The Call of the Wild: 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sport at Emerson Chevrolet
In Maine, adventure isn’t just something we plan for; it’s a way of life. From the rocky coastlines of the midcoast to the deep woods of the North Maine Woods, we live in a state that practically begs to be explored. To do that right, you need a vehicle that doesn't see a "road closed" sign as a deterrent, but as an invitation. At Emerson Chevrolet in Auburn, we are thrilled to feature a true icon of American freedom: the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD.
Located at 946 Center Street, our dealership has been helping Mainers find their perfect ride for over 60 years. While we are proud of our Chevrolet heritage, we know a great truck or SUV when we see one—and this Wrangler is a standout. Whether you’re looking to take the doors off for a summer cruise down to Old Orchard Beach or you need a reliable 4WD system to punch through an Auburn snowstorm, this Jeep is ready.
True to our Hassle-Free since ’63 philosophy, let’s take a deep dive into why this turbocharged Wrangler is the ultimate Maine adventure machine.
A New Breed of Power: The 2.0L Turbocharged Engine
The 2018 model year was a monumental one for the Wrangler, marking the debut of the "JL" generation. One of the most exciting additions to the lineup was the 2.0L Turbocharged Inline-4 engine. While some traditionalists looked for a V6, savvy Jeep enthusiasts quickly realized that the turbo was the secret weapon for both the trail and the daily commute.
- The Numbers: This engine delivers a punchy 270 horsepower and a massive 295 lb-ft of torque.
- The Torque Advantage: Notice that torque number—it actually exceeds the V6 of the same year. That low-end "grunt" is exactly what you want when you’re crawling over obstacles or trying to get moving in deep Maine slush.
- The Transmission: This Wrangler comes equipped with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. This gearbox is a perfect match for the turbo, ensuring the engine stays in its "sweet spot" for maximum power and efficiency.
Whether you're merging onto I-95 or navigating a steep camp road, the 2.0L Turbo provides a responsive, energetic feel that makes this Wrangler surprisingly fun to drive on the pavement.
Iconic Design: The "JL" Revolution
The 2018 redesign took everything people loved about the Wrangler and made it more user-friendly. The Sport trim remains the "purist's" choice, offering a rugged, no-nonsense aesthetic that looks great with a little Maine mud on the fenders.
What makes the 2018 Sport special?
- Lighter and Stronger: Jeep used high-strength aluminum for the doors, hood, and fenders to shed weight while increasing durability.
- Easier Top Removal: If you’ve ever struggled with older Jeep tops, you’ll love the JL. The latches are more intuitive, and the overall process is much faster, so you can enjoy the open air the moment the sun comes out.
- Improved Visibility: The beltline was lowered, and the windows were made larger, giving you a better "command of the road" and making it easier to spot obstacles on the trail.
Maine-Ready 4WD Capability
A Jeep without 4WD wouldn't belong in Auburn. This Wrangler Sport features the legendary Command-Trac® 4x4 system. This is a part-time, shift-on-the-fly system that allows you to engage four-wheel drive whenever the conditions demand it.
With a 2.72:1 crawl ratio in low range, this Jeep is built for serious work. When the snow is piling up on Center Street or you’re navigating a washed-out logging road, you can rely on the heavy-duty Dana axles and skid plates to keep you moving forward. The 18-inch ground clearance and impressive approach and departure angles mean you can tackle terrain that would leave other SUVs stranded.
Interior Comfort and Tech
While the Wrangler is built for the outdoors, the interior is designed to be a comfortable "basecamp." The 2018 refresh brought a level of refinement to the cabin that was previously unheard of in a Wrangler.
- Durable Materials: The seats are designed to be comfortable on long trips but durable enough to handle the elements if you get caught in a quick Maine rain shower with the top off.
- Push-Button Start: A modern convenience that makes getting in and going easier than ever.
- Uconnect® Infotainment: Jeep’s award-winning system is intuitive and easy to use, even when you're wearing gloves. It features a crisp display and integrated Bluetooth for hands-free calling and music streaming.
- Storage Solutions: From the mesh door pockets to the hidden storage compartment under the rear floor, there is a place for all your hiking gear, tools, and essentials.
Safety and Peace of Mind
At Emerson Chevrolet, your safety is our priority. The 2018 Wrangler was engineered with a high-strength steel chassis and advanced airbag systems. Standard features like Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, and Hill Start Assist work behind the scenes to keep you in control on Maine's winding, hilly terrain.
Every vehicle that hits our lot at 946 Center Street undergoes a thorough inspection by our expert technicians. We check the brakes, the suspension, the 4WD system, and every vital component to ensure your "new-to-you" Jeep is ready for years of adventure.
