These Special Edition Jeeps Are Bound for Geneva

A gaggle of special edition Jeep Compass, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, and Renegade models are making their debuts at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. The Cherokee Trailhawk is showing off its new “Trail Rated” badge, too, alongside several more customized Jeeps gussied up with Mopar accessories at the 89th iteration of the international vehicle extravaganza.

A Wrangler Rubicon with Mopar accessories will take center stage on the stand and should be hard to miss with its snorkel, rock rails, black sills and fuel door, matte-black grille, 2.0-inch lift kit, and bright Hella Yella paint. Parked nearby is a Sahara with a splash of Ocean Blue paint and a few chrome bits that include the fuel door and door sills. Both Wranglers pack a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 270 horsepower. The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Jeep Renegade S is based on the top-spec Limited and shows off a fresh coat of Alpine White paint (shown above in optional Turquoise flavor) with a black roof and low-gloss Granite Crystal accents on its grille. It rolls on exclusive 19-inch wheels finished in the same shade of gray. Inside, it has a leather-wrapped steering wheel with black stitching and lots of black trim. It’s powered by a 1.3-liter turbo-four with 177 horsepower, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Renegade S can also be ordered with another version of the same engine with 148 horsepower or a 1.6-liter diesel, which is paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Also on offer is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder 4×4 with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

The Jeep Compass S at the show gets a similar two-tone Pearl White paint job with a black roof and rolls on 19-inch Granite Crystal wheels. The interior receives black leather seats and a gunmetal-colored center console. Under the hood sits a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 170 horsepower. The engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and spins all four wheels. Other available engine options include the 2.0-liter with 140 hp, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 140 or 170 horsepower depending on the tune, a 120-hp 1.6-liter diesel engine paired with a manual transmission, and outside of Europe, a 2.4-liter delivering either 150 hp or 175 hp.

Next up is the Cherokee S. It’s being shown in—yep—Pearl White paint and sits on Granite Crystal Metallic 19-inch wheels. That color is also used for the exterior accents. The cabin features Nappa leather upholstery and the latest FCA tech goodies. The Cherokee S packs a 2.0-liter turbo-four that produces 270 horsepower. It is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

 

The Jeep Grand Cherokee S Limited is intended to offer SRT-style aesthetics. It’s being displayed in Bright White with Granite Crystal 20-inch wheels with chrome lug nuts. The leather-lined interior is mega-black, including the center stack’s glossy Piano finish. Under the hood, a 3.0-liter V-6 diesel engine delivers 250 horses and works through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Cherokee Trailhawk is powered by a new 2.0-liter turbo-four that delivers 270 horsepower. The trail-rated model has a nine-speed automatic transmission. The new engine joins the 2.2-liter turbo-diesel on the Trailhawk’s powertrain list, according to Jeep.

Lastly, the Night Eagle isn’t an indication Don Henley has joined Night Ranger, but rather a Compass with Laser Blue paint, a black roof, and a gloss-black finish on the grille and headlamp surrounds. It rolls on 19-inch tires mounted on gloss black wheels with bright accenting. The Compass S packs a 1.4-liter four-cylinder that delivers 140 horses. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. And that’s all the Jeep news from Geneva.
