Jeep Australia has confirmed the two-door Wrangler ‘shortie’ will be available locally as a Rubicon Recon limited edition.

 

Only 100 examples of the Wrangler Rubicon Recon are headed our way which consists of 60 four-door and 40 two-door models.

 

Pricing starts from $66,950 plus on-road costs for the the three-door version, while the five-door Recon starts from $71,450 plus on-roads.

 

Differentiating the Rubicon Recon is a steel front bumper with hoop, a reinforced tailgate, 17-inch machined and black-painted wheels, a gloss black grille and matte black hood and fender vent decals.

 

On the inside, upgrades include heated black leather seats, a heated steering wheel, a premium wrapped instrument mid-panel with red stitching, and red seatbelts.

 

The Trail-Rail Management System is fitted to four-door models to help secure and organise the cargo space.

 

Power comes from a 3.6-litre naturally-aspirated V6 engine producing 209kW and 347Nm. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Rock-Trac four-wheel drive system with a two-speed transfer case, locking front and rear differentials, and an electronic disconnecting front sway bar.

 

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon is available to order now with deliveries expected to commence in the fourth quarter of this year.
