Jeep has unveiled the retro-inspired Gladiator and Wrangler Rewind. Both sport a throwback design with old school graphics and golden touches. Models have Nappa leather seats featuring 8-bit inspired embossing. Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve campaign continues as the brand has taken the wraps off the new Gladiator and Wrangler Rewind. They’re billed as a “vibrant throwback” to the ‘80s and ‘90s. Previewed by a concept at the 2025 Easter Jeep Safari, the production special editions are like jazz design cups in automotive form. As a result, they have a “limited‑run exterior color palette” as well as “graphics inspired by the bold hues and patterns of the mixtape and roller skate era.” Choices include Bright White, Granite Crystal, Anvil, Black, Reign, Hydro Blue, Earl Gray, and Joose. They’re joined by red and blue stripes as well as a matching hood decal with “Rewind” badging. Buyers will also find body-color fender flares, a retro spare tire cover, and golden accents on the wheels and tow hooks. The models also come equipped with steel rock rails and off-road tires. The upgrades continue inside with Nappa leather seats featuring Iced Blue and Plum accents as well as “embossed patterns influenced by classic 8‑bit arcade graphics.” The latter include a backrest with the silhouette of what appears to be a Willys MB. Elsewhere, there’s contrast stitching and a shift knob cap with a unique dot matrix-inspired design. There are also special plaques as well as all-weather floor mats. The special editions will go up for order next month and cost $1,900 more than a comparably equipped Willys model. There’s no word on specifics, but the four-door Wrangler Willys starts at $44,940, while the Gladiator retails for $45,750. While the special editions will be expensive, they’ll come nicely equipped with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. They’ll be joined by LED lighting units, remote start, and a passive entry system. Buyers will also find a locking rear diff, a trailer hitch, and adaptive cruise control.
