The annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah is a legendary gathering for off-road enthusiasts and Jeep lovers. This year, Jeep is showcasing four new concept vehicles that push the boundaries of design and capability. Let’s take a closer look at these innovative rides:
Jeep Wrangler Low Down Concept: A Modern Take on a Classic
This concept pays homage to the beloved Lower 40 concept from 2009. It boasts massive 42-inch tires, a powerful 475-horsepower 6.4-liter V-8 engine, and a streamlined design for optimal off-road performance. The shortened bumpers and custom fender flares keep the center of gravity low, while the lifted suspension provides impressive ground clearance.
Jeep Wrangler 4xe Willys Dispatcher Concept: Blending Past and Future
This Wrangler merges classic Jeep design with cutting-edge hybrid technology. The exterior features a retro makeover with vintage wheels, a classic Warn winch, and “WILLYS” lettering on the hood. The interior gets a stylish upgrade with distressed leather and houndstooth cloth seats. Under the hood lies the award-winning 2.0-liter plug-in hybrid 4xe powertrain, delivering both power and efficiency.
Jeep Gladiator Rubicon High Top Concept: Built to Conquer Any Terrain
This concept truck is designed for serious off-road adventures. The bold exterior features massive tires, custom fender flares, and a lifted suspension system. Dana 60 axles and a powerful V-6 engine provide the muscle to tackle any challenge. The modified front bumper with a winch and rock rails offer additional protection and functionality. Inside, the cabin boasts custom leather seats and a JPP sun bonnet for added comfort. A decked-out truck bed storage system provides ample cargo space for all your gear.
Jeep Vacationeer Concept: Luxurious Adventure Awaits
This premium concept SUV combines comfort and capability. The elegant exterior features a nostalgic woodgrain graphic reminiscent of classic Jeep Wagoneers. Forged for off-roading, it has 35-inch mud-terrain tires, a front-mounted winch, and skid plates for underbody protection. The real showstopper is the custom rooftop tent, a climate-controlled oasis perfect for stargazing or enjoying the scenic views. The spacious interior features custom leather seats designed by renowned fashion designer Kiel James Patrick, and a bed-lined cargo floor for easy cleaning. A powerful 3.0-liter Hurricane Twin Turbo engine delivers impressive performance.
While these concepts are undeniably eye-catching, they also serve a greater purpose. Jeep designers use the Easter Jeep Safari as a testing ground for new ideas and technologies. Feedback from enthusiasts helps Jeep gauge interest and refine these concepts for potential future production. So, while you might not see these exact vehicles on the road anytime soon, the Easter Jeep Safari is a glimpse into the exciting future of Jeep design.
