- Jeep unveiled a pair of special editions meant to salute “the bold, expressive era of the ‘80s and ‘90s.”
- They’re the sixth release of a planned 12 special editions.
We’re all a little nostalgic for the ‘80s and ‘90s these days. Maybe it’s the relative global peace and stable economy. Maybe it’s the way we weren’t expected to be reachable 24/7 and knew how to be alone with our thoughts. Maybe it’s bright colors and squiggly pastel graphics.
Jeep can bring one of those things back.
The company is unveiling a new special edition every month for a full year. Many have been salutes to history – white-roofed models that recall Korean War era Jeeps, denim blue interiors that feel little 1977, and the like.
Its latest effort, the company says, is a salute to “the bold, expressive era of the ‘80s and ‘90s.” The Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator will each get a Rewind special edition for 2026.
They’re based on the mid-level Willy’s trim, but get steel rock rails, heated Nappa leather seats, and off-road tires.
They come in a range of colors, including Joose (orange), Hydro Blue, Earl (gray flecked with teal and blue), and our favorite, Reign (purple, of course). Over the paint sit “multicolor exterior graphics inspired by the bold hues and patterns of the mixtape and roller skate era.” Gold-accented wheels complete the look outside.
Inside, those Nappa leather seats feature “embossed patterns influenced by classic 8‑bit arcade graphics,” accent stitching in the era’s teals and purples, and a shift knob cap designed to look like a dot-matrix print.
Jeep says the models will be available in May, as a package that adds $1,900 to the price of each Willy’s model.
