Jeep has unveiled the North Star special edition, an exciting new addition to its popular Renegade and Compass lineup. These striking models perfectly captures Jeep’s adventurous spirit and rugged capability, while also celebrating a major milestone: the sale of one million Renegade and Compass vehicles in Europe by the end of 2024.
The North Star edition is more than just a special release, it’s a commemorative model designed to honour Jeep’s legacy while embracing modern innovation. Positioned between the functional Altitude trim and the luxurious Summit level, the North Star offers a balanced blend of practicality and sophistication. Its unique combination of rugged durability and premium features makes it an appealing choice for drivers seeking both everyday functionality and upscale comfort.
Building on the strengths that have made the Renegade and Compass such successful models, the North Star edition encapsulates the essence of Jeep. It blends style, toughness and versatility, offering a vehicle that’s ready for both urban streets and off-road adventures. For those who want to take their off-road experience to the next level, it’s essential to equip your Jeep with reliable gear like a high-quality winch. Check out this guide on the best Jeep winches for optimal off-road performance.
Durability is at the core of the North Star’s design. This special edition introduces seats made from high-resistance materials, which are up to three times more durable than those found in the Altitude trim. The Compass model offers a choice between cloth and vinyl interiors, while the Renegade features a tough cloth interior, ensuring durability, style and comfort.
Visually, the North Star makes a bold statement. The exterior features a striking two-tone colour scheme, with black accents highlighting key design elements such as the alloy wheels, interior details and distinctive black logos and badges. A special bonnet decal reduces sun glare, adding both function and flair to the design. The standout Technogreen colour – a dark metallic green – seamlessly blends with the black accents, creating a sophisticated look that carries through to the interior with contrasting stitching on the dashboard and upholstery.
Staying true to Jeep’s open-air driving experience, the North Star comes as standard with a dual-pane sunroof, finished in black to contrast with the Technogreen exterior. This feature enhances the feeling of freedom and adventure that Jeep is known for, making it perfect for those who crave the thrill of the open road.
The North Star also boasts a host of functional features that enhance both convenience and style. Roof rails provide extra cargo versatility, while LED fog lamps ensure clear visibility in challenging weather. The Compass model is equipped with 18-inch black wheels, while the Renegade features 17-inch wheels, both of which come with advanced front and rear parking sensors and a parallel and perpendicular park assist system to make manoeuvring easier.
In a nod to sustainability, the North Star special edition is available exclusively with hybrid powertrains, offering both Hybrid 48V and 4xe variants. This shift to hybrid-only engines underscores Jeep’s commitment to environmental responsibility, while still delivering the performance and reliability that the brand is known for.
The North Star edition represents Jeep’s forward-thinking vision, combining cutting-edge hybrid technology with the brand’s legendary off-road capabilities. As the world moves toward greater sustainability, this special edition reinforces Jeep’s leadership in integrating advanced technology without compromising the adventurous spirit that defines the brand. With the North Star, Jeep is driving into the future, embracing sustainability while maintaining the vehicles’ rugged, go-anywhere capabilities.
