The Jeep Wrangler is possibly the American marque’s most iconic model, while its Rubicon variant remains as the flagship grade of the line-up.
To celebrate 20 years of Rubicon – named after the famous off-road trail in Sierra Nevada – it seems like Jeep is set to launch a limited edition Wrangler in honour of its range-topping off-roader.
From the teaser released by Jeep, we can see a small ’20’ above the Rubicon lettering as well as a ‘392’ on its bonnet bulge, suggesting this will be powered by Jeep’s 6.4-litre Hemi V8, delivering 351kW and 637Nm in the current North American-spec Wrangler Rubicon 392.

A small American flag can also be seen just above the flared guards, hinting at some kind of patriotic tribute.
Jeep will unveil the new model at this year’s Easter Jeep Safari, held at the Mecca of off-roading in Moab, Utah between April 9 and 17.
Given the Wrangler Rubicon tops out with a 3.6-litre, Pentastar V6 in Australia, it’s unlikely local Jeep fans will get their chance to own a production version of the upcoming concept.
