Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Korea has released the all-new Jeep Wrangler, revamped 11 years after its previous model, in hopes of boosting demand for off-road driving, the company said Tuesday.
The latest 4x4 sport utility vehicle was revealed at the 2017 LA Motor Show. The carmaker described it as the model that created the SUV segment and the first to introduce the concept of off-road driving.
Amid an increase in demand among off-road drivers, 1,425 units of the Wrangler were sold in 2017, up 40.6 percent on-year, the company said.
