NEW YORK: It seems as though FCA can’t get enough of creating different versions of the iconic SUV. After unveiling the Jeep Wrangler Red Rock Concept at the SEMA show, the brand will be presenting the 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week.
But that’s not all. The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night will also make its appearance. The new edition of the hot-rod SUV features a glossy black finish of the roof, the rear spoiler, the front grille as well as the B and C pillars. It also gets satin black front trim piece, badging and split five-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the SRT Night also offers Black Laguna leather upholstery with silver contrast stitching and black chrome instrument bezels. Three paint colours are available, including Velvet Red, Billet Silver and Granite Crystal.
As for the 2016 Jeep Wrangler Backcountry, it’s based on the Sahara version, but boasts a winter theme with powder-coated bumpers, black 17-inch Rubicon alloy wheels and a black fuel filler door. It also comes with a black hardtop, while a body-colour hardtop is optional. The Backcountry’s cabin includes piano black vent rings, door handles and grab handles. The console lid and door panels also get vinyl wrappings with gray stitching, black leather and mesh-trimmed seats, a nine-speaker Alpine stereo and slush mats. Five paint colours are available, including the exclusive Xtreme Purple in addition to Hydro Blue, Bright White, Granite Crystal and Black.
Both these special-edition models will be on sale in Canada. The Wrangler Backcountry will arrive at the end of November, while the Grand Cherokee SRT Night will hit showroom floors in the beginning of 2016
