There'll be none more black than the Jeep Renegade's Dawn of Justice Special Edition when it arrives at US dealer showrooms late February, tagged with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of US$26,250.

Coated in a Granite Crystal or Carbon Black exterior paint colour, it rolls on 18" Gloss Black wheels, sports Gloss Black accents around its exterior, and the Granite Crystal model features a two-tone Gloss Black roof.

In addition, a "unique exterior badge" is applied in reference to the SUV's inspiration.

On the equally darkened inside, a 2.4-litre Tigershark engine powers the vehicle, with four drive modes, a nine-speed automatic transmission and a rear backup camera among its other features.

The car arrives not long after Jeep unveiled a six-vehicle lineup of limited edition rides to celebrate its 75th anniversary.

Limited and special editions allow manufacturers to provide a heightened impression of individuality within a mass market range. – AFP/Relaxnews, February 23, 2016.
