Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara “Batwrangler” – one-off, Mopar accessories, custom paint job, RM368,888

Jeep-Wrangler-Unlimited-Sahara-Batwrangler-1

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.

    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?

      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.

      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 Wrangler was the military vehicle during world War 1 up to World War 2 and has been existence since 1941. They are celebrating their 75th Anniversary this year. Please use alittle bit of logic and at least do alittle big of research before giving your comment.
