The record

The Islander package paired Pacific Blue, Malibu Yellow or Bright Red paint with the sunset graphic on the bonnet and body sides, an all-terrain tyre package and a roll bar with padded cover; it was the YJ’s lifestyle trim until the Renegade and Rio Grande replaced it.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
