Jeep has unveiled a special edition of its Wrangler 4Xe called the Willys 41 Concept, paying tribute to the legendary 1941 Willys Jeep/MB. This concept blends Jeep’s rich heritage with modern technology, making it a unique offering for enthusiasts and off-roaders.
The Willys 41 edition stands out with its military-inspired Olive Drab paint scheme, a nod to the original Willys. Adding to its retro charm are 17-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, designed to look like the steel wheels on the 1941 Willys. The wheels are finished in the same body color, enhancing the classic look. On the bonnet, Jeep has added light blue stenciled numbering and bold ’41’ decals, further highlighting its connection to the past. For off-road protection, the concept also comes with metal bumpers.
Jeep offers three roof options with this special edition: a body-color hard top, a power-folding Sky Top, and a tan-colored soft top. These choices allow buyers to customize their Wrangler 4Xe to match their preferences.
Inside, the Willys 41 concept continues its homage to history with tan cloth seats and olive fabric inserts. The gear selector proudly displays ’41’ badges, tying the interior design to the vehicle’s heritage theme. Despite its vintage-inspired design, the SUV includes all the modern features and technology available in the standard Wrangler 4Xe, ensuring comfort and convenience for drivers.
Under the hood, the Willys 41 concept uses the same 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system found in the regular Wrangler 4Xe. The hybrid powertrain produces an impressive 375 BHP and 637 Nm of torque. Additionally, the vehicle offers a 50 km EV-only range, allowing drivers to enjoy quieter, eco-friendly drives when needed.
The Jeep Wrangler 4Xe Willys 41 Concept is a perfect blend of heritage and innovation. It captures the spirit of the 1941 Willys Jeep/MB while showcasing Jeep’s modern engineering capabilities. This special edition will undoubtedly appeal to Jeep fans who appreciate a mix of history, rugged design, and cutting-edge hybrid technology. Whether tackling tough terrains or cruising in style, the Willys 41 concept is ready for anything.
