Having seen the excitement around the Jeep Wrangler firsthand, I can say the Willys ’41 special edition truly stands out. Recently reintroduced in India, this limited-run version is positioned as a premium Rubicon variant, with only 41 units available in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 70.31 lakh, it comes in a distinctive ‘41 Green’ color with exclusive graphics and bold ‘1941’ hood decals, giving it a unique presence on the road. The latest allocation is restricted after the earlier edition launched in May 2025, which had just 30 units and sold out within seven days. Production has been capped, ensuring this special edition remains rare and collectible.
Price and Booking
From my experience following the Wrangler lineup closely, the Willys ’41 Rubicon variant brings a noticeable premium compared to the standard model, priced at Rs 2 lakh extra, while the Rubicon itself is currently available at Rs 68.31 lakh ex-showroom. Bookings are open through authorised dealerships and online channels, with deliveries expected to commence shortly. Compared to the earlier edition, the pricing structure has been revised, as the vehicle now commands a higher value, and the optional accessory package is priced at Rs 3.60 lakh, offering a chance to customize this unique edition further.
Style and Design
From my hands-on observation, the edition draws inspiration from the 1941 Willys MB military vehicle, giving it a rugged yet iconic look. Each unit has the “One of 41” badge to highlight that it was made in a limited edition. The special edition comes in a dedicated ‘41 Green’ paint shade with ‘1941’ hood decal and unique Willys-themed graphics, while buyers can also choose standard Wrangler colours like Firecracker Red, Black, Bright White, Anvil Clear Coat, and Billet, letting each vehicle stand out in its own way.
Ultimate Features and Safety of the Jeep Wrangler Willys 41 Edition
The Willys ’41 edition truly impresses with its practical and off-road-ready features. It comes with powered side steps, front and rear digital video recorders, grab handles for occupants, and all-weather floor mats. Buyers can also choose an accessory pack that includes a Sunrider roof, roof carrier, and integrated ladder, making this SUV highly versatile. Inside, the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system runs Uconnect 5 and supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while automatic climate control, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and 12-way power-adjustable seats enhance comfort.
