Jeep gears up for 80th birthday

SPECIAL editions of the Jeep Wrangler and Renegade will be released later in the year to mark the iconic American brand’s 80th anniversary.

Each anniversary model offers standard safety and technology features alongside aesthetic flourishes that make them stand out from the rest of the Jeep range.

These include 80th Anniversary badging and low-gloss Granite Crystal accents, black leather seats with tungsten stitching and 80th Anniversary logo, high-gloss black interior accents and logo tag on seats and mats. Dedicated alloy wheels complete the look of the commemorative models.

They also feature advanced technology and safety features and have 8.4-inch touchscreens, DAB radio and navigation with smartphone integration and UconnectTM services, full LED pack and a new ‘Since 1941’ infotainment system screen.

Jeep says the Renegade and Wrangler 80th anniversary special-series will be available to order from the Spring with UK pricing still to be announced.
