Design and Accessories of the Jeep Wrangler Willys ’41 Special Edition
The Wrangler Willys ’41 Special Edition is built on the high-end Rubicon variant and is presented in a unique “41 Green” color, reminiscent of the iconic military green used in the original Willys Jeep. The vehicle also bears a ‘1941’ decal on the hood, commemorating the year when the Willys MB, the military version of the Jeep, began mass production. While this special edition captures attention with its unique color, it is also available in standard Wrangler colors such as white, black, red, and grey.
The Wrangler Willys ’41 Special Edition is equipped with powered side steps, updated interior grab handles, all-weather floor mats, and front and rear dashcams, which are practical additions for off-road journeys. For an extra cost of Rs 4.65 lakh, customers can enhance their vehicle with a sunrider rooftop and a side ladder equipped with a roof carrier, perfect for adventurers.
Powertrain and Specifications of the Jeep Wrangler Willys ’41 Special Edition
Mechanically, the Wrangler Willys ’41 Special Edition remains unchanged, maintaining its powertrain of a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that delivers 270hp and a peak torque of 400Nm. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a full-time 4×4 system.
Due to its exclusivity, this model appeals significantly to Jeep enthusiasts. Special edition vehicles in the premium segment typically perform well in sales, prompting other manufacturers such as JLR and Mercedes to create ‘India-special’ versions of models like the Range Rover and AMG G63.
