While a 75th anniversary is generally called a diamond anniversary, things are a little different for Jeep, which reaches that milestone this year. A diamond-encrusted Jeep would just be silly, though, so the company instead is decking out its 75th Anniversary models in special green paint (although other colors can be specified) and lots of bronze accents. Wearing the green and bronze are 75th Anniversary editions of the Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Compass, Patriot, and Renegade.
Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited 75th Anniversary edition
Available in Sarge Green as well as Black, Bright White, Mojave Sand, Rhino (gray), Granite Crystal (also gray), and Billet Silver, the 75th Anniversary Wrangler comes with low-gloss bronze 17-inch wheels, as well as bronze steel bumpers, tow hooks, Jeep badging, grille inserts, and headlight rings. The interior features leather seats with mesh inserts, seat heaters, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen audio system with Uconnect and SiriusXM satellite radio. Other equipment includes special rock rails, a power-dome hood, Command-Trac four-wheel drive with a 2.72:1 transfer case, a 3.21:1 rear axle ratio, a Dana 30 front axle, a Dana 44 rear axle, and Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires. Pricing starts at $35,570 for the two-door Wrangler and $39,370 for the four-door Unlimited.
Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary edition
Offered in Recon Green as well as Brilliant Black, Rhino, Bright White, Billet Silver, and Granite Crystal, the Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary edition gets a specific grille, front fascia, and headlamps, plus black body accents. It also adds the following: unique 18-inch (or 20-inch) wheels in low-gloss bronze; the same bronze finish for the grille rings, fog-lamp bezels, tow hooks, roof rails, lower fascia trim, and badges; heated seats in leather or Gode-Tex (not Gore-Tex) cloth, with Tangerine contrast stitching and 75th Anniversary logos; an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen; blind-spot monitoring; and a power sunroof. Pricing for the Laredo starts at $35,770, while the Limited is $41,870 (add $2000 for four-wheel drive).
Cherokee 75th Anniversary edition
The Cherokee is based on the Latitude model, and the color choices mirror those of the Grand Cherokee. The Cherokee 75th Anniversary edition’s bronze exterior elements include special 18-inch wheels, trim, and badging. Inside, the seats have Gode-Tex cloth inserts and Tangerine contrast stitching. An 8.4-inch touchscreen audio system and a dual-pane sunroof are also included. Pricing starts at $28,870 ($30,870 for four-wheel drive).
Compass 75th Anniversary edition
Available in Recon Green as well as Black, Bright White, Billet Silver, and Granite Crystal, the Compass 75th Anniversary edition is based on the Sport model. Its bronze bits include: roof rails, front fascia trim, rear step pad, tow hooks, badges, and 18-inch wheels. Also included are a power sunroof, remote start, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the 2.4-liter engine and six-speed automatic. Pricing starts at $23,470 ($25,470 with four-wheel drive).
Patriot 75th Anniversary edition
Based on the Patriot Sport model, the 75th Anniversary edition is offered in the same colors as the Compass. It also comes with the same special equipment, although its bronze wheels are 17 inchers rather than 18s. Pricing starts at $21,470 ($23,470 with four-wheel drive).
Renegade 75th Anniversary edition
The newest member of the Jeep family also gets to participate in the 75th anniversary. Its special edition comes in Jungle Green, as well as Alpine White, Black, Omaha Orange, Mojave Sand, Glacier Metallic (silvery blue), Granite Crystal (gray), and Anvil (another gray). Bronze elements include the grille surrounds, fog-lamp bezels, roof rack, taillamp and rear-fascia trim, badges, and 18-inch wheels. Based on the Latitude model, the Renegade 75th Anniversary edition also adds a Beats audio system and MySky sunroof. Pricing starts at $24,370 ($26,370 with four-wheel drive).
The 75th Anniversary Jeeps arrive at dealerships in the first quarter. If you still think these Jeeps need a little diamond bling, there’s always the Bedazzler.
