Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Price in India

Among the Jeep models on sale in India is the very macho 2016 Wrangler Unlimited. It becomes the entry-level model in Jeep’s product portfolio for India. The Wrangler is a legendary name known for its unmatched off-roading capabilities. The Jeep Wrangler will cost you just a little north of Rs. 71 Lakhs.

The high pricing is due to the exorbitant import duties levied on CBU imports. There is no direct rival to the Jeep Wrangler in the county right now. And there is unlikely to be one in the near future. Although only one variant will be on offer, the Wrangler will be customizable to a certain extent. Customers can opt for either a hard top, soft top or no top. Also, the no top variant can be had without doors.

The Renegade has been spotted undergoing road tests in India on several occasions.
