1. An Ode To The WWII Willy Legacy
The Jeep Wrangler Willys '41 Special Edition pays homage to the brand's military heritage, drawing inspiration from the original Willys MB that went into production in 1941. Based on the top-spec Rubicon trim, this limited-edition model stands out with a unique '41 Green' paint shade, a nod to the military green finish of the original Willys Jeep. A prominent '1941' decal on the hood further highlights its historical roots. Along with its exclusive colourway, the Willys '41 Special Edition gets distinctive accessories that add a bespoke touch and differentiate it from the regular variants.
2. Jeep Wrangler Willy 1941- Feature Add-Ons
This Special Edition is equipped with several functional add-ons tailored for adventure, including motorised side steps, upgraded grab handles inside the cabin, durable all-weather floor mats, and both front and rear dashcams. For those looking to enhance the SUV's rugged appeal even further, an optional package priced at Rs 4.65 lakh adds a sunrider roof, side-mounted ladder, and roof carrier, amplifying both utility and visual impact.
3. Engine Kept On Duty
The Jeep Wrangler Willys '41 Special Edition draws its power from the same engine that propels the standard Jeep Wrangler, a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol unit. This motor delivers a robust 270 bhp and 400 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It also features a full-time 4x4 drivetrain, ensuring strong off-road performance and all-terrain capability.
4. Pricing
The Jeep Wrangler Willys '41 Special Edition carries a price tag of Rs 73.16 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it Rs 1.51 lakh above the standard Wrangler model. For those looking to further enhance its rugged appeal and functionality, Jeep also offers an optional accessories package priced at Rs 4.56 lakh, available for a limited time under a special offer.

5. Limited Unit Run
Now for the exclusivity, Jeep has made only 30 units of this special edition, which is an attempt to modernise a piece of history and preserve it on the current models, and also a homage to the combat legacy that the brand proudly flaunts. This also means that while you make up your mind for one, there won't be any left!
Verdict
The Jeep Wrangler Willys Edition is a niche, collector-focused offering that blends heritage-inspired design with the hardcore off-road capability of the Rubicon trim. With its exclusive paint scheme, retro-themed decals, and a limited production run of just 30 units, it's clearly aimed at Jeep enthusiasts, and those who value uniqueness as much as functionality. While it doesn't introduce mechanical upgrades over the standard model, it adds visual flair, adventure-ready accessories, and a strong dose of nostalgia, which will be enough to make sure this limited run rolls out quickly off the showrooms.
