2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 2.0L AWD (270 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Based on the same sturdy chassis of the Wrangler JL, the 2024 Willys version was a nice surprise for the American automaker, which also came with a locking differential for the rear axle.

Jeep never abandoned its heritage and also bragged about its connection with the Willys. This sturdy 4×4 car helped the Allies win WWII. Over the years, even the styling of the Wrangler lineup resembled that vehicle, and apart from one generation, all others featured round headlights, for instance. In 2023, at the Easter Jeep Safari and at the NYIAS, the carmaker introduced the 2024 model year of the Wrangler Willys.

Like the rest of the Wrangler range, the Willys featured the new, smaller grille, which was integrated into the body-colored front panel. On the sides, the round headlights were pushed furthermore inside the bodywork and thus were protected by branches, bushes, and other off-road-specific obstacles. On its sides, the 33″ tires were new.

The interior was heavily upgraded with a new 12″ landscape-mounted touchscreen for the infotainment system. This Connect 5 unit replaced the former 8″ one and also featured Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The drivetrain was also improved with a Tru-Lok rear locking differential that was highly demanded by customers. In addition, the 4xe powertrain version came with the Selec-Trac full-time transfer case that added a low-range 2.71:1 ratio.
