various aerodynamic tweaks will make it less upright. A fixed windshield and possibly longer front end will be the main giveaways.

Mechanical details are expected to include significant amounts of aluminum in the name of weight reduction, although the body will be mostly made of steel. A new 2.0L turbo four, dubbed “Hurricane,” is slated for the Wrangler as a more fuel-efficient option. The Pentastar V6 and eight-speed automatic will be the mainstream powertrain, although the big news will be a 3.0L V6 turbodiesel for North America and likely global markets. A hybrid powertrain is also rumored, but a six-speed manual is confirmed to be available.

Jeep officials have insisted the Wrangler’s off-road abilities will only be improved, despite the changes for economy.

Expect to see the new Wrangler in the coming months.
