“Most significant investment in the Mini brand since 1959.” That line’s been repeated frequently this year as Mini has refreshed its entire 11-model lineup—and we just got a chance to drive one of the last to arrive: the 2025 Mini Cooper Convertible. The Hardtop 2-Door is mostly new from the ground up, but the design changes are icon-incremental (see Porsche 911).

Tease that hair, pause your hacky-sack game, drop that Rubik’s Cube and take a ride back to the ’80s. No hot tub time machine needed. For Easter Jeep Safari 2025, the brand is all-in on Wranglers and Gladiators, building three concepts around military, modern, and retro themes. One glance clearly identifies this 2025 Jeep Rewind as the totally awesome ’80s retrotastic one of the three.

This Gladiator is optimized for would-be weekend warriors. For Easter Jeep Safari 2025, the brand is focusing entirely the WranGladiator universe, with three concepts that built around military, modern, and retro themes. The Gladiator-based Jeep Convoy concept goes for a generic military field-commander vibe, featuring canvas doors, a canvas top, and a bright-aqua interior accent color, inspired by military fighter jet interiors.

This overland build might look minimalist, but you can sling some hammocks in there, net up, and sleep in the open. For Easter Jeep Safari 2025, the brand is focusing entirely the WranGladiator universe, with three concepts that built around military, modern, and retro themes. This Wrangler Unlimited 4xe-Rubicon-based model is the “modern” installment, and it slots in as the third in a series of camping-optimized concepts that started with the 2019 Jeep Wayout and 2021 Jeep Farout.

Here are the seven concepts with which Jeep will be wrangling and gladiating the crowds at this year’s Easter Jeep Safari. Avid Jeep off-roaders started gathering in Moab around springtime back in the early 1960s, and by the mid-’60s the Easter Jeep Safari officially became "a thing," becoming a weeklong festival by the 1980s. Jeep, the brand, has been involved since the beginning, using it as an opportunity to show off new products and accessories, design concepts, paint colors and more.
