57 Easter Jeep Safari 2023: these are the seven concept cars that will be shown this year

Every year the Easter Jeep Safari is held in Moab (Utah), an event that brings together variants of different Jeep models, designed to demonstrate what can be achieved with these striking vehicles. And this year is no exception. This year it will take place between April 1 and April 9, and seven concept models of Jeep will be on display at the event.

These models rarely reach production, but they reveal what is already becoming a trend in this type of vehicle or what will soon be. Five of these models come from the brand itself, with variants designed by the brand’s design team. The other five are equipped with Mopar accessories. These are the seven concept models we will see at this year’s Easter Jeep Safari.

Wrangler Rubicon 4Xe

This model immediately stands out for its doors without windows. It also has a retractable roof, making it a very interesting convertible. The wheels are 37 inches and a AccuAir pneumatic suspension system has been added. This variant has many hurdles to clear before reaching production, although it is not known when that will happen.

Wrangler Magneto 3.0

This is the prototype of the Wrangler Magneto, on which the design team has worked to shape the production electric model. This variant rides on 40-inch wheels. The battery has a capacity of 70 kWh, which gives it a range 20% greater than the production model. It delivers an average output of 260 CV, though it can peak at up to 650 CV. One of its features, which will not be on the production model, is the manual gearbox.

Jeep Cherokee 1978 4Xe Concept

This is a version of the 1978 Jeep Cherokee, which keeps the design of its bodywork. But the interior is that of a Jeep Rubicon 4Xe. The presented model dispenses with rear seats, which increases cargo space and allows a 37-inch spare wheel to be carried.

Wrangler Rubicon 392

This version is powered by a 6.4-litre V8 engine used in the production model. The bodywork has undergone several changes using carbon fibre to shed 200 kg from the vehicle’s total weight. The rear comes from the Jeep Gladiator and has been fitted with 40-inch wheels and the AccuAir suspension.

Jeep Grand Wagoneer Overland Concept

This model is a short-wheelbase Jeep Wagoneer with the Hurricane engine, a 3.0-litre twin-turbo unit. A tent with carbon fibre elements has been installed on the roof, accessed through the rear seats’ sunroof. It is equipped to spend a few days outdoors and therefore includes very practical features.

Jeep Wrangler Sideburn Concept by Mopar

This Jeep Wrangler has been equipped with the best Mopar has to offer for an off-roader and is ready to enjoy the open countryside. Bull bars and bumpers, together with tyres designed for off-road use, allow it to tackle the most difficult terrain.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4Xe Departure Concept

This variant of the Wrangler Rubicon is bolder. It features doors made of bars, an option available in the United States. The windscreen folds down and the auxiliary lights swivel so they always illuminate the way ahead. The spare wheel can be mounted in the traditional position or on the inside. This achieves a greater departure angle.
