Jeep has introduced the 85th Anniversary Edition of its Wrangler to commemorate its “Twelve 4 Twelve” celebration series. The version is the third in a series of twelve special editions of the Wrangler and follows hot on the heels of its counterpart in the Moab 392 and then the 2026 Wrangler Whitecap. The version is mainly a cosmetic version of the original Wrangler as Jeep wants to honour its lineage.
What does the 85th Anniversary Edition play in Jeep‘s Twelve 4 Twelve programme?
The Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition is the third release in Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve initiative, a monthly cadence of special-edition Wrangler models planned throughout the year. Each model in the programme aims to reflect a different facet of the brand’s history or identity. Jeep promises further 85th Anniversary editions will be launched later in the year across other Jeep nameplates, expanding the celebration beyond the Wrangler range.
At what is different in the exterior design from a standard Wrangler?
On the outside, the 85th Anniversary Edition boasts a variety of exclusive visual cues. These include 17-inch wheels treated in Steel Oxide paint, bronze-coloured tow hooks, and Blue Agave 85th Anniversary badging and decals. Also standard are body-colour fender flares, which provide a more consistent look than some of the Wrangler’s more basic configurations.
What interior design elements distinguish the 85th Anniversary Edition models from their standard counterparts?
The interior has a theme that focuses on heritage materials. The interior also has plaid seat inserts that are installed in the interior in addition to an “85th” seat badge. Plaid inserts are also found on the instrument panel and mid-bolsters. The other edition-specific features include the 85th Anniversary shift knob badge, cupholder badge, and Berber floor and cargo mats that are designed for the demanding conditions of off-road driving.
Does it affect performance and capability?
Jeep has not released any information regarding any possible engine or performance upgrades in the 85th Anniversary Special Edition of the Wrangler. The vehicle carries the same off-road equipment, drivetrain options, and capabilities included in its standard model lineup. The emphasis of the special addition model is based on its appearance.
