Just a Ton of Photos of the 2023 Easter Jeep Safari Concept Rigs

Yesterday, we gave you all the details on the seven concept rigs Jeep built for this year’s Easter Jeep Safari, ranging from an all-electric Wrangler with 650 horsepower and a stick-shift to a restomodded 1978 SJ Cherokee with the guts from a plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe. Jeep gave us a ton of photos of these concepts, so we figured we’d put them all in one place for you to ogle. Enjoy!

1978 Jeep Cherokee 4xe Concept

Yep, that’s a charger plug at the base of the windshield of this 1978 Cherokee. Jeep found a vintage body and stretched and shaped it to fit over a 2022 Wrangler Rubicon 4xe chassis. The result: A plug-in hybrid ‘78 Cherokee.

The concept drawing is amazing.

The stripes scream ‘70s vintage, but I especially love the ventilated tailgate. The blue tow hooks let you know it’s a 4xe.

Inside, Jeep worked the modern Wrangler dashboard into the vintage body, and sprayed graffiti on the ceiling.

Jeep Wrangler Magneto 3.0 Concept

This is the third version of this concept: An all-electric Wrangler that still packs a six-speed manual transmission. Now it’s got 650 hp and 900 lb-ft of torque.

Jeep Scrambler 392 Concept

Like the original CJ8 Scrambler, this is a short-bed pickup built on Wrangler bones — in this case, the bones of a formerly four-door Wrangler Rubicon.

Jeep stuffed a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 under the hood of this concept, hence the “392" name.

Jeep loves a loud plaid pattern, and I love that for Jeep.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe Concept

This one isn’t really so much a concept as it is a test bed: After the success of the one-year-only Tuscadero paint color in 2021 (a sort of purple-pink hue), Jeep wanted to see the reaction to an even more vivid pink/purple.

Jeep describes this color as “chromatic magenta,” and says designers “decided it was time to flip the color’s perception and make it a lot tougher than expected.”
