Jacky Vike, popularly known as Awinja, is Kenya’s most renowned actress, comedian, and digital content creator who shot to national fame after her spectacular performance in “Papa Shirandula”, building a household name. Jacky has also featured in films like Nairobi Half Life and Netflix’s Inside Job.
If dreams are valid, then Jacky’s story vindicates that. The Jeep Wrangler has been her dream car since the days of chasing the bag, and the moment she got the bag, you can’t guess wrong, she went for the Jeep Wrangler. Many would expect a fine lady like Jacky to go for a premium ride like Mercedes, but shock on to you, she is a car enthusiast. She knows the Wrangler has an imposing road presence with exceptional off-road capability. You might be forgiven for thinking she was wrong for choosing the Jeep Wrangler until you encounter the countryside roads that don’t know anything about class. By the way, she can still add a Mercedes in her garage, FYI.

EXTERIOR: Rugged & Bold
The Jeep Wrangler is a go-anywhere beast and a status symbol that has established its roots in the automotive space, its off-road capability largely standing out. While it still retains the iconic silhouette used by its ancestors, modern accessories have been introduced to bridge the gap between old-school vibes and contemporary design language.
The front end features the iconic seven-slot grille, circular LED headlights, a massive front bumper, and steel skid plates. The front fascia is aggressive enough to make the police allow you to pass a roadblock.

The side profile is quite interesting. Depending on your mood and feel, you can decide to remove the doors and even the rooftop and drive in an open-air vehicle. The wheel arches are wide enough to house 20-inch alloy wheels, and the angles of approach and departure are very high.
The rear is more functional and practical. A spare wheel is mounted on the tailgate, and the squared LED taillights add a distinctive look.

INTERIOR: Utility x Practical
The Jeep Wrangler interior has a striking balance between rugged durability and upgraded luxury. If you want a serious luxurious Jeep, we can get you the Grand Cherokee. With a seating arrangement for five people, each row has plenty of legroom and headroom. The driver has excellent visibility of oncoming traffic.
Other features incorporated in this car include Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system. Yes, you have access to an AC, but if you want proper cooling, just remove the doors.
PERFORMANCE
The Jeep Wrangler comes with two engine options: a 2.0 L Twin-Turbo four-cylinder churning out 270 horsepower and 400 NM of torque, and a 3.6 L Pentastar V6 that produces 285 horsepower and 353 NM of torque. Both powertrains are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

FINAL VERDICT.
There are cars that can only be used in the city because of low ground clearance, and there are also cars that can only be used in the village because of their dilapidated conditions, and then, there is the Jeep Wrangler that delivers in equal prowess whether driven in the streets of Nairobi or deep in the villages of Kakamega, Shamakhokho to be precise. The choices are open, but the consequences are unforgiving. If you don’t know what to choose, we offer vehicle consultancy. With only 6 million Kenyan shillings, you can be the next owner of the Jeep Wrangler.
