After stepping into the hybrid market with Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, Jeep has now entered the electric vehicle market in the USA with the Wagoneer S, which is basically a marriage of Jeep’s premium line SUV with an extremely powerful motor.
Wagoneer S is the first EV by Jeep in the US but globally the second EV after the Avenger which was launched in Paris in 2022. While focusing on the 4xe segment, Jeep is transforming its 4×4 symbol altogether as part of its electrification transition.
Jeep Wagoneer S expects to have a power output of around 600 horsepower which will allow it to do 0-100 KMPH in about 3.5 seconds.
Jeep Wagoneer S: Design
Jeep has revealed a teaser image of the Wagoneer S which has shown the prominent styling details of the SUV like the signature Jeep grille. It gets the same body shell as its ICE derivative, however, the overall design has been kept a secret. It can be deduced that the new electric SUV would further add on to the Wagoneer range and it surely will have upgraded features compared to its ICE counterparts.
In the teaser, a full length LED lightstrip has been shown which also luminates the exclusive seven slot Jeep brand grill. The company also claims the car to be four-wheel drive which might give us a hint about the possibility of two motors to be installed in the vehicle.
Jeep electrification strategy
As stated by Stellantis, launching the Jeep Wagoneer S is a step forward for the company towards their global electrification initiative by accomplishing zero emission freedom. The brand is in full support to accomplish this plan by 2038 as outlined in the company’s dare forward 2030 long-term strategic plan.
This whole electrification process has followed proper steps. First, by introducing plug-in hybrids to enhance their technology in the EV motor sector and second, to introduce different EV models within a few years. These all are speculation based on the teaser and information released by the company. Jeep Wagoneer S will hit the road in the US by fall this year.
