Jeep Malaysia revealed a customised version of the Jeep Wrangler Ultimate Sahara at Tropicana City Mall over the weekend. Dubbed the “Batwrangler,” this one-off of the iconic off-roader – in long-wheelbase five-door guise – gets a smattering of Mopar accessories plus a special paint job to commemorate Jeep’s association with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Yes, those graphics you see here are not part of a wrap – Jeep Malaysia actually commissioned a customised airbrushed paint job, designed by the Jeep Special Projects Division. The company told us that more custom special edition models like this are expected to be revealed in the near future.
As for the bundled Mopar accessories, they include a steel off-road front bumper, flat fender flares, bonnet lock, Jeep-branded mirror caps, body cladding, fuel door, tail light guards and black versions of the 18-inch aluminium wheels that come standard with the Sahara model.
In total, these accessories (minus the paint job) cost RM52,899, but the Batwrangler gets these for just RM39,999 above the RM328,889 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara, bringing the price down to RM368,888 on-the-road without insurance. Sources within Jeep Malaysia told us that an additional discount of up to RM30,000 is being offered on top of that.
These items add to the standard kit on the Sahara, including a removable Freedom Top, cruise control, auto air-con, leather multifunction steering wheel, 6.5-inch touchscreen Uconnect infotainment system with Bluetooth, voice control and a hard drive, nine-speaker Alpine Premium sound system and “Sahara” front seat embroidery. Safety-wise, there are four airbags, ESC, Hill Start Assist and Electronic Roll Mitigation.
Power comes from a 3.6 litre Pentastar VVT V6 that sends 284 hp at 6,350 rpm and 347 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm to all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.
In the US..
Jeep Wrangler starts from USD$23,895 (RM 92,748)
This Wrangler specs costs USD$38,395 (RM 149,030)
The buyer is paying RM 219,858 more
That is the price of two and a half Wrangler!
That is the RRP price. You bargain uas puas also you can buy US$18k.
1 year old Jeep also you can buy US$8k. The car got no value lah in US even. Come here, they want to sell the Grand for RM500k
Better for Jeep to close shop than sell cars at rip off prices. In US, Jeep is like a low class car. Really really low class. Come here, Jeep Malaysia price it more than BMW and Mercedes Benz. Even their other models, they price it like RM500k.
No wonder you don’t see a single Jeep on the road. Even old Jeeps also tak ada cause the cars are so low quality, they hardly last 10 yrs. Do you ever see the od Jeep Cherokee on the road anymore?
Yes Mr Pariasamy, just to let you know Im still driving low quality 20-year old Jeep…I hope you are happy now for insulting what others are driving…you are really a disgrace…there’s nothing good that comes out from your mouth…would appreciate if you could have some respect for others…TQ.
Dei, you have any idea what you are talking about? Jeep Wrangler is a purpose build vehicle, what low class, high class? The car is expansive because of the tax duty structure in malaysia.
Buy a mazda CX5 for Rm125k OTR, get one Lim Kok Wing student to airbrush you car for RM2k, everything done!
At least you still got your RV. Buy Jeep pulak, buy today at Rm368k, next yer sell at RM80k also, you will be lucky if you get a buyer!!
can even add tonnes of cool stuff and gadgets, and still cheaper than this jeep wrangler ah!
How on earth could you compare a cx5 to a jeep Wrangler? Compare Jeep Wrangler to Range Rover Defender , CX5 is not even a 4×4. ..
Jeep Malaysia… Why all your prices so crazy??
in youtube .. jeep is rubbish..all america man say jeep not tough
