FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



MOPAR REVEALS MODIFIED 2020 JEEP WRANGLER JPP 20 DURING THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW MEDIA PREVIEW 

CHICAGO (Feb. 7, 2020) – Mopar introduced a customized version of the Jeep Wrangler during the 2020 Chicago Auto Show Media Preview on Friday, Feb. 7. The limited-edition 2020 Jeep Wrangler JPP 20 features an array of Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) Quality-tested, off-road JPP and accessories include a 2-inch lift kit, Rubicon Warn Winch, LED light packages and more.

"The new limited-edition Jeep Wrangler JPP 20 is a 'check-all-the boxes' off-road vehicle for enthusiasts," said Mark Bosanac, head of Mopar service, parts and customer Care for FCA - North America. "We loaded the Jeep brand's iconic rock crawler with factory-backed and quality-tested, authentic Jeep Performance Parts specifically designed and engineered to tackle the toughest conditions."

The Wrangler JPP 20 carries a range of quality-tested parts and accessories from the JPP portfolio. In addition to high-strength aluminum body panels, JPP steel tube doors and a new mirror kit are standard equipment. Tube doors, along with a mesh sun bonnet that provides shade for all passengers, deliver an open-air feel. Standard JPP rock rails are made of heavy-gauge steel and Durabull-coated, or truck bedliner coating, to provide protection and durability.

Wide enough to provide fender protection, but narrower than the stock version, the JPP steel bumper is black powder-coated with D-rings for extra towing capability. Completely waterproof to ensure reliable operation during water fording and other adverse conditions, the JPP Rubicon Winch includes 100 feet of Warn Spydura synthetic rope.

The Trailer-tow and Heavy-Duty Electrical Group include four auxiliary switches, a high-capacity 240-amp alternator and a Class II hitch receiver with four- and seven-pin adapters.

The JPP Swing Gate Hinge Reinforcement allows for a larger spare tire to be mounted on the swing gate. The reinforcement is powder-coated black and works with the production hinge for easy installation. A JPP CHMSL (Center High-Mount Stop Lamp) Relocation Kit mounts the third brake light in the center of the spare tire.

The Jeep Wrangler JPP 20 will be delivered with an exclusive owner's kit. The kit will be uniquely packaged with a personalized booklet and other memorabilia. Also included in the owner's kit will be a customer credit that may be used toward the following dealer-installed equipment:

  • JPP 2-inch lift kit
  • JPP 5-inch and 7-inch off-road LED light kits, including mounting brackets  
  • Choice of one of five available JPP off-road wheel sets and set of five tires

The interior includes Katzkin Tuscany leather seats, standard Mopar all-weather floor mats, and Mopar Cargo Tray Kit which provides full protective coverage of the cargo area and seat backs. The standard Technology Group includes a 7-inch instrument panel cluster and fourth-generation Uconnect system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available on its 7-inch touchscreen. In addition, Rear Park Assist and Blind-spot Monitoring also are standard.


Fuel-efficient powertrain options are available for the 2020 Jeep Wrangler JPP 20, including:

  • 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque) with engine stop-start (ESS) or mild-hybrid eTorque assist technology
  • 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine (260 horsepower and 442 lb.-ft. of torque) with ESS
