For an 80 year wedding anniversary, the gift is oak. For 80 years of making vehicles, the gift is a special edition.
Jeep is celebrating 80 years in the business with special editions of its Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Wrangler Unlimited.
They’re available in dealerships from May 2021.
There’ll be 80 units of the Cherokee, 160 units of the Grand Cherokee, and 160 units of the Wrangler Unlimited.
All are powered by petrol V6 engines.
All models feature black leather upholstery with Light Tungsten stitching and are distinguished externally via unique alloy wheels and Granite Crystal accents.
There are also 80th Anniversary badges that feature the side profile of the original Willys Jeep.
Prices range from $51,941 before on-road costs for the Cherokee 80th Anniversary Edition to $71,941 before on-roads for the Wrangler Unlimited 80th Anniversary Edition.
