While details are still under wraps, here's what we expect:

- Blue tow hooks paying homage to Jeep heritage
- Removable doors, though mirror placement could be improved
A glance inside reveals:
- Digital displays and a squared-off steering wheel
- A sleek, modern design compared to the Wrangler's retro style
- Minimal traditional switchgear, with a rotary gear selector and toggle for front anti-roll bar disconnection
- Noteworthy features: a lockable center-console bin, front passenger grab handle, and button-operated doors
Initially teased with removable glass, the prototype now features:
- A retractable cloth top
- Side-hinged tailgate
- A rear-mounted spare tire
