Jeep Converts Fan-Favourite Concept into Production with ‘Rewind’ Editions of Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator
AUBURN HILLS: Stellantis has brought a widely celebrated concept from the Easter Jeep Safari to the production line, introducing the 2026 “Rewind” special editions of the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator.
First revealed as a concept vehicle in 2025, the retro-themed design quickly gained traction among enthusiasts, leading Jeep to develop it into a limited-edition offering.
Retro Identity Meets Contemporary Performance
The Rewind editions revive the bold aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s, incorporating vibrant colour schemes, vintage-style graphics and playful design cues, while maintaining the performance and engineering standards of modern Jeep vehicles.
Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf said the project reflects the brand’s commitment to blending nostalgia with innovation.
Distinctive Styling and Premium Details
Externally, the models feature eye-catching graphics, gold-accented wheels and tow hooks, along with rugged off-road tyres and steel rock rails.
Inside, the retro theme is carried through Nappa leather seating with 8-bit-inspired embossing, colourful stitching and design elements influenced by early digital and arcade culture.
Custom interior accents, including unique gear shift details and branded plaques, further enhance the nostalgic appeal.
Equipped for Modern Driving and Off-Roading
Despite their classic styling, the Rewind editions include modern features such as digital driver displays, heated seats and steering wheel, remote start and advanced safety systems.
They also retain Jeep’s signature off-road capabilities, including locking rear differentials and dedicated terrain modes.
Limited Availability Under Special Series
The Wrangler and Gladiator Rewind editions will be available for order starting in May, with a price premium of US$1,900 over comparable Willys models.
The release is part of Jeep’s “Twelve 4 Twelve” campaign, which introduces a series of limited-edition models celebrating the brand’s heritage.
