Classic Looks, Modern Muscle
At first glance, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 1941 Willys Edition doesn’t just nod to the past—it salutes it. The exterior gets a military-style makeover with ‘41’-specific paint, 17-inch heritage wheels, and 33-inch all-terrain tires that look right at home on a muddy trail or in a Normandy tribute parade. The matte-black hood decal stamped with “Willys” and “4xe” sets the tone. Subtle? Not really. Effective? Definitely.
Open the door, and the story continues. Tan heritage cloth seats, olive-drab dash inserts, and blue accent stitching keep the theme going inside. It’s not overdone—but the connection to its 1941 roots is clear.
Powertrain: Hybrid Punch Where It Counts
Under all that retro charm is Jeep’s now-familiar 4xe plug-in hybrid setup. It pairs a 2.0-liter turbo four with two electric motors and a 17-kWh battery. You get 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. That’s more grunt than most Wrangler buyers are used to—and it comes with a bonus: 21 miles of all-electric range.
It's perfect for quick errands or sneaking through a trailhead in near silence. When things get rough, the instant electric torque helps with traction, too. Everything’s routed through an 8-speed automatic that feels pretty seamless, even when switching between gas and EV mode.
Ready for the Trail
This isn’t a show truck with off-road pretensions. The 1941 Willys Edition is Trail Rated, and it earns it. Front and rear steel bumpers, a rear locking differential, and proper ground clearance (10.8 inches) put it squarely in serious off-roader territory.
It can handle 31.5 inches of water fording. And the 4xe system doesn't hinder any of that—if anything, it enhances low-speed rock crawling. It's still a Wrangler at heart, just a bit quieter when it wants to be.
Market Position: Nostalgia Meets Practicality
At $59,930 MSRP, it’s not cheap. But Jeep knows its audience. This isn’t just another special edition with a badge and some stickers—it’s a well-rounded hybrid that actually honors its namesake. There’s substance behind the style.
It’ll likely appeal to Wrangler loyalists who want something different without giving up capability. And let’s face it, in a world of faux off-roaders, this one keeps it authentic.
