The special versions feature exclusive branding, a high level of standard equipment, special styling details, unique green paint finishes (among other colour choices) and unique '75th Anniversary' badging.

Just 8,000 of the limited edition cars will be built for the entire EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region.

Celebratory editions of Jeep's popular Renegade and iconic Cherokee will be the first models to arrive in the UK, with the most awarded SUV ever, the Grand Cherokee, and the 'go anywhere, do anything' Wrangler following later in the year.

All 75th Anniversary models are distinguished by a new livery, a 75th Anniversary badge, low gloss bronze wheels, bronze and orange exterior inserts and exclusive interiors with seats sporting the 75th Anniversary logo in relief (with the exception of Renegade).

The Renegade 75th Anniversary sports a unique Jungle Green livery and comes equipped with either a 1.4-litre MultiAir II 170hp engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission or a 2.0-litre MultiJet II 140hp engine with a choice of either a six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic transmission and class executive Active Drive and Active Drive Low 4x4 systems.

Standard equipment includes 18-inch wheels, the exclusive MySky sunroof with removable panels, bronze-coloured fog lamp bezels, roof rails and new, specific fabric seats in either Black or Black and Sandstorm cloth with Tangerine stitching.

Jeep' Cherokee 75th Anniversary comes in Recon Green and is powered by the new MultiJet II 2.2-litre 200hp turbo diesel engine with either Jeep Active Drive I 4x4 system or Active Drive II with two-speed power transmission units and low mode.

Nappa leather seats with dual tone Tangerine/Pearl stitching, 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen radio, bi-xenon headlamps, heated steering wheel and dual pane panoramic sunroof are among the standard equipment.

The iconic Jeep Wrangler has received similar treatment.

The 75th Anniversary edition for this model boasts a Sarge Green body and comes equipped with either a 2.8-litre 200hp turbo diesel or a 3.6-litre 284hp petrol engine. Standard equipment includes body-colour grille, low glose bronze headlamp surrounds and grille throats, Power Dome hood with functional air vents, navigation with premium sound system, Ombre Mesh leather seats and body-colour dual top.

The line-up is completed by the Jeep Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary, also featuring Recon Green paint finish. Powered by the 3.0-litre V-6 MultiJet 250hp engine, it is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Equipment is comprehensive and includes 20-inch light alloy wheels, navigation system, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and Quadra-Lift air suspension that adjusts ground clearance to five different levels for improved driving dynamics on and off-road. A Nappa leather interior will be available in Morocco Black.

At launch the new Jeep Renegade 75th Anniversary edition will cost form £26,795 on-the-rad, while the new Cherokee 75th Anniversary edition will cost from £38,945 on-the-road. Prices for the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee versions will be announced later in the year.
