Auburn Hills, Mich., March 25, 2024 – Jeep enthusiasts, gear up for an electrifying display of innovation and heritage as the iconic 4×4 brand, along with Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) by Mopar, dazzles the 58th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, with an avant-garde lineup of four concept vehicles. This year, from March 23-31, Jeep is set to captivate over 20,000 4×4 aficionados with a blend of cutting-edge technology and a salute to its storied past.
Bill Peffer, the senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America, expressed his excitement, stating, “Easter Jeep Safari is the ultimate gathering for showcasing our newest Jeep concepts, celebrating the world’s most revered 4×4 brand with enthusiasts who share our passion for adventure and innovation.”
The 2024 Easter Jeep Safari will see the unveiling of four unique concepts, each a testament to Jeep’s unrivaled off-road prowess and innovative spirit. The lineup includes:
- Jeep Low Down Concept: This modern marvel pays tribute to the iconic Jeep Wrangler Lower 40, reimagined with 42-inch mud-terrain tires and powered by a robust 475-horsepower 6.4-liter 392 V-8 engine. Its Poison Apple Red body and high-clearance fenders make it a sight to behold, blending raw power with ground-breaking design.
- Jeep Willys Dispatcher Concept: A nod to the post-war era with a futuristic twist, this Wrangler 4xe-based concept merges the nostalgic allure of early civilian Jeeps with the cutting-edge 4xe plug-in hybrid propulsion. Its Element 115 Green exterior and retro-inspired details bridge the gap between past and future.
- Jeep Gladiator Rubicon High Top Concept: Pushing the limits of midsize truck capability, this concept features a striking Ginger Snap metallic exterior, retro graphics, and is equipped with 40-inch All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires. It embodies the spirit of adventure with its enhanced off-road readiness.
- Jeep Vacationeer Concept: A luxurious SUV concept that combines the spirit of adventure with premium comfort. It boasts unique bodyside woodgrain graphics, a nod to the classic Wagoneer, and is equipped with a 3.0-liter Hurricane Twin Turbo 510 engine for unparalleled performance.
Mike Koval Jr, Mopar’s North America senior vice president, expressed his anticipation, “Returning to Moab with these breathtaking concept vehicles is a highlight for our Jeep Performance Parts team. We’re thrilled to demonstrate the capabilities of our latest custom parts and accessories on some of the world’s most challenging trails.”
These concepts are more than just vehicles; they are a homage to Jeep’s heritage, a showcase of its current innovations, and a glimpse into the future of off-roading. As the 58th Easter Jeep Safari unfolds, Jeep® and Mopar are once again proving that when it comes to conquering the trails, there’s nothing quite like a Jeep 4×4.
