With Easter Jeep Safari going on, I would think we would have heard something about production changes? (Not just the concept vehicles)

There was mention of a 2.0L Turbo Evo (Evolution). 325hp, 332ft/lbs torque. It's apparently earmarked for the Cherokee, but could very well make it into the Wrangler.

I think that would be a good option.

It’s likely the 2.0 evo is coming and they always add to the standard feature list.

I hear they are adding a 3rd battery, which will be surgically attached to your anus - they say this is a sure fire way that the auto start stop will work perfectly.

Hopefully the manual transmission will be upgraded to meet the 21st century standards

As much as I would love that hp/tq figure, Idk…. Chevy has done well with the 2.7L with 310hp/430tq and thats already running a pretty high amount of torque, and was built from the ground up to be up to diesel standards.

I’d want to know what they improved other than just boost pressure to make that happen, and hopefully it doesn’t stay at just 2.0L for the sake of spooling the (assumed) bigger turbo quickly.
