Jeep prepares the festivities in 2021 since the brand celebrates its 80th birthday.In the absence of large auto living room events, the American announces a special series "80th Anniversary" on a large part of the catalog.Starting with the compass.
2021 is a special year for Jeep which has used, since 1966, to celebrate its significant birthdays.The manufacturer will indeed celebrate its 80th anniversary and will launch a special series "80th Anniversary" on the Renegade, Wrangler, but also on the restyled compass and especially on the Gladiator, the first Jeep pick-up for a long time, which will beProposed in France very soon.
First marketed on the restyled compass, the special series is purely aesthetic.The badges "80th Anniversary", the "gray gray" touches, the diamond pattern seats with stitching, the black shiny and the specific rims are part.
As standard, the special edition adopts a touch screen (whose size will vary from 8.4 to 10.1 inches depending on the model), smartphone integration with Uconnect, LED pack and a very small customization with the display "Since 1941 "on the central screen.
Born in the early 1940s, the Jeep brand owed its boom to the Second World War and the orders of the American army.At that time, Karl Probst, a designer from Detroit, managed to provide, for the Bantam Company, a first prototype in record time to the army which had launched a great tender.
The design was retained by the American government, which was looking for a light four -wheel drive vehicle.But Bantam was too small a structure to ensure sufficient production, the design is subject to Willys and Ford who were charged with the assembly.They will cross the Atlantic to tread the European soil, with the history that we know.
