2016 jeep
75th Anniversary Jeep packages appeared on each and every Jeep. All 75th Anniversary special-edition Jeeps will be available in an exclusive green paint (SargeGreen, Recon Green, or Jungle Green, depending on model), low-gloss bronze wheels, bronze and orange exterior accents, seats with embossed logos or an ombre mesh fabric. The series became available in the first quarter of 2016.
Cherokee Sport can now be ordered with the 3.2 V6. Rhino and Line Brownstone have been added to the colors.
Compass is now down to Sport and Latitude models, though a Sport SE package will be added to the base model, and High Altitude continues. Patriot, the “best priced SUV in America,” has added content, and a new Sport SE and High Altitude package. It costs $18,290 including destination.
Jeep Grand Cherokee is the first FCA vehicle to get the upgraded Pentastar V6, as described above; all models, though, increased their fuel-efficiency. The V6 has standard stop-start, and except for SRT, all Grand Cherokees get customizable-setting electric power steering, lower rolling resistance tires, and weight reduction thanks to aluminum suspension components (SRT has the steering and aluminum components, but not the tires). The rumored High Altitude edition has been confirmed. A new shifter is more sensible than the prior one. Ivory Tri-Coat is available on Overland, Summit, and SRT.
The SRT has a new gauge cluster with the tachometer in the middle and speedometer on the left. New drive modes let drivers customize their performance. Performance pages have been revised, and a new valet mode cuts engine power and slashes the redline to 4,000 pm; first gear is locked out, and upshifts come earlier; the manual shifting position is treated as Drive, with the paddle shifters disabled; drive mode functions are set to Street with no override; Launch Control is disabled and stability control is set to full.
V6 torque and fuel economy ratings have not yet been released; horsepower went from 290 to 295, still on regular gas. V8 fuel economy is still to be determined except for the diesel, which is 22/30 with RWD and 21/28 with AWD — an unexplained increase of 1 mpg in city traffic.
Renegade adds Beats audio, rain-sensing wipers, and new colors.
Wrangler gets a new Black Bear Edition with off-road rock rails and other additions to the Sport S; Sahara has various updates including wheels, a body-color bumper, and an Olive Green interior option; and Rubicon Hard Rock, Freedom Edition, and Willys Wheeler all return.
