80th Anniversary Special Edition Jeep, the vehicle that helped win a war.
Jeep Australia has introduced a limited run of 80th Anniversary Special Edition models across the Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited ranges.
“Since 1941, Jeep SUV’s have been renowned for their unparalleled off-road capability and freedom. Today, the Jeep range continues to drive best in class 4×4 leadership, as well as leading safety and convenience features, premium craftsmanship and exceptional on-road dynamics,” said Kevin Flynn, Jeep Australia Managing Director.
“We’re excited to mark eight decades of the Jeep brand with these limited-edition models and give Jeep customers the opportunity to own a piece of history.”
They feature Granite Crystal accents, badging and wheels. There’s an 80th Anniversary exterior badge, featuring the side profile of the original open air Willys Jeep and “80th”.
Inside there’s black leather upholstery complemented by Light Tungsten accent stitching and an 80th Anniversary seat tag for the front seats. The upgraded Berber floor mats also include 80th Anniversary tags, which feature the original Willys Jeep profile.
The 80th Anniversary interior applique is on the Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee instrument panel, and across the console inside the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The Wrangler Unlimited features an exclusive Jeep 80th Anniversary swing gate plaque.
The 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen says “Since 1941” across its infotainment welcome screen each time they start the engine of their collector’s model.
