Major

enhancemen­ts to the popular and successful Jeep Wrangler range of SUV vehicles have been announced, with details of a new engine and a raft of enhancemen­ts to the current model for 2016.

In addition, and to celebrate the iconic 4x4 brand’s 75th birthday, Jeep has also revealed details of a 75th Anniversar­y limited edition Wrangler. The vehicle was first revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

It is a Jeep tradition to celebrate key anniversar­ies, or the conquering of inaccessib­le places, with special editions. And to celebrate its 75 years of history, the legendary brand has introduced a 75th Anniversar­y special edition offered on all models of the line-up including Wrangler.

The limited-edition Jeep Wrangler 75th Anniversar­y is based on the Overland model, but with several key difference­s, including unique exterior styling and part-leather interiors.

The exterior features a bronze-finished front grille and 18-inch alloy wheels, body-colored dual top, Mopar slush mats, unique bronze and orange Jeep badging, and a dedicated 75th Anniversar­y badge. The vehicle comes in Bright White, Solid Black or Sarge Green colors.

Inside, the Wrangler 75th Anniversar­y gets ‘1941’ embossed leather heated seats in black or saddle brown and tangerine (leather with fabric inserts), bronze accents on air vents and grab handles, sat-nav with an Alpine premium sound system and deep-tinted sunscreen glass.

Jeep Wrangler’s existing 2.8-liter diesel engine has been updated to meet Euro 6 emission standards while the car has been given a series of important and valuable updates. These include (two-door Sahara version) front side airbags, deep-tint sunscreen glass, 18-inch polished satin alloy wheels, 3.73 rear axle ratio (Overland version), and further added to the top-of-the-line four-door Rubicon version (which comes with a petrol 3.6-liter V6), 18-inch Rubicon satin alloy wheels, Mopar slush mats, and black, heated leather seats.
