The new Jeep Wrangler Polar has been revealed in Frankfurt. A four-door Wrangler Unlimited, it shows off a new Hydro Blue paint color. It will be available in Europe in the first quarter of 2014, in both two- and four-door versions, powered by a 2.8-liter VM turbo diesel or 3.6-liter petrol (gasoline) engine; colors will be silver metallic, bright white, and the new blue. The "Polar" badge shows the 78° S and 106° E coordinates of Vostok, Antarctica, where the severest temperature in the world was recorded at -89.2° C (-128.56° F).  Colors and details recall features from the Antarctic region. The model is based on Sahara.

The front grille, with gloss black accents on the lamp throats, and a new hard spare-tire cover are used only on Polar, which also has a Powerdome hood and body-color hardtop with deep-tint sunscreen glass.  The interior has black leather seats with by Pearl..

Hmm... wonder if that color will show up in the US?

I think that color may be "late" availability.
The 'Arctic' Edition Wrangler was very popular, this simply segways off of that popularity, at a premium price point. Especially since it's Sahara based. Likely $45,000 USD.

The article says that Trac Loc replaces the manual locker? On a Sahara?

Got to be a misunderstanding? The Trac Loc has always been an option on Sahara, never the electric locker, which AFAIK, remains Rubicon only?
