With only a few weeks until spring, the Jeep® brand is promoting its beach-themed “Islander” lineup for 2021. Originally launched in 1988, the Wrangler Islander celebrated the brand’s 4×4 capability paired with unique, beach-themed accents, upbeat style, and summer-fun features. While “Tiki Bob” returns on the iconic Wrangler nameplate for the 2021 model year, Jeep has added the limited edition theme to the compact Renegade.
