LEANING INTO LEGACY WITH THE WILLYS '41 | 2025 JEEP WRANGLER 4XE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Jeep Wrangler Willys 41 4xe review highlights its strong connection to its heritage, offering an authentic take on the original Willys MB with unique styling cues like gloss black accents and steel bumpers. The reviewer praises its off-road capability, noting that even this trim offers impressive approach and departure angles, and commends the seamless integration of the plug-in hybrid system, providing ample power and decent electric range (21 miles EPA estimated) with nearly 50 MPG combined. However, the on-road experience is less refined. The reviewer criticizes the highway driving dynamics, citing a lack of on-center steering feel, constant fighting with the truck, and significant road noise. While the interior offers modern tech like a 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, the fit and finish are noted as not meeting modern car standards, and the price point of $72,000 as-tested is considered high for the interior quality. Despite its compromises, the Wrangler's core appeal remains its off-road prowess and unique character.
