Jeep has complete their Night Eagle range at 2017 Geneva Motor Show, which now sees both the
Grand Cherokee as well as the Wrangler transformed. Both models
get gloss black accents and exterior finishes that allow for a more aggressive
stance and a sportier appeal.
For the Grand Cherokee, the Night Eagle special
edition model is rocking a "blacked-out" theme, starting with the
gloss black grille surround as well as the platinum chrome mesh grille texture,
and ending with the black headlight bezels, front lower fascia applique, badges
and 20" gloss black aluminum wheels.
The interior features premium Capri Black
leather-wrapped seats with perforated suede inserts and black accent stitching.
Furthermore, the anodized gun metal accents are integrated into the instrument
panel and door trim panels.
Powering the Grand Cherokee Night Eagle is a
3.0-liter Multijet II 250 HP diesel engine, as well as a 3.6-liter V6 286 HP
petrol unit, both matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Future
customers can already place their order and choose between six exterior colors,
including Diamond Black, White, Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Velvet Red and
Rhino.
The model Jeep brought to Geneva is sporting the
Billet Silver exterior and is packed full of
standard equipment such as Bi-Xenon headlights, Uconnect radio with sat-nav,
8.4" touchscreen & Uconnect Live, 506-watt Alpine audio system with 9 speakers
and subwoofer, Parkview rear backup camera with dynamic grid, Park Sense front
& rear parking assist and a power liftgate.
As for the Wrangler Night Eagle, it's also enhanced
by gloss black finishes around the exterior, which include the 18" aluminum
wheels and rock rails. Buyers will also enjoy a body color dual top, as well as
a new low gloss black "Wrangler" decal to go with specific hood and
rear quarter decals.
Inside, it features standard Black McKinley leather
seats with Black Sport mesh fabric inserts and a leather-wrapped steering
wheel, both with Diesel Gray accent stitching. The black vinyl-wrapped console
lid and front door armrest and piano black grab handle and vent ring bezels
complete the interior appearance of this special edition model. Full standard
equipment includes the Alpine premium audio system with subwoofer, as well as
the Uconnect sat-nav system with CD/DVD/MP3, and the 6.5" touchscreen with
AUX & USB ports.
The Wrangler Night
Eagle comes standard with the Trac-Lok limited-spin rear differential, helping
it maintain traction on slippery or rough surfaces such as sand, gravel, snow
and ice.
Buyers will eventually choose between a 200 HP
2.8-liter turbo diesel unit and a 284 HP 3.6-liter V6 petrol, both working
alongside an automatic five-speed gearbox. As for body colors, there is a total
of eight to choose from, including Black, Firecracker Red, Billet Silver,
Bright White, Granite Crystal, Rhino, Extreme Purple and Chief.
The Wrangler Night Eagle special edition model will
hit Jeep showrooms in select European markets this month.
