Jeep 75th anniversary Wrangler
MANILA, Philippines — 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.
