The Wrangler Dragon is based on the China-market Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. It’s covered in black paint with bronze and gold details, most notably, the silhouette of a dragon. Other splashes of color include the grille slats, headlight surrounds and Jeep badges trimmed in gold.

The rest of the exterior gets black highlights and a tone-on-tone dragon decal the runs down the side of the Jeep. There is a dragon motif on the carbon-fiber insulator under the hood and on the black spare-tire cover. Mopar added a unique fuel-filler door and a black-finish LED lighting package with headlights, fog lights, turn signals and tail lamps.

The Dragon also gets unique 18-inch wheels in matte black with a bronze and gold outer edge and 35-inch off-road tires.

For now the Wrangler Dragon is only a concept, but if demand is great enough Jeep says it could become a production model.

That’s how much Chrysler’s Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 sells for in China. The price, inflated by import duties, is more than three times the U.S. cost of $54,470. While there’s surging demand for SUVs in China, three decades of changing ownership at Jeep have left it without any local production.
