On April 8th, the Easter Jeep Safari Off-Road Conference opened again in Moab, Utah, North America, with the same customs and the same explosion of multiple player-level new cars.
There are only two groups of people here, a group of top engineers who are committed to pushing a four-wheeler to the limits, and a group of top enthusiasts who use these vehicles to push the limits.
Rumor has it that after you've been through a Jeep off-road conference, you might become a lifelong Jeep fan.
To be specific, the Jeep off-road conference, which spans more than half a century, is held every year in Moab, Utah, because it has the most demanding terrain on the surface and more than 50 off-road roads of different difficulties for off-road fans.
Every year, like Apple's autumn conference, the coolest new car created by the Jeep brand and Mompar's Jeep Performance Components (JPP) team will be unveiled here at the same time, which looks like a weather vane to the global off-road fans.
The reason why The Momar, which is recognized as the top modification by the world, is that these Jeep performance parts are designed and developed exclusively to cope with the world's most stringent road conditions, and the original factory provides quality inspection and warranty services, which is equivalent to the original modification and is more reliable in the later stage.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the car
Jeep Wrangler Magneto 2.0 Concept Car
The Jeep Wrangler Magneto is still called a concept car, but the 2.0 version released this time is more powerful than the Magneto a year ago:
1. Axial flux motor with exclusive research and development, the maximum speed is 5,250 rpm;
2. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a pure electric drive system;
3. Load the lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 70 degrees, with an 800-volt voltage system, and have a reasonable weight ratio before and after;
4. When the electric motor is running, the inverter derived from the racing car can convert the direct current into alternating current.
The equivalent of a pure electric hardcore that is fully integrated with driving performance and fun, especially power output, instantaneous output of up to 850 pound-feet of peak torque, more than three times the concept car launched last year. When tackling the challenge of rock climbing, a maximum output of 625 horsepower can burst out.
The exaggerated acceleration of 0-96 km/ h is controlled within 2 seconds, and it is also equipped with the Rock-Trac transfer case used by Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, which gives the Jeep Wrangler Magneto 2.0 concept car outstanding rock climbing strength at the same time, and also realizes the instantaneous on-demand distribution of torque.
The driver can choose the new strong kinetic energy recovery mode of the pure electric drive system to experience a true "single pedal" driving experience.
It also features 20-inch wheels and 40-inch off-road tires, and the off-road-specific chassis system consists of the Dynatrac 60 Pro-Rock front axle and pro-Rock Dynatrac 80 large rear axle, with a front and rear axle speed ratio of 5.38 and a locker.
In addition, custom rotating shafts and excellent off-road suspension systems are included.
From the design status point of view, Wrangler Magneto 2.0 uses a large number of carbon fiber to achieve the lightweight of the whole vehicle, giving people the feeling that under the premise of refreshing, with the strong performance seen by the naked eye, it can be said that pure electricity and off-road fun are completely stabilized.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk PHEV concept car
On the surface, this new and large-cut Trailhawk PHEV is still called a concept car, but the actual state is expected to be much different from the mass production version.
However, there is no doubt that from the Wrangler 4Xe, it can be seen that the current Jeep's PHEV is almost the ceiling of off-road performance, and it is not inferior to the level of pure fuel large displacement while being extremely fuel-efficient.
The large-cut Trailhawk PHEV looks the same as the current Jeep, fully integrating the blue of the new energy with the hardcore personality of Trailhawk, using a custom industrial blue exterior paint, a custom roof rack that integrates a fastening device, a black painted Rhino Liner roof design designed to enhance durability, four sets of projected LED fog lights with custom rings, and a custom vinyl side pattern design that is resistant to scratching, further highlighting the off-road style of the car. Mopar's stone-resistant baffles further enhance the model's safety when driving in the wild.
It also comes with custom 20-inch neutral grey painted metal matte wheels and 33-inch Bertroichi mud tires. The car also offers a wide selection of wheels and tires, with an elaborate wheel compartment and custom-widened wheel arches to add to its color.
Jeep '41 concept car
"Since 1941" estimates that all Jeepers will be familiar with the occasion of the willys, and this time the name is directly placed on a concept car based on a Wrangler.
The concept car's exterior, including wheel arches and mirror covers, features a glorious D.R.A.B. '41 matte olive green finish with a black powder-coated steel bumper, Warn winch and JPP bumper hoop. Vintage-inspired decorative panel covers further enhance the visual effect of the soft sepia top, while the JPP half door helps enhance the open-top ride.
Inside the cockpit, the '41 Concept features a retro-inspired shift lever in which the gear lever cover was custom designed by Jeep Graphic Studio. The canvas seats are decorated with digital camouflage inserts and Serafil 1043 stitching. The heavy texture of D.R.A.B. '41 matte green Rhino flooring helps enhance durability. The concept car's dashboard inserts are also painted D.R.A.B. '41 matte green, while the dashboard is decorated with a custom Willis vintage-inspired motif.
The '41 Concept also comes with a JPP 2-inch lift kit, 35-inch mud tires, and adorned with D.R.A.B. '41 matte green painted 17-inch Fifteen52 wheels.
Equivalent to Jeep '41 will be a 4xe plug-in hybrid Wrangler, directly into the player's most desired attitude, and although this time called it a concept car, but relying on The Mobile's mass production level, the Car News Agency speculates that it should not be difficult for players to modify into the exact same Jeep '41 in the future.
Jeep Rubicon 20th Anniversary Concept Car
This is probably the most powerful and stylishly designed Wrangler you can see at present.
Built from the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 with a 6.4-litre V8 engine, the Rubicon 2-inch concept car is also equipped with a JPP 2-inch lift kit, a 17-inch Mapar anti-disengage hub with 37-inch mud tires, steel bumpers and bumper hoops with Warn winch, and a steel engine carrier.
It also features a vinyl-clad matte granite crystal look with gold-toned hooks and branding, Rubicon 20th Anniversary hood stickers, fender stickers and a Momar swing door air compressor.
In other words, it doesn't matter whether the car is fully mass-produced, as it already represents Jeep's top level in existing technology.
Jeep Bob concept car
This car is almost the most personal one at the Easter Jeep Safari off-road conference.
Not only were the doors completely removed, but the B-pillar was also simplified to suit off-road needs, while the 3-inch lift kit and custom off-road suspension components further optimised the off-road performance of the new car.
Add to that the Dynatrac ProRock 60 axle, which is supported by King Coils and Bypass shock absorbers, and the oversized 40-inch tires mounted on a 20-inch anti-disengage wheel hub.
Powered by a 3.0-litre Eco-Diesel V-6 turbocharged engine, the Jeep Bob Concept is mated to the TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed automatic transmission to help cope with greater torque loads. The transmission is calibrated for low-speed gear changes and can handle rough road conditions with ease. The new car is also equipped with a Momar cold air intake to further increase torque and improve fuel economy.
What's even more eye-catching is that the exterior coating uses a variety of polishing processes, blending bright and matte finishes to increase gloss and texture. Inside, brightly coloured coated flooring and customised seating create a sporty atmosphere. The ventilated carbon hood further enhances the appearance of the high-performance design and ensures that airflow is introduced into the engine more efficiently.
In addition, the new car's custom hard top is perforated, and the canvas roof extends to the top, both to shield the wind and rain and allow natural light to shine into the car.
Of course, this car is more of a concept car, but it can be seen that Jeep's grasp of the tone is completely in place.
Jeep D-Coder concept car
This is definitely a gladiator who can't be stronger.
The Gladiator D-Coder Concept is a high-performance off-road model that provides customers with a wide range of original quality inspection and factory-backed accessories with a total of more than 35 JPP and Mompar accessories in cherry red.
In other words, all of the cherry red color kits come from Jeep's performance team, JPP, and are originally certified.
The Gladiator D-Coder Concept is very eye-catching in appearance, with a Rubicon-style three-piece modular bumper with integrated single hoop tubular grille and winch protection at the front, and a pair of 7-inch TYRI off-road LED lights mounted directly above the Rubicon-style Warn winch.
On the chassis, the JPP 2-inch lift kit is paired with FOX shock absorbers, leaving plenty of room for the 37-inch Bailuch KM3 tires and the 17x8.5-inch JPP five-spoke anti-off wheels.
Front passenger-side JPP vents prevent water from seeping into the 3.6-litre Pentastar engine as the vehicle crosses deep water, while safely channeling cold air into the Momar intake system located under the hood. In addition, this upgraded powertrain is complemented by a free-flowing Mobile cat-back dual-outlet exhaust system.
The JPP front windshield is made of diamond glass, which is three times stronger than the ordinary windshield. A pair of 5-inch TYRI LED lamps are firmly attached to the JPP A-post mounting brackets on either side of the front circumference area.
The heavy-duty steel JPP stone-resistant baffles are located directly below the JPP tubular doors with Jeep mirrors on both sides to protect the lower panels of the body. In addition, it is equipped with a stone-resistant baffle to protect the cargo hopper behind the rear wheels, and a replaceable nylon baffle cover is used.
Both rows of seats in the interior cockpit are wrapped in Katzkin leather, while a large selection of Momar accessories is also used, including four sill guards, stainless steel pedal covers and all-weather foot pads throughout the cockpit.
Jeep Birdcage concept car
This car is positioned as a performance-level convertible hardcore Wrangler, which is a pure hardcore that completely integrates tone and performance.
The prototype is powered by a 4xe plug-in hybrid, with the first JPP 2-inch lift kit with FOX shock absorbers, a 17×8.5-inch JPP five-spoke anti-trip hub and 37-inch Bailuch KM3 tires. The new custom flat nose and hub lining is designed for larger hub and tire combinations, which are designed to increase the vehicle's ground clearance.
The concept car has removed the windshield and wiper to meet the needs of off-road enthusiasts who are eager to enjoy a true open-top off-road experience. The Jeep design team cleverly isolated the dashboard to create a custom front wall and wiper-filled cover that not only retained the concept car's harmonious and smooth factory appearance, but also prevented dust and debris from entering it. Three 14-inch JPP TYRI off-road LED lights are installed at the front of the car for a sleek and modern lighting effect.
Interiors feature distinctive seat cushions and surf blue stitching that runs through the dashboard, steering wheel, gear shift and emergency brake handle.
Front passengers can properly place a variety of mobile devices on custom JPP instrument panel accessory rails. The Mopar stainless steel pedal cover features a black rubber pad that provides sufficient adhesion friction when the driver presses the accelerator or brake pedal. The entire cockpit is covered with durable and easy-to-maintain Armorlite vinyl baseboards and features four drain plugs for easy floor cleaning.
The Add-A-Trunk concept luggage compartment cover was created by the Momar design team to protect the contents of the luggage compartment when the convertible is opened. Designed for any Jeep Wrangler model that can easily accommodate a full-size refrigerator, the Add-A-Trunk feature uses gas-assisted shocks to open the luggage compartment cover when the swing door opens for the user to pick up and place items. Practicality is further enhanced by eight fixed rope loops and 5 trackings for grocery bags in the luggage compartment.
In addition, the 600-pound Rhino-Rack basket is securely mounted on top of the roll cage, giving the concept car more storage space.
The inside of the tailgate panel is fitted with a JPP swing door flip table panel to help create an ideal working or dining space, while an integrated on-board air compressor is located next to it.
Another very exciting news received at the Easter Jeep Safari off-road conference this time is that the Jeep off-road conference is expected to be held again in China this year, and some concept cars will be shipped directly to China, so that everyone can feel their strength up close.
At the same time, we can also see a signal that as the originator of the Jeep off-road brand, it is already expanding more new tracks, and it is also aimed at creating better products for more player-level users.
