Engine1.6 L supercharged I4

The Jeep Willys2 is a 2-door crossover from Jeep, built from 2001, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: 1.6 L supercharged I4.

Under the skin

Power comes from 1.6 L supercharged I4. It weighs 3000 lb. It shifts through a 4-speed automatic. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 96 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Honda Fit, the Volvo XC90, the Kia Sorento — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Jeep catalogue sit the Jeep Wrangler (JK) and the Jeep Wrangler (TJ).
