2025 JEEP WRANGLER WILLYS 4XE: START UP, TEST DRIVE & IN DEPTH REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Jeep Wrangler Willys '41 4xe is presented as a special edition that pays homage to the original Willys MB with unique styling cues, including an olive drab-inspired paint and decals. The review highlights the vehicle's robust off-road capabilities, enhanced by features like the Select-Trac 4x4 system, rear locker, and heavy-duty steel bumpers. The 4xe powertrain is detailed, offering a combined 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, with a focus on its hybrid nature, providing 21 miles of electric-only operation and an impressive 49 MPGe. While the interior offers a utilitarian yet functional design with heritage cloth seats and an olive drab dashboard insert, the reviewer notes a noticeable increase in wind and road noise compared to higher trims. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample storage and a versatile cargo area. The infotainment system is modern and user-friendly, and safety features are comprehensive, especially with optional packages. The reviewer concludes that while the Willys '41 4xe offers a unique aesthetic and strong off-road performance, some interior refinement and noise insulation could be improved.
