Half-doors are still available and will be available for the 2019 model year.
One of the models on display at the 2018 Jeep Wrangler debut in Los Angeles featured a strange set of doors with holes in the lower sections. This design is thought to have been done to improve visibility for off-roading. Jeep decided to not make the parts.
“Half-doors are available beginning in 2019, but they will not be the same style as the one shown in LA. The design will be similar to the previous versions,” a Jeep spokesperson said Jalopnik. According to the company representative, donut looks were just a concept.
Half-doors are those with an upper section that can be removed without the need for a surround. You can still drive open-air if you prefer. The windshield can be tilted down by the owner, as shown in the photo. Jeep’s aftermarket is known for being strong. A company might build donut doors to satisfy customers if there is enough demand.
Soon, the 2018 Wrangler Unlimited two-door and four-door models will be available for purchase. Base model has a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet. Buyers can also choose from a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic. Customers have the option to choose a mild-hybrid 2.0 liter turbocharged inline-4 with 268 horsepower and 295 lb.ft. It comes only with an automatic. For the 2019 model year, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine will be available. A 2020 plug in hybrid will also be available.
The Wrangler can be driven off-road with its two four-wheel-drive systems. Basic Command-Trac configuration includes a 2.72 to1 low-range transfer box and Dana axles at both the front and back. Rock-Trac upgrades to heavy-duty Dana 44 axles and a 4:1 low-range rate, locking differentials, electronic sway-bar disconnection, and a locking differential. The 2018 Wrangler is priced at $26,995, but can be increased to $57,310 for a Wrangler Unlimited that includes every option including LED lights and a dual-top roof.
