August 31, 2009 - With more than 68 years of legendary off-road capability, the 2010 Jeep® Wrangler doesn’t sacrifice anything inside the cabin, offering safety and convenience features, interior space, versatility and comfort. Whether choosing a Wrangler Sport, Sahara or Rubicon® model, 2010 Jeep Wrangler customers will experience best-in-class off-road capability in a true open-air sport-utility vehicle. The 2010 Jeep Wrangler adds even more refinement with a new and improved Sunrider® soft-top system, making it even easier to remove the top for that open-air experience on- or off-road. The Sunrider soft top is redesigned with a new cable-top system that allows customers to easily open and close the top within minutes. The improved soft top features a simplified removal system, eliminating the need to un-tuck and tuck the side rails when opening and closing the top. The 2010 Jeep Wrangler models include a fuel-saver indicator. The fuel-saver indicator provides drivers with continuous feedback on fuel consumption. The fuel-saver indicator will display when driving in a fuel-efficient manner.
