The 2023 Jeep Rubicon was officially introduced by PT DAS Indonesia Motor, as the distributor of the Jeep brand in Indonesia. Two variants are offered, namely the 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and the 2023 Jeep Rubicon Gladiator.
According to the Chief Operating Officer of PT DAS Indonesia Motor, Dhani Yahya, the presence of the Wrangler Rubicon and the Rubicon Gladiator 2023 will also close the wholesale sales of Jeep, which has reached 196 units. According to him, this figure has increased by 11 percent compared to the same period in 2021, which only recorded 177 units.
"2022 is a challenging year for us. This is because Jeep products imported directly from the United States are still constrained by the supply of semiconductors in the production process. This of course has an impact on meeting the needs of units in Indonesia," Dhani said in a written statement, Friday (16/ 12/2022). So, want to know what's interesting about these two new Rubicon models, here's the review.
2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has introduced a new open-top model called the “Sky-One Touch Power Roof”. This section is also known as the hallmark of the newest Jeep vehicles.
This model makes it easy for drivers to use the soft top, where in the front row of the vehicle, the roof can be opened automatically with just the touch of a button. It is intended that the driver can enjoy fresh air.
The soft top material is made of thick black tarpaulin, which is the same material used in cars with Soft Top roofs. It should also be noted that the roof of the "Jeep Sky-One Touch Power Roof" can be opened from the windshield frame to the rear passenger area from the second row of seats.
“It feels like any other convertible roof when it's fully open, or it can be opened just a little bit to let in a bit of air and sun above your head. The ease of operation is the best part of all other open SUV types, and we feel that the Jeep Wrangler is made better with this roof style," said Dhani.
The Sky-One Touch Power Roof can be enjoyed without making the cabin noisy due to wind gusts while driving. With the side mirror fully closed, the cabin atmosphere can be quite calm up to a speed of around 100 Kph.
However, for customers who still prefer hard roofs, this type is still available. With several additional standard OEM accessories from MOPAR, such as the original spare tire cover with the "Jeep" logo and the addition of "Handle Grip" to the interior, it aims to make it easier for passengers to enter the vehicle.
Now also comes the addition of standard options in the form of heated steering wheel and heated front seat seats, making the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon feel more luxurious and comfortable.
Apart from that, other models that are still available, such as the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2-Door and Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4-Door, also get additions such as handle grips from MOPAR, heated steering wheel and front seat, as well as a typical Jeep spare tire cover.
Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 2023
For the 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, several changes have occurred, especially in the handle grip section of the MOPAR and also a wireless speaker with a Bluetooth connection, which will add to the excitement of an adventure because these speakers can be moved from inside the vehicle and taken outside for outdoor activities.
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for the 2023 Model Year, both the 2-Door and 4-Door models (except the Sahara and Gladiator) also get a new design touch for the wheels or wheel rims.
Jeep cars also still use a 17-inch wheel circumference covered with high-performance tires from BF-Goodrich 32-inch type MT, making the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon a vehicle that is ready to accompany its owner on adventures or for daily activities.
