Jeep has launched a special edition of the Wrangler in India – the Willys ’41 Limited Edition – priced at Rs. 73.24 lakh (ex-showroom). Paying tribute to the iconic 1941 Willys, this rugged SUV will be available in extremely limited numbers, with only 30 units up for grabs. Here’s a closer look at what makes the Willys ’41 Edition a collector’s delight.
Design
This limited edition Wrangler draws inspiration from Jeep’s rich history, particularly the original 1941 Willys that played a major role during World War II. Based on the Rubicon variant, the Willys ’41 gets a distinctive ‘1941’ decal placed on the hood, giving it a strong visual connection to its roots.
It also introduces a brand-new exterior paint option called ’41 Green’. This exclusive shade captures a military-inspired feel and adds a bold new identity to the already aggressive Wrangler design. Buyers can also opt for other standard Wrangler colour options, making it both versatile and nostalgic.
Features
Jeep has added several extras to the Willys ’41 Edition to enhance functionality and cabin experience. These include power side steps that make entry and exit easier, especially considering the vehicle’s tall stance. Inside, you’ll find practical grab handles and durable floor mats, both suited for off-road adventures.
Another handy inclusion is the front and rear dashcams – a thoughtful touch that not only enhances safety but also allows enthusiasts to record their off-road excursions.
Accessories
If the standard package isn’t exclusive enough, Jeep is offering an optional accessories pack at a special price of Rs. 4.56 lakh. This pack includes:
- Sunrider rooftop
- Side ladder
- Roof carrier
These additions are designed to improve the Wrangler’s utility, especially for long-distance travel and weekend getaways. Do note, however, that this package is available only with the Willys ’41 Edition and cannot be selected for standard Wrangler models.
Engine
Under the hood, nothing changes – and that’s a good thing. The Willys ’41 Edition carries forward the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine seen on the standard Jeep Wrangler. This engine delivers a solid 266bhp and 400Nm of torque. It’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and Jeep’s trusted four-wheel-drive system.
Here’s a quick look at the powertrain specs:
| Engine Type | Displacement | Power | Torque | Transmission | Drive System |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turbo Petrol | 2.0-litre | 266 bhp | 400 Nm | 8-speed Automatic | 4×4 (Four-wheel) |
Whether you’re cruising the city or tackling off-road terrain, the Willys ’41 Edition keeps the capability level high while offering a slice of Jeep history.
With only 30 units available in India, the Wrangler Willys ’41 Edition is clearly aimed at enthusiasts who want more than just performance – they want exclusivity and legacy. If that sounds like you, it might be worth checking this one out before it’s gone.
