The Jeep Wrangler is a legendary off-road vehicle that has been around for over 80 years. The 2020 model is no exception, and it is still one of the most capable SUVs on the market. The Sahara trim is a good balance between capability and comfort, and the 2.0L turbocharged engine is a great choice for those who want a little more power.
We tested the Jeep Wrangler Sahara listed by Al Falasi Motors on DubiCars. The exterior red colour made the SUV look more daunting and on the inside, the all-black interior further adds to a sporty cabin feel.
Exterior Design
The Jeep Wrangler Sahara maintains its classic and instantly recognizable design, with its bold seven-slot grille, round headlights, and robust stance. The body-coloured fender flares and available body-coloured hardtop enhance its visual appeal, providing a touch of sophistication without compromising its off-road persona.
The removable doors and top ensure that the thrill of open-air driving is just a few quick steps. Despite its modern-day design appeal, the Wrangler maintain its utilitarian feel, especially with those old-school-looking 17-inch wheels.
Interiors
Step inside the Sahara, and you’ll find a well-appointed cabin that combines ruggedness with comfort. The interior features durable materials, showcasing Jeep’s commitment to craftsmanship.
The leather-trimmed seats are comfortable for long-distance journeys. They are also supportive for off-road use keeping you in place at all times. There is ample space all around the cabin for four passengers. The fifth passenger sitting in the middle rear seat will wish for more legroom.
Technology
This particular Jeep Wrangler Sahara model features the optional larger 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment. For the instrument cluster, there is a 7-inch display flanked on either side by analogue dials.
The infotainment supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay phone connectivity. It also features an additional section for off-road called the ‘off-road page’. This section provides real-time data on the car’s angles which helps tackle tricky terrains.
Apart from this, the cabin features dual-zone climate control, steering-mounted controls and other comfort and convenience features to make your journey pleasant.
Engine & Transmission
The 2.0L turbo-petrol engine is the newest powertrain in the SUV’s line-up. It produces 268hp and 400Nm of torque, which is more than enough to take on any terrain. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
On-road & Off-road Performance
The Jeep Wrangler Sahara, built to tackle off-road challenges, also offers a comfortable on-road experience with a suspension tuned to provide a smooth ride. Despite best efforts, you can notice some of the tyre noise and wind noise entering the cabin at highway speeds. Also, since it is a large and bulky SUV, one should be careful about going around the bend to keep the body roll in check.
The Wrangler is one of the most capable off-road vehicles on the market. It has a solid axle front and rear suspension, high ground clearance, and a variety of off-road features, such as a low-range transfer case and locking differentials. All these will ensure that your journey doesn’t stop no matter what is underneath the floor.
Safety
Jeep prioritizes safety, and the Wrangler Sahara comes equipped with a suite of advanced safety features. From available blind-spot monitoring to rear cross-path detection, the Wrangler is designed to keep you and your passengers safe on and off the road.
Verdict
The Jeep Wrangler Sahara is a great choice for people who want a rugged and capable off-road SUV. With the new powertrain, it offers a perfect balance between performance and efficiency for this segment. If you’re looking for a fun and versatile SUV that can handle anything you throw at it, the Wrangler is a great option.
