AUBURN HILLS, Michigan — Chrysler has released images of the revised 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, which get all-new interiors. Sahara models feature a new body-color hardtop.
The revamped Wrangler cockpit gets a redesigned instrument panel and center stack, upgraded materials and new storage areas, including a lockable console. Larger rear windows provide better visibility. Buyers can also order heated power mirrors.
Also new are steering-wheel controls for audio, hands-free phone and cruise control, as well as a USB interface for iPod and other MP3 players and a 110-volt power outlet.
New Wrangler colors for 2011 include Detonator Yellow, Deep Cherry Red, Sahara Tan, Cosmos Blue and Bright White.

Hey, hey, hey, the 2011 Wrangler!!!
Look at that Audi-like interior! Hmmm, I wonder how much I will loose on trading in my unlimited, deep water blue, 2010 Rubicon diesel, the best car I`ve ever owned.
Love that white shade, and with the tan interior its a killer!
A pity you americans are left without a 30-32mpg diesel with 215bhp`s and 540nm of tourqe (how much that translates into lbs/ft I don`t know, but I guess it`s about the double of that anemic 3,8 V6 of yours).
Anyway, it`ll take some time before it hits european shores. Rumors are that Chrysler are rebadging into Lancia over here!!!!! Fiat bosses now owns 80% now and want things their own way. Hope to god we don`t drive around in Fiat Wranglers in 5 yrs time....

loooks great - give me the tan interior with a black exterior and it is going to look sweet!!! - I've had 2 jeeps in my life a 90' and a 98' and now drive an Audi a4. I'm going to pick a jeep wrangler up as my fun car, cause everytime I see one I long to have a jeep back in my life.

To everyone complaining about how the interior has lost its ruggedness: I think its been about 25-30+ years since you could actually hose down the entire interior without risk of some sort of electrical fault. With this interation one can still remove the carpet, pull the drain plugs and hose down the floor area - so it doesn't seem to different to me. If desired, you can even leave the carpet out.
All you guys seem to think a jeep should "look" rugged inside. Aren't you diehards supposed to only care about off-road ability. By that measure, the latest has been proven to be better stock than any previous wrangler, so that shoudl end all arguments. It seems hypocritical that the "rugged man Wrangler" sect is so focused on the interior and not the mechanical hardware where it matters.

As the proud owner of a 1998 Wrangler soft top, I was a bit opposed to the 2007 addition of the four door wrangler. After some time, the idea grew on me...even though 4 door drivers don't do the Jeep Wave. The thing I love about my Jeep is its rough and tumble feel and the fact that I don't have to worry if it rains when my top is down. I love the metal floors and the utilitarian feel of the car. It's not a luxury car. These new interiors and body color tops are an insult to us wrangler lovers. If you want a jeep with a nav screen, leather seats, or a nice interior...get a GRAND CHEROKEE. NOTE TO JEEP: don't fix something thats not broken!

The interior finally looks decent! Knowing Jeep, this will remain untouched for another 25 years or so. Why have they never made a Hemi Wrangler before?
