The 2021 model year we’re stepping into marks the 80th anniversary of Jeep. And when you have a brand that has such a rich heritage, the opportunity to celebrate is too great to pass up.

For customers, that means each model in the lineup is getting an 80th Anniversary Edition complete with several unique touches and features. They will arrive in dealerships later this fall.

“After nearly 80 years, the Jeep brand remains true to the original SUV by continuing to deliver legendary 4x4 capability that has enabled countless adventures and open-air freedom,” said Jim Morrison, Head of Jeep Brand – FCA North America. “We’re pleased to provide our customers with 80th Anniversary models that offer a unique appearance, great value and loads of safety and technology features.”
