jeep unveils concepts for easter jeep safari

The latest crop of Jeep concepts for the Easter Jeep Safari have dropped. My favorite is the Wrangler Africa, which should finally settle the question of whether it’s worth lusting after the Land Rover Defender when we get the Wrangler (my own feeling is “no”, but tell me why I’m wrong.

Aside from the 2 inch lift and Dana 44 axles, there’s a 2.8L diesel engine under the the hood.

A close second is the “Chief”, which pays tribute to the 1970’s full-size Jeeps. Like the Africa, it has the lift kit, axles and Fox shocks, along with a 3.6L Pentastar V6.

For me, the combination of a modern chassis and classic looks is hard to surpass. But I’ve also only ever known fuel injection, power brakes and 5-star crash test ratings.

Jonathan It's sad to see all these automakers trying to make an unnecessary rush to go all out electric. EVs should be a niche vehicle. Each automaker can make one or two in limited numbers but that should be it. The technology and infrastructure simply aren't there yet, nor is the demand. I think many of the countries (including the U.S.) that are currently on the electric band wagon will eventually see the light and quietly drop their goal of making everyone go all electric. It's simply not necessary or feasible.
TCowner No - won't change my opinion or purchase plans whatsoever. A Hybrid, yes, an EV, No. And for those saying sure as a 2nd car, what if your needs change and you need to use it for long distance (i.e. hand down to a kid as a car for college - where you definitely won't be able to charge it easily)?
Ravenuer I see lots of Nissans where I live, Long Island, NY. Mostly suvs.
