Jeep Celebrates 75th Anniversary with Special-Edition Models
To celebrate its 75th anniversary, Jeep is releasing special editions of its 2016 models with paint jobs in exclusive shades of green, wheels in Low Gloss Bronze, Bronze and Orange exterior touches, and unique interiors.
Starting at $34,575, the Jeep Wrangler 75th Anniversary edition includes Low Gloss Bronze features such as 17-inch wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires, tow hooks up front and out back, and unique front and rear steel bumpers. Its body-color grille with Low Gloss Bronze grille throats and headlight rings sits under a power dome hood a la the Rubicon Hard Rock. Other features include heated leather seats with mesh inserts and accent stitching, special rock rails, the Command-Trac t-case with a 2.72:1 ratio, a Dana 30 front axle, a Dana 44 rear axle, 3.21 gearing (a 3.73 setup is optional), and an available rear locker. Getting a Wrangler Unlimited with the same equipment and cosmetics will cost $38,375. Both Wranglers can be ordered in Sarge Green, Black, Rhino, Mojave Sand, Bright White, Billet Silver, or Granite Crystal.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary edition, starting at $36,775, gets a unique front fascia, grille, and headlamps; Low Gloss Bronze 18- or 20-inch wheels and other exterior touches; a choice of seating surfaces with embossed 75th Anniversary logos and Tangerine stitching; and Gloss Black body accents. Available colors include Recon Green, Brilliant Black, Bright White, Billet Silver, and Granite Crystal.
For a starting MSRP of $29,875, the Latitude-based 75th Anniversary edition Cherokee comes with Low Gloss Bronze 18-inch wheels, badges, and accents, as well as Gode-Tex cloth seat inserts, Tangerine stitching, a dual-pane sunroof, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen radio. One of its many available exterior colors is Recon Green.
Jungle Green is the special color available on the $25,375 Renegade 75th Anniversary edition. The baby Jeep, which uses the Latitude model as a foundation, is equipped with a Beats audio setup, the MySky open-air roof system, and a variety of exterior and interior features in – you guessed it – Low Gloss Bronze.
The 75th Anniversary editions of the Compass, $24,475, and Patriot, $22,475, come in Recon Green, Black, Bright White, Billet Silver, or Granite Crystal. Both models are outfitted with a power sunroof, remote start, a leather-wrapped wheel, a 2.4-liter I4, and a six-speed auto. Of course, they also receive a coating of Low Gloss Bronze on numerous parts inside and outside.
Look for the 75th Anniversary special-edition Jeeps in dealerships the first quarter of this year.
