The Jeep Wrangler short-wheelbase two-door in Rubicon trim is back but in a very limited quantity.
Jeep Australia has announced availability and pricing for a limited Rubicon Recon edition, based on the four-door already on sale and also a short-wheelbase two-door.
The latter will arrive in limited quantities, with just 40 shortie Recons made available. There will be 60 long-wheelbase versions in comparison, totaling 100 Recon Editions for the Australian market.
Pricing for the new shortie is $66,950 before on-roads, and $71,450 for the LWB. Deliveries are expected to commence later this year, and the Rubicon Recon models can be ordered from Jeep dealers now.
The special edition brings a number of extras inside and outside. It starts with a steel Jeep Performance hooped bumper, tailgate reinforcement system, 17-inch black alloys, black grille and fender decals, and a matte black bonnet. A Trail-Rail system is fitted to four-door models.
Moving inside, we find “Torch-Red” seat belts, “premium-wrapped” instrument panel with red stitching, black leather trim for the seats, and heated front pews with a heated steering wheel.
Both models are powered by the ubiquitous Jeep 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine producing 209kW and exclusively through an eight-speed auto.
“A two-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon continues to be a much-desired proposition amongst the Australian off-roading community, and we’re so excited to make this dream a reality with the Recon special edition,” says Jeep Australia’s brand and product director, Guillaume Drelon.
“It offers the everyday practicality many seek, whilst remaining adventure ready.”
