JEEP has released the first detailed pictures of the interior of its all-new Wrangler prior to its public unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of November.

Precise details of the new rugged 4x4 Wrangler are still under wraps but Jeep says the car 'is loaded with more safety features and advanced technology than ever before.'

Glimpsed through the windscreen of a new Wrangler in one of the photos is an exterior shot, showing how closely Jeep has kept to the bluff, angular lines of the old car.

Some versions will retain the ability of the outgoing Wrangler to fold its windscreen flat and Jeep says the newcomer will offer 'even more open-air freedom and dozens of different door, top and windshield combinations.'

The dashboard of the new Wrangler used painted sections which add a retro feel in the same way as Fiat uses on its 500 city car and VW on the current Beetle.

Informed industry insiders believe new engine options for the Wrangler will include new 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, an uprated version of the current 3.6-litre V6 petrol unit and an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
