With the recent introduction of the e-Hybrid variant for Compass and Renegade, Jeep has made a further qualitative leap on the electrification route, which is decisive for achieving the objectives set in terms of sustainability. At the same time, the Stellantis brand launched Upland – the special edition that represents Jeep’s concrete commitment to the environment. The special series will be immediately recognizable thanks to the new and exclusive “Matter Azure” livery that will dress the two cars in combination with the two-tone black roof and 17 “(Renegade) and 18” (Compass) alloy wheels, in perfect harmony with the themes of sustainability and green. Completing the unique style of the exterior are new MetaKrome bronze finishes, which characterize the lower front grille, the insert on the lower front fascia, the wheel hub caps and the ‘Jeep’, ‘Compass’ and ‘Renegade’ badges.
RECYCLED MATERIALS

In the cockpit, the Upland special series includes extensive use of recycled materials, featuring the headliner, the mats with a new dedicated design and the exclusive Seaqual seats made with recycled plastic taken from the ocean, and which feature contrasting stitching. the Jeep logo on the front backrests and an organic vinyl insert at the top. The effect is contemporary and distinctive, thanks to the intertwining weft with classic Chevron pattern in black base color. The plastic collected from the Mediterranean with the help of fishermen is transformed by Seaqual into a polyester fiber that can be used as a real fabric. During the weaving phase, Seaqual Yarn is combined with other ecological fibers that are always natural, recycled or recovered.

On the Renegade, some black plastic cabin trim and components are also derived from recycled materials, and were made using headlamp plastics.
