The word Argo is used as a brand name of superior executive  train services, while the word Wilis is taken from the name of Mount Wilis which has an altitude of 2,169 meters above sea level and is a long mountainous level with its highest peak in the Bajulan, Nganjuk, East Java.

The train consists of 7-9 executive passenger coach, 1 dining car, and 1 power carriage. The train has capacity for 350-400  passengers. The train has received the latest series from INKA since its launch in 1998. However, because some of the 1998 executive freight trains were also allocated to the Argo Dwipangga, some 1995 executive trains owned by KA Argo Gede were often used especially if the train needs a long series. As of June 2018, Argo Wilis used trains that varied between Argo executive trains made in 1995, 1996, 1998 and 2002, and other trains, and often exchanged trains with Argo Parahyangan. Since June 8, 2018, KA Argo Wilis has officially used the latest executive train which has a 2018  stainless steel body made by PT INKA Madiun, complete with a new train and generator train. The train uses CC206 locomotive. Previously used locomotive were CC203, CC201, and CC204.
