Jeep has released a special edition Wrangler that gives a nod to the model’s military history.
Wrangler Freedom is an enhancement of the Sport 3.6-litre V6 model, incorporating special styling cues and upgrades to both the interior and exterior.
It is available in two-door and four-door Unlimited variants.
A large ‘Freedom Star’ decal – purposefully weathered to make it appear like those on the original Jeep army vehicles – appears on both Wrangler Freedom’s bonnet and rear flank.
The star also features as an embroidered logo on both front seats, greeting occupants as they enter the vehicle.
2014 Wrangler Freedom’s other exterior enhancements over and above the Sport model include, decals, a painted grill, ‘Rubicon’ rock rails, Mopar fuel flap, body-coloured wheel arch flares, special leather and fabric upholstery, Mopar floor matts, and a leather steering wheel.
Available with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, in both two and four door models, it has Jeep’s Command-Trac® off-road system, 223mm of ground clearance, 35-degree approach angle and 22-degree breakover angle for negotiating the toughest terrain.
Fiat Chrysler Group chief executive and president, Veronica Johns, says Wrangler Freedom brought unique styling to the already rugged, purposeful Wrangler range.
“Australian buyers proved last year that they love Jeep Wrangler and we are pleased to offer them a new special edition model that provides a strong visual connection with Jeep’s rich heritage,” Johns says.
Pricing for the model begins at $35,000 for the two-door manual.
