I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com and in this video, we're gonna talk all about the brand
new interior in the brand new 2018 Jeep JL.
Jeep made a lot of changes from the 2017 and even 2018 JK's to this brand new and redesigned
2018 JL.
And one of the biggest changes is the interior.
The interior's also one of these things that is a little bit of a love it or hate it game.
Some people really like the additional creature comforts and the more car-like feel of the
interior of the JL, while others prefer the more rough and tumble interior of the past,
something specifically like that new Nav screen people either love it or they hate it.
But we are gonna go through everything both the good and the bad.
Make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel, that way you can check out some of
the other review videos that we've done on the JL as well as all of the builds and the
other cool stuff that we're gonna do with this brand new jeep down the line.
But for now, let's get into some of those interior changes.
Of course, some of the biggest changes that were made in the jeep are going to be the
dash and everything you can get to from the driver seat.
And I wanna get into that.
We're also gonna go out on the road to show you some of those features, but before we
jump in there I wanna show you some of the other stuff that Jeep did because they really
left nothing untouched.
In the back area here they redid the center section that your rear seat passengers have
access to, so they're actually going to have a couple of blowers so they get some HVAC
back there which is really nice.
Not something that you can change from what's blowing up front, but still get some extra
circulation, some extra heating or cooling in the back area which is nice.
And again, that's gonna be a change from past generations.
You have your window switches in that center section as well and then you have a 120-volt
outlet as well as a USB charging port.
So, your rear seat passengers when they're on their phone they can be charging.
You can also use that for any other accessories that you might need.
There's also a bit of a storage area.
It's pretty small.
I don't know exactly what you're gonna be using that for.
It's not cup holders but there's a little bit of storage back there as well.
Jeep has completed redesigned these seats so they look good, they're very comfortable,
they're gonna be a 60/40 split.
And then in the center, you actually have a little area that can pop down if you're
not having somebody sit there.
And that becomes your cup holders for your rear seat passengers.
So, again, just a little bit of an additional creature comfort that's built right into the
jeep.
Now, that's not the only bit of function that's built into these seats.
You also have a little bit of an easier way to get these folded down.
So, you're gonna have two different levers that you're gonna use when folding those seats.
One is when you're gonna flip the headrest down out of the way, and then two actually
flips the whole seat down so you don't have to worry about pulling the headrests out,
adjusting them, or adjusting the front seats to make some additional room when you're folding
the seats.
So, something that was thought through very well by Jeep and really well executed.
Of course, this is the Sahara, so this has the leather seats.
These are, of course, the black ones, but you can also get them in a tan leather.
If you step down to the Sport or the Sport S you're going to have cloth interior either
black or tan as well.
One of the other things that I wanna mention while we're here before we move to that cargo
area is the map light.
The map lights in this jeep are LED and you have not only an ambient light in the center
but also four individual map lights that can be turned on and off by your four passengers,
so just one more creature comfort.
So, let's take a step back to the cargo space here because there were definitely some big
changes in that area as well.
One of those is gonna be staring you right in the face when you open this up if you have
the option, and that is going to be this very large alpine sub.
We have the Sahara so it has the alpine sub the nine-speaker stereo system in it.
If you have a Sport or a Sport S you're going to have to get that option if you want it.
But if you're somebody who really enjoys music that's probably going to be a good option
for you to take a look at.
It's going to come with all of the components that you would usually have to upgrade to
right out of the factory.
So, that's going to be the most glaring thing but you also have a couple of other changes
here.
You can lift up this area and there's some storage underneath that's going to actually
have a drain built right into it so not that it is insulated at all, but you could use
it to throw some drinks and some ice in if you want or just general storage that's going
to be hidden from prying eyes.
You're still going to have all the spots for your nut and bolt hardware for when you do
have your doors removed or your hard top removed.
Just like in the JK you're going to have that and also you're going to have your jack in
the backspace as well.
Of course, you're going to have all your cargo tie downs.
They're gonna be there to keep things from sliding around in the back of the jeep.
And a couple of the other things I wanna point out are right over here.
So, you're gonna have an additional 12-volt outlet that's gonna be for when you're camping,
when you're tailgating, or when you're done wheeling and you're trying to air up some
tyres with a compressor.
This is gonna be really easy to get to for you.
You also have a little clip up here that's designed specifically to hold your wiring
harness and your washer tube from your hard top when you have your hard top removed.
Now, again, like a lot of this stuff that's not going to impact your everyday life while
you're using your jeep, but it does prove that Jeep really thought through this vehicle
when they were designing it, and purposefully thought of a lot of those little things that
do just make it that much of a nicer vehicle.
So, that really covers a lot of the stuff in this backspace here.
Now, let's hop into the driver seat.
I'll go through a couple of the options up there and then we'll hit the road.
So, when you first get in the JL it does feel a little bit more refined and little bit more
car-like.
And that's something that a lot of you guys didn't like when the JK came out over the
TJ.
Jeeps, in general, have always been very rough and tumble, very utilitarian, not a lot of
those creature comforts.
So, when you start adding to that a lot of you feel like that gets away from being a
jeep.
In my opinion, this is still very much a jeep, it's just a bit of a nicer jeep.
It's just a little bit more something that I would feel comfortable and I would want
to drive on a daily basis as well as hitting the trails.
So, everything in here has been completely redesigned, you have a very nice feeling leather
steering wheel, the dash itself is leather.
This area right here is obviously very eye-catching.
This is something that a lot of you guys aren't really crazy about as well.
It looks like an iPad was just kinda stuck in the middle of the dash here.
And I get that.
I understand where you're coming from.
On the flip side of that it makes you very easy to see and very easy to get to, so whether
you like the styling or not that's up to you, but I definitely like the functionality of
this piece.
Now, in the Sport model you are only going to get a Uconnect 3 with a five-inch screen.
If you go to the Sport S you can upgrade to the Uconnect 4 with the larger seven-inch
screen.
In the Sahara and the Rubicon [SP] you also have the option to go up to the 8.4-inch screen
with a navigation system.
On top of that, you also have a second screen that's going to be between your two analog
gauges.
You have a couple of gauges that are on there all the time.
There's things that you always need to know about.
And then also a lot of things that you can customize and change and really set it up
exactly how you want it for driving on road and off road.
Then in the second section again redesigned, everything was redesigned, that goes without
saying at this point.
Being that this is the Sahara and that it has the cold weather package you're gonna
have buttons for your heated seats, your heated steering wheel.
Again, a lot of those creature comforts certainly aren't necessary but do make this a much more
comfortable daily driver.
Of course, the gear select has been redesigned on this automatic transmission.
You have a Jeep right up on top here which kind of a cool feature, a little bit of an
Easter egg, a little bit of a throwback to the early days of Jeep.
It's very comfortable, very easy to get to.
Again, just sticking with the well thought out theme.
We have the key here and there's a little bit of a slot right between your cup holders
where you can set that and it fights right in there because it is a push to start so
that just gives you a nice place to store that.
So again, they really did a lot more thinking with this jeep.
Up here you have the handles on the A-pillar.
In the back, you also have the same thing on the B-pillar.
If you wanna still get some after marketing grab handles for up here you can but you don't
need to now because you have some integrated right into the jeep.
Again, my overall feeling about the interior is that it is a little bit more luxurious
feeling, a little bit more car feeling, but in my personal opinion I like that.
I think that this is still very much a jeep, it's still a very capable jeep on road and
off road.
It's just a little bit more comfortable to drive on road, and I certainly don't think
that's a bad thing.
So, let's hit the road and I'll show you a couple more of these features that make a
little bit more sense to show you while we're actually driving.
So, now that we're actually in the jeep driving on the road the first thing that you'll notice
is how quiet it is.
Now, this jeep does have a hard top on it and this is the full factory hard top.
You know, there's nothing to flap.
It's very quiet.
It's a hard top.
If you have the power soft top or the full non-powered soft top you might get a little
bit more wind noise in the jeep.
There's also as a factor [SP] set of those HD tyres on it.
So, they're very quiet.
There's no tyre whine at all.
I always forget when I get in this jeep and I drive it the first time that it's fully
up to temperature and you come to a red light and the engine shuts off.
I always forget that I forgot to turn that feature off.
That's something that this jeep does have that isn't my favorite.
But the good thing is Jeep has a button that you can press so that will turn that feature
off so that as we're cruising around here that's not startling me over and over again.
So, the first thing that I wanna talk about on the interior here is this big screen.
Again, we have the optional package so we have the larger screen here.
I do wanna talk through some of the functions so you have your radio on your left-hand side
here and this does have XM Radio as well as, of course, AM, FM, your different radio stations.
You can set your favorites, pretty much work it as you would a regular radio.
It's not something that I'm personally used to.
I don't have that in my daily driver, having the XM Radio.
I really like it.
The next feature is going to be your media.
You can plug in USB, you can go down here to the media port.
You can actually put your auxiliary in there as well so you have a couple of different
options for inputs.
Of course, you can also sync your phone with Bluetooth direction to this, and that'll allow
you to play your music through here as well.
And the next button over is going to be a climate button and you can adjust all your
temperatures here.
You can also control where the air is coming from, and if you have the cold weather package
which we do, you can control your heated seats and your heated steering wheel as well.
Of course, you also have physical tactile buttons down here before the heated seats
and for the heated steering wheel as well as for your temperatures and your fan, but
a lot of that stuff is also accessible through the main screen here.
Here you have your Uconnect apps, and some of these are things that we already saw buttons
for.
So, heated seats, heated steering wheel.
You can access your backup camera through here.
You can turn on and off your auto dimming rear-view mirror through these screens here.
So, you have a lot of different features and a lot of different settings that you can get
to.
So, that's going to be a screen that you might not use all the time because you can access
a lot of these things in other ways but for settings and forgetting everything set up
you are going to be going through there.
You have some other controls here that's basically just your heat, your steering wheel, your
mirror.
Again, this is now the third time that we've seen buttons for that.
And then you also have the physical buttons so no shortage of ways to control those aspects
of your jeep.
And then we have the Nav.
So, the navigation's actually very good.
It has your regular map views that you can zoom in and out of, gives you your speedometer
on the map as well.
You can go back to the menu here and put in your location.
And it works pretty well.
I've never been really impressed by a factory navigation system when you're used to using
say Google Maps on your phone.
That always works better in my opinion but this is going to be an option for you and
it will work pretty well.
You also have a trails option.
So, this is something where if you go off road you can record breadcrumbs and then you
can playback so when you are on the trail you can find your way back again.
So, that's something that's really nice that not a lot of the other factory Navs had.
You had to find an after market off road specific Nav to have that type of feature which is
great to have that built in here.
This button over here is your phone button so if you have your phone connected via Bluetooth
this is going to give you all of your contacts information.
You can go to your keypad, you can make calls, you can go through your contact list, your
messages you can read there.
So, you have a lot of different features that you can access all through here.
And that is just having your phone connected via Bluetooth.
Now, the next thing that I wanna talk about, and this button actually changes when you
have your phone plugged in is the Android Auto and the Apple CarPlay.
So, you have both of those options depending on what type of phone you have.
And this vehicle is the first vehicle that I've really had a chance to play with this
type of setup on and I really, really like the way that it works.
So, when you have your phone actually plugged in you'll see this button over here changes
and you can go ahead and hit the Android button.
And it mirrors some of the apps that are on your phone.
You can see here you have sort of a main screen here.
Music, if you're playing music through your phone that'll show up here.
A shortcut to get you home through your navigation systems.
A couple of things that you might have on your calendar as well are gonna show up here.
Weather is gonna show up here.
So, that's sort of your home screen and that's in the middle here.
Now, on the left-hand side you can go to your maps.
And this is Google maps.
So, if you prefer to use Google maps because you have your traffic and you have very quick
rerouting and say you don't get the Nav in your JL you can use this to get you where
you need to go through your phone.
Or if you just prefer this over the Nav that's actually in the jeep then you can use this.
And that's a really great feature.
Here you have your phone again.
That's pretty much the same setup that you had even if you connected your phone via Bluetooth.
A little bit different user interface but pretty the same features there.
Over here, you're going to have some of the music features so any app that you have that
plays music that's Android Auto compatible is going to be listed here.
So, your Pandora, your Spotify, any of those other apps that play music are gonna be listed
right through here, so you can go ahead and play those directly through there.
And then finally over here you can return to Uconnect while still having your phone
plugged in.
If you wanna go back to your standard Uconnect user interface and get out of Android Auto
but still have your phone plugged in for charging.
So, this is something that I'm really excited about, I really, really like.
I know that it's not a JL specific feature but it is something that I'm really glad Jeep
added into the JL.
In order to have that Android Auto or the Apple CarPlay, of course, you have to be plugged
into a USB so like I said here you have a USB port in your media here and there's also
one in the center console so you can plug in a couple of different, you have a couple
of different options.
So, now we'll go directly below that Uconnect screen.
And a lot of the buttons that you have up here you're going to have tactile again and
some buttons that you don't have on the screen you'll only have the tactile buttons.
You have your three Navs, volume, your fan speed, and your tune or browse scroll wheel.
In the middle here you have your defrost buttons.
This jeep, again, has the cold weather package so you're going to have your heated steering
wheel and your heated seats.
Dual climate control so you have two temperate control levels here.
You can also just turn your fan to auto where it'll automatically control where the air's
coming out of and the temperature of the air, something I personally really like.
A couple down the bottom here you have the mute button that comes in handy.
This is where that auto start button is so you can turn that feature on or off.
Unfortunately, every time you turn the jeep on or off again it automatically turns that
feature back on.
It doesn't save your last setting.
Right next to it you have your traction control, your hazards, your downhill speed decent.
You're still going to have that.
The JK had that as well.
And then right next to that you have a screen off button so that'll kill this completely
whether it's just too distracting for you, you don't want it on for some other reason
you hit that button and you kill it.
Dropping down from there you have your window buttons, you can turn the rear window controls
on and off because as I said in the center stack you have rear window buttons for your
rear seat passengers.
Now, going back into the center section here because as different as this is, this is very
different as well this dashboard area.
What you have here are two analog gauges.
On the right-hand stage you have your speedometer, on your left you have your tachometer.
And everything else is a screen.
The gauges that you're gonna have there all the time are going to be your fuel gauge and
your cooling temperature.
That's going to be there all the time as well.
Obviously, those are things that you're going to be wanting to be monitoring all the time
so that they're always going to be there for you.
Across the top you have three areas that you can completely customize, so a lot of stuff
that you can setup to give you exactly the information you wanna see while you're driving
in the jeep.
So, as you scroll through here number one is going to be your speedometer.
It gives you a big digital speedometer.
Of course, you already have your analog speedo, but if you wanted to have a digital speedometer
you have that option.
And if you go down from there, and this is gonna give you vehicle information so this
tells you what PSI your tyres are at.
You can go over and take a look at your cooling temperature in a different way.
Your trans temp, your oil temp, oil pressure, oil life, and then finally, your battery voltage.
So, a lot of information that you otherwise don't have gauges for is gonna be available
right through the center section there which is great.
Going back down you have an off road specific screen, so that's going to tell you where
your transfer case is.
If it's locked or if it's unlocked and it's also going to tell you the angle of your tyres,
which is helpful if you're in an awkward situation you can't exactly see where your tyres are.
Maybe you don't have a spotter.
You're gonna be able to look right there on that off road screen.
Then you can also check out your pitch and roll screen, so that tells you what angle
the keep is at.
If you're in an off camera situation I wanna make sure you're not gonna roll.
That's gonna help you out with that.
Jumping down to the next screen is your fuel economy screen.
It gives you your current and your average MPG and that'll give you for a couple of different
trips.
So, you can do either trip A, trip B. Down a little bit further you have trip information.
Again, trip A and trip B tells you your time, MPG, and your mileage of those different trips.
That's really your trip-odometor.
Next, it's going to give you the status of your auto start feature.
Going down you have your audio, so if we go back here to radio it's going to tell you
what station you're on.
And you still have your buttons on the back of your steering wheel here that you can scroll
through.
If we go down you have your messages, so we have no stored messages currently but that
will give you access to any sort of messages that you might have.
And finally, we get to the screen setup.
Now, this is not available while you're in motion but this is the screen that you're
going to use to customize the three small screens across the top.
So, right now I have from left to right the compass, my range till empty, and the outside
temperature.
But again, I can really customize those.
Compass, outside temperature, your time, range, empty, average miles per gallon, current miles
per gallon, trip A or B distances.
And then you can also turn any of them off across the top if you don't want that much
information, if it's distracting and you just wanna see nothing up there.
Between the two screens here you really have a ton of information.
anything you would wanna know about your jeep you are going to have access to.
Just to the left of that main screen is a small screen, and it's still a digital screen.
It's going to give you your transfer case selection what you currently selected.
Now, because this jeep does have the select track I can go ahead and shift into four high
auto on this dry road and it's not really gonna hurt anything, and it changes the selection
up top to four high auto.
Jumping back to the steering wheel for a second, I was working through all of those menus with
the arrows and the OK button on the left-hand side.
Then you have your phone answer and hang up on the left as well as your voice recognition.
This system is very good, it's very usable.
However, if you have an Android or an Apple phone I would go ahead and plug your phone
in and then you're gonna be able to use the Google Assistant with this same button which
is very, very nice because you know how accurate this is and all the different things that
Google Assistant is able to do for you.
The right-hand side of the steering wheel that's where your cruise control is going
to be set and that's pretty standard there.
This is actually both a tilt and telescoping steering column.
And that's something that's really, really nice, not just for somebody who's tall like
myself.
No matter what size and body shape you are, being able to adjust the seat completely and
also being able to adjust the steering column completely really lets you get in a comfortable
driving position so that's really nice.
Now, speaking of adjusting the seat you, of course, have the tilt of the back of the seat.
You can pump the seat so that you can move it up and you can move it down giving you
a higher or lower seat overall.
And this jeep also has lumbar support so it can actually control where the lumbar support
is.
I can roll it up and down in the back of the seat so definitely adding a comfort level.
Over on the left-hand side you have your controls for your lights.
So, we have the LED lighting package, you can turn them off, parking lights, headlines,
and then there's also an auto on this jeep here so it'll automatically turn those on
and off for you.
You also have your fog lights where you can turn those on.
And then you're going to have two different dimming wheels.
One is going to be for your interior overhead lights and then the other is going to be for
your gauges.
So, you can really customize the interior lights.
I personally like all my dash lights to be very dim when I'm driving at night, so that
gives you the ability to dim those out and to change that which is going to be really
nice.
If you move over onto the door you have your power mirror selections.
Left, right, and then you can move them around.
You have your power locks.
Your pretty standard stuff.
A couple more things that I do wanna note on the interior here I have my Home link,
my Home connect button's up here so I can program up to three different garage door
openers into this piece here that is moulded directly into my visor so I don't have additional
garage door openers actually attached up there.
That's a really nice feature.
And this mirror is auto dimming in the Sahara here.
And above that you have an assist and an SOS button.
The assist is going to link you through your Uconnect, one of your Uconnect apps.
So, as long as you have your subscription for Uconnect you can go ahead and use that.
And then your SOS, of course, if you get yourself into a situation where you need some help
you can press that button and that's going to send somebody right out and help you.
So, that's going to do it for the overall review of the interior of the JL.
I know a lot of you guys are gonna hate on it because of how refined it is.
Personally, I come from a TJ, I come from very few creature comforts.
But maybe it's because I'm getting a little bit older.
I don't know what it is but even though this is a jeep I like having these extra features.
I like it being comfortable if it's gonna be my daily driver.
And a lot of these things do have a lot of comfort and a lot of modern conveniences that
I really like.
But it's still a jeep, it's still incredible capable.
It looks like a jeep, it drives like a jeep, it feels like a jeep.
It's just a little bit more comfortable than some of the jeeps in the past.
So, I really like what Jeep has done with this.
Go ahead and comment below.
I know a lot of you will disagree.
I'm sure some of you will agree as well.
Comment below and make sure that you're also subscribed to our YouTube channel.
That's going to give you access to all of the other review videos that we have done
and all the ones that are going to be coming up.
