Retro-inspired Jeep Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition launched

The Wrangler is the third of twelve special-edition models planned during a year-long Jeep birthday celebration

The Jeep Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition will see customers pay just $710 more for the commemorative package

Jeep has revealed the latest model in its planned year-long birthday celebration, which commemorates 85 years of the legendary 4×4 brand.

A total of twelve new special-edition models will be launched throughout the year, as part of its “Twelve 4 Twelve” series, which will highlight everything Jeep can offer. 

The third vehicle to be announced for the series is the Jeep Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition, which combines retro-inspired design details with modern off-road technology.

It sees the 85th Anniversary Edition follow the Wrangler 392 launched in November 2025, and the new Wrangler Whitecap, revealed last month.

Most significantly, it gives Jeep fans the chance to own a 4×4 with nostalgic interior fabric.

An anniversary present worth checking out

The standout feature of the Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition are the exclusive plaid seat inserts, complete with bespoke seat tags. 

More plaid detailing can be found across the instrument panel, said to pay tribute to ‘Jeep Americana heritage’. There is also an 85th Anniversary gear shifter medallion and cupholder plaque, along with durable Berber floor and cargo mats.

Jeep has given the 85th Anniversary Edition package a host of exterior upgrades, too, with Steel Oxide-painted 17-inch wheels, bronze tow hooks, and Blue Agave 85th Anniversary badges. 

Buyers can add a body-colored hardtop and all-terrain tires from the factory, should they want to further personalize their Wrangler

Standard equipment includes an Alpine premium sound system, tinted windows, and a convenience package with heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and remote start with keyless entry.

Honoring the past for today’s adventures

Orders for the Jeep Wrangler 85th Anniversary Edition can be placed now, with prices starting from $46,300 (excluding a $1,995 destination fee).

This means the new commemorative model costs only $710 more than a comparably equipped Wrangler Sport S.

“For 85 uninterrupted years, every Jeep vehicle has been built with purpose, designed first for capability, engineered for real world use and shaped by the needs of those who rely on it,” said Bob Broderdorf, Jeep brand CEO. 

“The Wrangler 85th Anniversary special edition reflects this enduring mindset, translating into thoughtful details and authentic design cues that honor the past while continuing to deliver confidence and capability for today’s adventures.”

Jeep will also offer the same 85th Anniversary package, complete with plaid seats, for the Gladiator truck

Prices for the celebratory version of the open-air pickup begin from $45,820, before the addition of the $1,995 destination charge.
