Limited edition Jeep Cherokee

DaimlerChrysler South Africa has introduced a limited-edition Jeep Cherokee Extreme Sport.

Mechanically identical to the Cherokee Sport 3.7L V6, the new model benefits from fog lamps, graphite bumpers front and rear, graphite side mouldings, body colour wheel arch flares and 16-inch Mesa graphite alloy wheels. Interior changes include a new instrument cluster (as per Limited Edition Cherokee models) and an aluminium centre console. Two-tone front seats are covered in a combination of flat woven Taupe cloth and Dark Slate Grey leather, with the Jeep logo embroidered onto the seat backs, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated speed controls rounds out the interior package.

Available in only black or silver, and with a limited number of just 150 available, demand for the R291 100 Jeep Cherokee Extreme Sport is expected to outstrip supply by some margin.
