1997 Jeep® Icon


Jeep Icon is a creative exploration for a next-generation Jeep Wrangler.

Chrysler designers achieved Icon's compact, muscular look by increasing the size of its bumper, tires and wheel arches.

Traditional Jeep Wrangler design cues, including its long dash-to-axle proportions, classic grille face, exposed hinges, folding windshield, and roll cage were re-defined and updated for the next century.

Icon is painted Steel Blue Metallic. Its interior is deliberately simple and rugged with the same exposed aluminum fittings and painted steel. One of Icon's most notable interior design elements are its seats. Inspired by the design of a camper's backpack, Icon's seats are light-weight and made of exposed aluminum tubes which support durable waterproofed olive-gray leather upholstery. Icon Designer Robert Laster says his overall design concept was inspired by the design elements found on today's high-end mountain bikes.

This, I say, is a fun summer Jeep! I like the colors and the open spaces to feel the weather!
