The vent behind the front tire is to improve air flow from the front of the vehicle through the inner fender while driving. My guess is that they'll also tie into the engine compartment somehow.

Could make for a unique idea on how snorkels are ran on the JL versus having to cut the hood or cowl like on the JK.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't change it a lot more. It's still a JK. These are the kinds of changes that other brands do on a yearly basis. The past generations of Jeeps all looked way different. They changed everything, size, wheelbase. This could be a special edition JK. Not significant IMO.

They wrapped these things up like they were top secret for so long. Then you find out they just added a couple new wrinkles in.

Minor complaint: I don't like the LED strips on the fender. (No problem with the turn signals.) Otherwise looks pretty good, and hopefully close to reality in terms of apparently still having easily removable top/doors.

Having said that, the only thing that'll keep me from eventually buying one neither a real factory soft top, or real aftermarket soft top options. I'm hoping we'll see some quality "renders"/shoops/whatever of soft top variants soon.

I will be happy "IF" whatever comes out gins up mixed reviews some liking and some not so much.
That outcome will serve Us ALL well.
Current owners will have a following for "their" Jeeps AND FCA will enjoy continued success with a following for the New offering - That is a win/win Folks.

Kinda like the $20k TJ's out there for sale?

I'm all for it too. That way when I get the itch to buy new in a couple years, I don't lose any more money than I have to.

not surprising that the changes aren't too drastic if the leaked drawing is real. btw these renderings are just someone taking creative license from the "leaked" drawing and running with it, so I wouldn't get too caught up in the details of these. The real story will be under the hood with the turbo 4 and/or diesel engine options....


Here's the actual supposed leaked drawing for any who haven't seen it...
