Jeep has introduced a new, ultra-limited version of its rugged off-roader, the Wrangler Willys ’41 Edition, in India. Priced at Rs. 73.24 lakh (ex-showroom), this heritage-inspired SUV will see just 30 units hit the market, making it a rare collectible for Jeep fans and adventure enthusiasts alike.
Design
Drawing inspiration from the original 1941 Willys Jeep, this limited edition model is based on the Wrangler Rubicon and gets subtle but noticeable cosmetic tweaks that pay homage to its military roots.
The most striking visual touch is the 1941 decal placed prominently on the hood. The SUV also gets an exclusive ’41 Green exterior paint option, which echoes the classic olive drab tone from the original Willys. Buyers can still opt for other colour options, but the green shade is the most authentic throwback in the lineup.
Features
While it stays true to the tough Rubicon DNA, the Willys ’41 Edition adds a few unique touches for comfort and convenience. These include:
- Power-operated side steps for easier entry and exit
- Grab handles for better cabin accessibility
- All-weather floor mats
- Front and rear dashcams for enhanced driving and safety recording
These features elevate the overall package without compromising the off-road capability Jeep is known for.
Optional Accessories
For those looking to go even more hardcore, Jeep is offering a set of exclusive optional accessories specifically for the Willys ’41 Edition. At an additional cost of Rs. 4.56 lakh, buyers can add a Sunrider soft rooftop and a side-mounted ladder with roof carrier.
These extras are ideal for owners planning to make full use of the Wrangler’s go-anywhere nature, offering practicality and added flair on overland journeys.
Engine
Under the hood, there are no changes. The Willys ’41 Edition continues to use the familiar 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. It puts out 266bhp and 400Nm of torque, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The SUV also features a full-time four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing, solid axles, and the proven Rubicon off-road hardware. That means it’s not just a collector’s edition—it’s a proper trail-ready beast.
Verdict
The Jeep Wrangler Willys ’41 Edition is a nostalgic nod to the brand’s rich off-road legacy while still offering modern features and genuine capability. With just 30 units available, it’s aimed at true Jeep loyalists who value exclusivity and rugged authenticity.
