The cabin follows a darker theme. It gets black leatherette seats with Mayan Gold stitching. The dashboard also has Mayan Gold detailing, giving the cabin a small visual difference from the regular SUV.
More equipment can be added
Jeep is also offering 85th Anniversary AXS Personalisation Packages. These packages bring features such as ambient lighting, SkyLounge or sunroof illumination and a digital inside rear view mirror with front and rear dashcams. These additions add more equipment to the limited edition.
