The Wrangler Rubicon is the most hardcore off-road version of the Jeep Wrangler. Though the powertrain is the same in Unlimited and Rubicon i.e. a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine making 268PS and 400Nm while mated to an 8-speed automatic, Rubicon is equipped with Jeep’s RockTrac 4x4 drivetrain that features a two-speed transfer case with a 4:1 4LO ratio, full-time torque management, and heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles. In comparison to the Wrangler Unlimited, the Rubicon has increased(2mm) ground clearance of 217mm, larger approach, break over and departure angles, new black fender flares, and good decals. Its off-roading abilities are further enhanced by the electronically operated front ‘sway bar’ with locking differentials. As a Wrangler, it also has a fold-down windshield apart from a removable hard roof and doors that can be easily dismantled and refitted. The Rubicon gets 17-inch alloys wearing 255/75R Mud Terrain tyres compared to the 18-inch all-terrain tyres on the Unlimited variant.
