| ![]() Finally, it's going to happen. Expect launch around February end / March at a price of around 68-70 Lac. It will be at a premium over the existing model. As of now, there is no information about the features but going by past launch and expected price, it should be fully loaded. Some of the colours that are incoming, Firecracker Red Bright White Billet Silver Granite Metallic Black Sting-Gray Punk'n Metallic Dealers can book one for you with a deposit of Rs 5 Lac. This is the model they should have launched at the first place given the cult following for Rubicon variant. |

| ![]() That's great news! Was there an official announcement or source? I hope they launch the two door version too. It would be cool to see these on the road. |

You can fit 35s on a Rubicon without any mods (the stock tires are 33s in the US) The problem is that it's damn near impossible to find 33s let alone 35s in India. They need to be imported and most tire shops won't even import them for you. Shipping and customs are ridiculous for tires that size and weight. | |

| ![]() Looks like we've got some more signs validating this news - These pics were posted at the FCA Jeep event - Camp Jeep in Hyderabad over the weekend. Jeep brought over a Wrangler Rubicon and kept it on display for everyone at the event. This is the real deal alright, a RHD Rubicon with all the bells and whistles! As you can see, it's a Euro spec Rubicon (almost the exact same as the UK model). It comes with 32 inch BFG KM2 Mud Terrain tires, a red dashboard, black fender flares and probably beefed up axles and suspension. You can even see the switch gear for the sway bar disconnect and lockers if you look close enough. We still get the Euro bumpers with this one too. |

| ![]() I just got some news from the dealer. Bookings are open for the Rubicon! Apparently priced at 65 Lakhs Ex-showroom! Sounds like a very reasonable premium over the base model (Sahara) which is 62. What you get vs the base (Sahara): Front and rear locking diffs Electronic sway bar disconnect 32 in BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires (Sahara gets 32 in Bridgestone Dueler H/T) Stiffer Rubicon suspension Black wheel arches (Sahara gets body colored arches) Red metal dashboard (Sahara gets black leather dash) Rock Trac 4x4 drivetrain with - 4H part time, 4L at 4:1 crawl ratio (Sahara gets the Selec Trac 4x4 drivetrain with - 4H Auto with LSD, 4H part time, 4L at 2.7:1 crawl ratio) This spec would definitely appeal to hardcore offroaders who really want to push the limits of their vehicle. It's great that customers have more choices now. |

I am sure this will be a showstopper in our market, but I wish the pricing was more affordable. I will unfortunately have to wait for the Jimney myself. It would be a blast to go on adventures in any of these new breed of offroaders that our country is lucky enough to get. The Defender is coming soon as well to add to that lineup. Hoping some members can shed some light on this behemoth or have any test drive impressions to share! | |

| ![]() "Jeep Wrangler has been a really successful flagship product for us in India and it commands almost 67% our India CBU sales, since its launch in 2016." This quote from the article is hilarious ![]() Jeep sells 2 CBU models: The Wrangler and the Grand Cherokee, and the GC is more expensive. Such a great example of pointless statistics. |
