2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition

Jeep has unveiled the Willys Wheeler Edition, a special Wrangler inspired by the first post-war civilian CJ models of the 1940s.

Cosmetic differences compared to the regular Wrangler Sport include high-gloss black 17” wheels, deep tint rear windows for the soft top, ‘Willys’ bonnet decals and a gloss black finish for the bumper inserts and grille.

The upgraded features aren’t just decorative, though. Also fitted are BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain LT255/75R17 tyres, a Dana 44 rear axle, a Trac-Lok limited-slip differential, rock rails and a trail kit consisting of a tow strap, gloves and a D-ring.

Power comes from the usual 3.6 Pentastar V6 engine that can be paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or an optional five-speed automatic transmission.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
