Available in Bronze and Black


The "70th Anniversary Edition" models include the compact SUV "Patriot," the leading SUV that supports Jeep's popularity, the "Cherokee," the premium SUV "Grand Cherokee", and the "Wrangler Unlimited," which most strongly inherits Jeep's tradition.

Jeep was born in 1941 as a military vehicle. Its durability, driving performance, and versatility, proven as a reconnaissance and transport vehicle, were highly praised by the public, leading to the release of a civilian Jeep in 1945. Throughout its long 70-year history, the spirit of "Go anywhere, do anything" has been passed down, and its SUVs, promising performance and multifunctionality for active lifestyles, have been loved by many users.
