2025 Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 celebrates OG Jeep

Jeep’s new Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 Special Edition draws inspiration from wartime four-wheelers and will receive high praise from fans who loved the Jeep ’41 concept unveiled at the brand’s Easter Safari in 2022.

Based on the 4xe version of the 2025 SUV, the $59,930 retro Wrangler is finished in an olive drab paint similar to the original Willys MB military truck, with brownish-blue decals that mimic the U.S. Army’s prescribed stencil marking style. In the 1940s.

The Wrangler’s 17-inch aluminum wheels are painted the same green as the body and wrapped in 33-inch all-terrain tires, while the interior is outfitted with tan Heritage cloth seats, olive fabric dash inserts, and a ’41 shifter medallion. Current roof options include a body-color hardtop and a Sky One-touch power top, but Jeep will soon add a tan soft top for owners who want a more authentic look.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”) { adpushup.triggerAd(“5646c171 -cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758″); } else { adpushup.triggerAd(” e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130″); } });

However, American soldiers from World War II would be shocked by the technology and luxury built into a 2025 replica. While they had to use a 54 hp (54 PS) 2.2-liter inline-four, the 4xe’s hybrid system consists of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 375 hp (380 PS) with the help of two electric motors .

Jeep claims an electric range of 21 miles (34 kilometers) for this setup, which isn’t great by modern PHEV standards, but to the designers of the original Willys it still seems like voodoo. The same goes for the 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and digital instrument cluster.

I prefer the more overtly retro look of the ’41 Concept over the 2022 Easter Safari, but we welcome this latest version just as much. We can imagine that quite a few buyers will park their cars next to the original MB. Who else wants to see them duking it out on a cross-country track?
