Jeep is on a roll it seems!

Just ahead of the Moab Safari in Moab this year from March 28 to April 5, Jeep has revealed seven new concepts that will be taking part in this 49th annual Easter Jeep Safari.

The safari consists of various trail rides along the Moab desert in Utah, USA, running for 9 long days.

This year’s Jeep Safari promises to be a rocking one! Each of the seven concepts look distinctly different and highly rugged. These cars will be making their worldwide debuts at this safari before entering mass production and distribution to various countries of the world including India.

Four out of the seven builds have been based upon the Wrangler. Since these models are highly customizable their spare parts and performance accessories are easily available everywhere for easy tweaking. Let’s take a quick look at the new concepts due for launch:

1.  Jeep Chief

This car is a tribute to the erstwhile full-size Jeep Cherokee and its graphics really takes you back into the 70’s era. It is based on the Wrangler concept and has a custom exterior which has a subtle blue paintjob with blue highlights to give it a traveller feel.

It now has a French-Bread roof and a modified razor grille, chrome front, 17-inch mag wheels and halogen headlamps. The car gets powered by a 3.6 liter ‘Pentastar’ V-6 engine with a manual six-speed transmission for easy trail-riding.

2.  Jeep Staff Car

This car is a tribute to all the military services worldwide who use Jeep’s cars in their patrols. This car is open-air and has a 4-door concept but no doors. It has basic steel wheels and a stretched roof made of canvas. It has 16 inch wheel with NDT military grade tires. The car sports the same engine as the Jeep Chief does.

The interior is kept minimal with bench sheets and a painted steel finish floor to replicate the look of a carpet.

All these cars look unique and befitting to the legacy of Jeep’s products and its long lasting lineage of performance and endurance vehicles.
