Space, Versatility and Functionality – Wrangler’s Interior is Family-Friendly

Don’t let Wrangler’s rugged appearance fool you – the interior is comfortable, functional and refined. A spacious cabin and plush seating will make every family member feel at ease during both short drives to hockey practice and long drives into the Alberta mountainside, while the thoughtfully laid out interior provides everything from mesh storage pockets in the doors to a functional centre console to keep you organized. The rear cargo area is cavernous, offering enough space to stash a full weekend’s worth of camping gear for the entire family, and added organizational features like Jeep’s Trail Rail Cargo Management System will help you secure everything from groceries to your stroller.

Families will love the wide range of convenience and safety features that Wrangler offers. Jeep’s award-winning UConnect system comes standard in all Wrangler models, and uses advanced technology to put safety, security and lifestyle information right at your fingertips. You’ll be able to access Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth Audio Streaming, Hands-Free Communication, GPS Navigation, a host of helpful apps and so much more from your vibrant touchscreen display, leaving your hands freed up for collecting toys from the second-row floor.

You need to trust that your vehicle can keep your family safe on the road, and Wrangler delivers with a full suite of safety features. Driver-assist technologies act as your extra set of eyes and ears on the road, so that you can relax and enjoy quality time chatting with your kids. Jeep Wrangler boasts safety features like Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Advanced Parking Assistance, Adaptive Cruise Control, Radar-Sensor Technology around the full perimeter of your vehicle and much more.

Wrangler is Built for Life in Rugged Alberta

The Jeep Wrangler was designed to be the perfect companion for outdoor adventurists, and embodies what life in Alberta is all about. With its removable doors, fold down windshield and removable roof, the entire family will have the opportunity to breathe in fresh mountain air as you cruise from Edmonton into the Rockies for a weekend of hiking, boating or camping. Wrangler offers three capable and economic engines: a standard 3.6L, V6 with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, a 2.0L turbo engine that increases the torque to 290 lb-ft, and a 3.6L EcoDiesel engine with a whopping 442 lb-of torque. All powertrains are capable of up to 3,500 lbs maximum towing capacity, which is more than enough to haul bicycles, snowmobiles, a boat or a family camper up steep mountain roads with ease.

Whether your Wrangler is hauling the family through the Alberta countryside every weekend or mostly cruising around the streets of Edmonton running errands, you can make your Wrangler your own with Jeep’s plethora of available models and trim packages, including Sport models, the Rubicon, the Willys and the Sahara.
