2016 marks the 75th anniversary of the Jeep name, and the automaker has already begun to celebrate in dramatic fashion with the release of 23 limited edition models. Each of these models is sure to please even the most lukewarm Jeep fan, and you’ll find solace in the fact that you’ll drive a truly unique car. Out of 23 choices it’s hard to pick the best ones, but here’s a preview of some of the coolest of the year.
1. Renegade Dawn of Justice
While this particular model (pictured above) doesn’t have anything to do with the 75th anniversary, it’s nonetheless one of the most interesting and coolest cars from Jeep. Inspired by the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” flick, the Dawn of Justice personifies the movie just as well as you’d expect. Its exterior and interior present a dark and mysterious appearance thanks to a monochrome black theme. It also features one-of-a-kind 18-inch gloss black wheels and an exclusive metal diamond shift knob, which when paired with the color scheme, will make your inner geek scream with delight.
2. Wrangler Black Bear
The journey into the 75th anniversary limited edition models begins with the Wrangler Black Bear. Even the name cries out with ferocity, and its performance matches it accordingly. The first added feature you’ll notice is the hood, complete with a tasteful, yet original, topographic map paint job. Other unique specs of the Black Bear include black cloth sedoso seats with sport mesh fabric, sport bar grab handles, and iron-gray interior accents. If you’re looking for something you can hold over the heads of regular Wrangler owners, this is truly it.
3. Wrangler Backcountry
If you’re not opposed to driving a Jeep with Extreme Purple as the color, the Backcountry is a great fit for off-road enthusiasts. It comes standard with off-road rock rails to prevent undercarriage damage, as well as off-road bumpers to push any obstacles out of the way. In addition, you’ll get luxurious interior features like heated, leather-trimmed seating, a nine-speaker, all-weather Alpine premium audio system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. For bouldering, the Backcountry comes with a Tru-Lok locking rear axle to make sure you don’t slip on your way up the rocky terrain.
4. Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary Edition
The true Jeep fan will want to get their hands on the Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary Edition, as it will soon become a collector’s item. However, it isn’t just a gimmick. It has a plethora of features starting on the exterior such as beautiful gold and bronze paint accents, an updated look for both the body style and the headlights, and 20-inch aluminum bronze wheels. Inside, you’ll have access to your smartphone through the vehicle’s head unit, thanks to Uconnect, which comes with a vivid 8.4-inch touchscreen display. It also has heated seats and a heated steering wheel, as well as a single-pane sunroof that’s perfect to recline, relax, and soak up the scenery.
The 2016 lineup of limited edition Jeeps raises the bar to another level. While it’s unlikely that this amount of options will become available soon, that just means you need to buy one now. Otherwise, you may have to wait another 25 years.
