The front face of the Gladiator Advance edition is basically the same as that of the Wrangler, the seven-hole grille with the circular headlights on both sides is very recognizable, and the wide wheel eyebrows and front bumper create a strong sense of power, which is very in line with the positioning of hardcore off-road vehicles.

Jeep Gladiator Advance Edition of the interior design and Wrangler height consistent, still do not have any features, the official named it "Manhattan theme interior", the black center console is equipped with 8.4 inches of central control screen, the entire car has no luxurious atmosphere, and the current consumer aesthetic is not quite consistent, but do not rule out that some people like this original style.
