For U.S. visit, the Popemobile will be a Jeep Wrangler
How popular is Jeep Wrangler?
Well, when Pope Francis makes his first-ever visit to the United States next month, he’ll greet the faithful from a specially outfitted Jeep Wrangler, the second time this year a Wrangler has been chosen. The first was for His Holiness’ four-day trip to Ecuador in July.
The precise configuration of this version of the Popemobile had not been—and will not be—released, but the Vatican disclosed that the vehicle already is in the hands of the Secret Service, and it won't be on view at any time prior to the pope's US visit Sept. 22 – 27 (Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York).
The white Wrangler used by the pope in Ecuador had a glass-front roof with open sides, allowing the popular pontiff greater proximity to his flock than Popemobiles of the past, which were typically closed, bullet-proof affairs. The pontiff has said that he dislikes a fully enclosed Popemobile
Jeep Wrangler remains the most capable in the brand's lineup—and perhaps the most capable SUV on the market.
Jeep has gone to great lengths to preserve this model's authenticity. You can still completely remove its top and doors and flip down the windshield. The door hinges are still exposed, attached to flat sheet metal that pointedly avoids mass-market appeal. Wrangler buyers would have it no other way. And that authenticity goes a long way toward making the other Jeep products—whether family SUVs or smaller crossovers—that much more desirable than their competitors.
Two body styles are available: the two-door Jeep Wrangler and four-door Wrangler Unlimited. They offer a choice of soft or hard tops, as well as a package that includes both, for those who want to switch back and forth depending on season. Owners can completely open the cabin, making the Wrangler a true convertible SUV. And fans of T-tops will like the Freedom hardtop, which has removable roof panels for a semi-open-air experience that requires less futzing..
The Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6, along with a new five-speed automatic transmission, is the standard powertrain. A six-speed manual is still offered, too. The V-6 and automatic combination can now dash to 60 mph in a much faster 8.4 seconds for the Wrangler Unlimited, or 7.7 seconds for the two-door model. There's surprisingly strong passing pep, and revs are kept low.
