Jeep unveils Scrambler SRT prepared for series production
The concept features an independent front suspension, a 6.4-litre V8 engine, 37-inch tyres, and removable rear seats that can be rotated and folded flat.
Jeep presented the two-door Wrangler Scrambler SRT Concept at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. The vehicle is based on the Wrangler but differs significantly in its suspension design and the layout of the space behind the front seats.
The main technical change is the independent front suspension, replacing the Wrangler’s traditional solid axle. It was developed with input from off-road racer Casey Currie. According to Jeep, this design is intended to improve handling precision, stability, and wheel contact with the surface during high-speed off-road driving.
The front suspension travel is approximately 356 mm, while the rear suspension travel is 381 mm. Fox shock absorbers are fitted on all wheels, and 37-inch BFGoodrich off-road tyres ensure grip. The wheels are equipped with beadlocks—clamps that keep the tyre in place when pressure is reduced.
The rear cabin layout is unusual. The additional seats can be rotated 180 degrees, removed, or folded to create a flat cargo area. Tim Kuniskis, head of Stellantis’ American brands, also told The Drive that the rear section of the roof can be detached, turning the vehicle into an open pickup-like configuration.
According to the publication, the engine is a naturally aspirated 6.4-litre Hemi V8 producing 470 hp and approximately 637 Nm of torque. The exterior features an orange body and a front end with a distinctive sloped radiator grille.
For now, Jeep is showcasing the Scrambler SRT as a concept. However, both the Scrambler and its SRT variant are already included in Stellantis’ product plans. The exact launch timeline, price, and final specifications of the production model have not yet been announced.
