The new 2018 Jeep® Wrangler was one of the stars at the recently concluded 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). But it wasn’t there to ford any rivers or scale the Spring Mountains – no, the 2018 Jeep Wrangler was there for an entirely different reason: to show off its new technology to a fully engaged audience.
Four 2018 Jeep Wrangler models were on display, all showcasing a boatload of cutting-edge tech. Highlights included 4G LTE connected services and the fourth generation of the heralded Uconnect infotainment platform with an 8.4-inch display and lots of new features: Drive ‘n Save, Uconnect Navigation online search, Family Alerts, and Uconnect App Smartwatch compatibility.
Our Skokie, IL Jeep dealers were particularly excited about the unveiling of the Jeep Adventure Reality app, a closely guarded development that no one outside of FIAT Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) had seen before CES. And for good reason: this app promises to be groundbreaking, utilizing augmented reality (AR) to connect Jeep owners and their vehicle like never before. Through the use of AR, owners can “create” their ideal 2018 Jeep Wrangler, exploring colors, configurations, equipment, and trim levels. No goggles required – users need only design their AR Jeep model on their phone or tablet. The model can then be shared socially with friends, and the app includes a link to the Jeep website where users can continue creating, find a dealer, and more.
Uconnect App Smartwatch capability is another cool feature unveiled by the Jeep brand at CES. Anyone interested in buying a 2018 Jeep Wrangler near Chicago, IL should consider this app, which gives owners the power to lock/unlock doors, flash the headlights, sound the horn, and remotely start their 2018 Jeep Wrangler, right from their smartwatch.
The all-new 2018 Jeep Wrangler arrives soon at our local Jeep dealership. Stay tuned!
