Jeep is introducing a limited edition of the ‘Gladiator Army Star Package’, themed around military vehicles, with only 30 units available in South Korea.
The Gladiator Army Star Package is a model reinterpreted with a military feel, inspired by army vehicles from World War II, which is considered the starting point of Jeep’s history. The model features a Granite Crystal Metallic-colored Gladiator Rubicon adorned with star-shaped decals, four accessories, and three goods, adding a total value of approximately 3 million KRW. Jeep is offering this special package for enthusiasts who cherish the brand’s heritage rooted in adventure and pioneering spirit.
The Army Star Package captures attention with star-shaped decals representing Jeep’s traditions and history, expressed in a rugged texture on the hood and side body doors. Additionally, it features a Satin Black grill, one of Jeep’s original accessories, enhancing its strong and tough exterior. To increase safety and convenience, accessories like auto power side steps, stainless steel door sill guards, and grab handles for all seats are also provided. The goods package includes a Swiss Army knife, a Jeep military mess kit, and a military ID tag, adding collector’s value that reflects Jeep’s authenticity stemming from military vehicles.
The Gladiator Rubicon, which the Army Star Package is built upon, is a pickup truck created based on Jeep’s rich legacy, boasting exceptional 4×4 driving performance. It combines a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 gasoline engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, yielding a maximum of 284 horsepower and a torque of 36 kg·m while providing a spacious 1,005L loading space. Equipped with Rock-Trac® full-time 4WD, Tru-Lok® front and rear electronic differential locking, an electronic front sway bar disconnect, and an Off-Road Plus mode, it showcases the rugged capability expected of an off-road pickup truck.
The price is the same as that of the existing Gladiator Rubicon, at 79.9 million KRW.
Bang Shil, the CEO of Stellantis Korea, stated, “The Gladiator Army Star Package encapsulates the history of the brand that began on the battlefield and is prepared for enthusiasts who love Jeep’s unique heritage. We will continue to introduce various special packages that can share the spirit and values of Jeep in the future.”
The Gladiator model equipped with the Army Star Package will be on display at 14 exhibition centers throughout the country, including Cheongdam, Gangseo, and Seocho in Seoul, as well as in Bundang, Anyang, Suwon, Dongtan, Ilsan, Uijeongbu, Daejeon, and Cheonan in Gyeonggi-do, Incheon, Wonju, and Jeju from the 9th.
