# 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 Special Edition: Honoring the Classic Jeep
In celebration of its storied history, Jeep has introduced the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 Special Edition, a model that honors the original military Jeep that contributed to the brand’s legacy. The Willys ’41 Special Edition recognizes the legendary Willys MB, the durable vehicle that was crucial during World War II and set the groundwork for the Jeep brand we recognize today. This special edition merges contemporary electrification with timeless design elements, crafting a remarkable homage to Jeep’s illustrious past while embracing the future.
## A Fusion of Tradition and Progress
The 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 Special Edition is derived from the Wrangler 4xe, Jeep’s plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant that has received acclaim for its off-road prowess and environmental benefits. The 4xe powertrain combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors and a 17.3 kWh battery pack, yielding a combined output of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This configuration allows the Wrangler 4xe to achieve up to 21 miles of all-electric range, perfect for both city driving and off-road excursions.
The Willys ’41 Special Edition takes this sophisticated powertrain and encases it in a design that pays tribute to the original Willys MB, the military vehicle first launched in 1941. The special edition model boasts various design features that evoke the original Jeep, while also integrating modern technology and comfort.
## Exterior Design: A Salute to Heritage
The exterior of the 2025 Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 Special Edition truly showcases the tribute to the original Willys MB. Jeep designers have meticulously shaped the vehicle to capture the essence of the 1941 Willys, while still preserving the robust, contemporary aesthetic of the Wrangler.
A standout feature is the “Willys” decal adorning the hood, a clear nod to the original Willys MB. Additionally, the special edition is adorned with a “1941” badge on the fenders, reinforcing the link to Jeep’s military lineage. The vehicle is offered in a variety of heritage-inspired colors, including Sarge Green, Gobi, and Sting-Gray, all echoing the military shades found on the original Willys MB.
The Willys ’41 Special Edition is also fitted with 17-inch black-painted wheels wrapped in 33-inch mud-terrain tires, heightening its off-road capabilities and giving it a rugged, determined posture. The black grille, LED headlights, and fog lights contribute a contemporary flair, while the rock rails and steel bumpers ensure the vehicle is equipped for serious off-road challenges.
## Interior: Contemporary Amenities with a Classic Flair
Within the 2025 Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 Special Edition, Jeep has seamlessly combined modern technology with retro-inspired design features. The interior is outfitted with black cloth seats that feature “Willys” embroidered on the headrests, subtly acknowledging the vehicle’s legacy. The dashboard and door panels showcase vintage-inspired trim, while the all-weather floor mats are emblazoned with the classic Jeep grille logo.
Despite the nostalgic accents, the Willys ’41 Special Edition is replete with current conveniences. The Uconnect 5 infotainment system is standard, providing a large touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and navigation. The vehicle also includes a premium audio system, dual-zone climate control, and various driver-assistance technologies such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
## Off-Road Performance: Designed for Exploration
As with every Jeep Wrangler, the 2025 Willys ’41 Special Edition is engineered to conquer challenging landscapes. The 4xe powertrain not only delivers remarkable power and torque but also facilitates nearly silent off-roading in electric mode, a feature highly regarded by off-road enthusiasts. The vehicle is outfitted with Jeep’s Selec-Trac full-time 4WD system, ensuring superb traction across diverse conditions.
The Willys ’41 Special Edition also features a limited-slip rear differential, heavy-duty shocks, and skid plates to safeguard the undercarriage. The 33-inch mud-terrain tires provide exceptional traction on rugged trails, while the rock rails and steel bumpers offer enhanced protection when navigating difficult terrain.
Moreover, the 4xe’s regenerative braking system captures energy during descents, which can be utilized to recharge the battery. This feature not only boosts efficiency but also enhances the vehicle’s off-road performance by allowing for greater control during steep declines.
