North Edition is the name of the latest package offered by Jeep for U.S. models, and they’re not exactly cheap. The Renegade in this flavor – which is based on the Sport trim level – costs $26,670 excluding $1,495 for the destination charge.
At the other end of the spectrum, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator North Edition soars to $45,720 even though the Overland on which it’s based retails at $40,395. The question is, what kind of content do you get for a handful of dollars more?
Common across all North Edition models, 4x4 capability with a brake-lock differential is complemented by all-season or all-terrain tires. Heated seats and steering wheel, remote engine start, the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system with SiriusXM Travel Link Weather, all-weather floor mats, heated and powered side mirrors, tow hooks, and the Jeep Trail Rated kit round off the list of standard equipment. The latter consists of a safety kit, carabiner, D-rings, and tow strap that should come in handy in bad weather or during off-road ventures.
“When winter weather hits, your Jeep SUV can be your best friend,” said Jim Morrison, head of Jeep, at the 2020 New England Auto Show. “Every Jeep 4x4 is engineered to easily tackle winter, and our new North Editions add features and technology to make winter driving even more of a pleasure,” he concluded.
On a more ironic note, the Renegade North Edition won’t be available to purchase until March 2020. All of the others, from the Compass to the Gladiator, are already for sale at U.S. dealerships. In related news, have you heard there’s a Rubicon Recon version on offer for the 2020 Wrangler? It comes exclusively with the eTorque turbo engine, but Jeep has even more surprises in the pipeline.
The Renegade, Compass, and Wrangler with the plug-in hybrid drivetrain will be marketed as 4xe. By 2022, Jeep intends to electrify every nameplate sold in the United States of America. The Renegade is already available as a plug-in hybrid in Europe while the Commander PHEV is exclusive to the People’s Republic of China.
