Night Eagle has landed for Jeep
December 1, 2015
Plans to continue the success story that is the Jeep Cherokee range of 4×4 vehicles have been announced, with details of a new Cherokee Night Eagle version.
Based on the Longitude Plus mid-trim level, Cherokee Night Eagle features black styling traits which reassert Jeep’s personality and unique flair for customisation. It will cost £36,795 when it goes on sale this month.
The new Cherokee Night Eagle is limited to just 350 models for the UK. The car’s bold new appearance accentuates its distinctive style, with satin-finished grey elements on the front grille-mounted Jeep badge, the fog light frames, black gloss roof bars and the dedicated Night Eagle name badge, combined with exclusive 18-inch black gloss alloy wheels and deep tint sunscreen glass.
Inside, a leather steering wheel, exclusive leather upholstery, heated front seats with electric lumbar adjustment on the driver’s seat, Uconnect with 8.4-inch screen and navigation system, Bluetooth and TFT instrument panel create a comfortable, high-tech setting for driver and passengers.
Other standard equipment on vehicle includes a nine-speaker sound system with subwoofer, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, electric tailgate, rear parking sensors, automatic headlamps with washer, rain sensing wipers, and auto-dimming rear mirror.
This model comes in four stylish colours: Brilliant Black, Bright White, Billet Silver and Granite Crystal.
Power comes via the new 2.2-litre MultiJet II turbo diesel engine delivering 200bhp which, combined with Jeep’s smooth nine-speed automatic transmission and rugged Active Drive I 4×4 system, gives the car a top speed of 127 mph and 0-62 mph acceleration in 8.5 seconds. Yet the Cherokee Night Eagle can still return 49.6 mpg fuel economy on the combined cycle.
Damien Dally, head of brand, Jeep UK, said: “Full of style, loaded with equipment and designed to enhance Cherokee’s already strong appeal, the new Night Eagle version is particularly exclusive.
“With its rugged, sporting looks and excellent off-road capabilities, this limited edition newcomer will, I am sure, appeal to a whole new group of Jeep customers.”
