Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV’s 2018 Jeep Wrangler SUV will feature an upgraded interior with an 8.4-inch touchscreen Uconnect infotainment system, according to multiple media reports.
Spy photographs show four auxiliary control buttons integrated into the center stack to make it easier to install aftermarket equipment such as exterior light bars and winches. Other goodies include a new 7-inch instrument cluster, which will include color-accented vertical metal panels in place of the soft-surface treatment on the current Wrangler.
The interior spy shots indicate a dual-zone climate control system, heated steering wheel and heated seats will be offered. The next-generation Wrangler will keep its center-mount window controls, an indication the vehicle will continue to have removable doors.
The Wrangler’s interior upgrades are expected to be extended to the Wrangler-based pickup truck FCA plans to launch in 2019. Production of the new Wrangler and its four-door Wrangler Unlimited derivative is due to begin in November.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
