Jeep Varsity. Sports car performance. Legendary Jeep off-road prowess.
In the city you'll be there fashionably quick thanks to the Varsity's burly V6 engine. And off road when time melts into wide open spaces you'll have the legendary capability of Jeep 4WD.

Off the Line The Jeep Varsity is built for performance. A 300 horsepower V6 sends this Jeep off the line in sports car time. Crisp handling and the independent front and rear suspension give the Varsity a great ride both on and off the paved road.

Off the Road The independent suspension is teamed with the Jeep brand's legendary Selec-Trac® 4WD system. As with any Jeep vehicle, aggressive approach and departure angles and over-sized tires give this vehicle the off road chops to "go anywhere" and "do anything."

Jeep Past/Present/Future Varsity sports a more vertical interpretation of the trademark Jeep grille. The A-pillar resolution is reminiscent of Wrangler, while separate side markers and turn indicators echo Jeep Cherokee. The exterior sheet metal, where full surfaces transition with facets and hard intersections, show a direct lineage from the Grand Cherokee. Varsity's exterior design of substantial shapes and strong lines is evident inside as well. Heavy-duty materials suggest a rugged mountaineering readiness.

Hmm... now that is very interesting... it's an odd look, but if all Jeeps looked identical, we wouldn't get anywhere. LOL!!
