Jeep Wagoneer S Debuts: Electric SUV Promises Power, Range, and Luxury

Jeep is charging full speed ahead into the electric vehicle era with the reveal of the all-new, all-electric 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S. This groundbreaking SUV marks Jeep's first global battery-electric vehicle (BEV) and ushers in an exciting new chapter for the iconic American brand.

Launching first in the U.S. and Canada this fall before expanding to markets worldwide, the Wagoneer S seamlessly blends Jeep's legendary off-road capability with cutting-edge electric performance and style. It's a bold step forward that infuses nearly a century of Jeep innovation with modern electrification.

"The launch of the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S marks a new chapter in the storied history of the Jeep brand," said Antonio Filosa, Jeep brand CEO. "This first global EV will introduce a whole new generation of owners to an experience that is distinctly Jeep and 100% electric in every way."

Electrifying Performance and Capability 

Under the hood (or lack thereof), the Wagoneer S packs a powerful electric punch. Its dual electric drive modules generate a whopping 600 horsepower and 617 lb-ft of instant torque. This allows for lightning-quick 0-60 mph acceleration in just 3.4 seconds. Not lacking in range, Jeep estimates over 480 km on a single charge.

But the Wagoneer S is far more than a straight-line speed demon. Equipped with Jeep's legendary Selec-Terrain traction management system, it offers five distinct drive modes (Auto, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand) for supreme confidence over any terrain. A standard all-electric 4x4 system ensures grip and capability that lives up to the Jeep name.

The 400V, 100kWh battery pack allows DC fast charging from 20-80% in just 23 minutes. Plus, every Wagoneer S comes with a 48A level 2 home charger or public charging credits through Stellantis' Free2move Charge network.

Cutting-Edge Design Inside and Out

With its sleek aerodynamic styling and reimagined seven-slot LED grille, the Wagoneer S cuts an imposing stance on the road. The Launch Edition model ups the curb appeal further with gloss black accents, 20" wheels, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof.  

Slip inside and you're greeted by a true twin-cockpit luxury experience. The headline feature is over 114 cm (45 inches) of usable high-def screen space, including a segment-exclusive 10.25" interactive front passenger display. This partners with the latest Uconnect 5 infotainment system offering improved visuals and responsiveness.

The driver experience is further elevated by the stunning 12.3" digital gauge cluster providing dynamic range mapping, battery status, and BEV-specific menus. Comfort comes from premium heated/ventilated Nappa leather seats, while a 1,200W 19-speaker McIntosh audio system delights audiophiles.

Throughout the cabin, modern luxury touches like wine red accent stitching, metal trim, and soft recycled materials abound. It's clear Jeep's designers sweated every detail in crafting a true premium electric environment.

Smart, Safe, and Future-Proof

As you'd expect from a truly modern EV, the Wagoneer S packs a full suite of advanced driver aids to keep you safe and secure. Over 170 available features include Active Driving Assist, Intersection Collision Assist, Drowsy Driver Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and a Surround View camera system.

Better still, the Wagoneer S is future-proofed with over-the-air (OTA) update capability. This flexible architecture will allow Jeep to continuously roll out new automated driving features, performance enhancements, and other innovations over time.

Efficient by Design

Aside from its efficient electric driveline, the Wagoneer S integrates clever aerodynamic design to maximize range and battery efficiency. With a class-leading 0.29 Cd drag coefficient, it slips through the air better than any Jeep before. Design details like an angled roof and liftgate spoiler, flush door handles, underbody shielding, and aero-optimized wheels all contribute to this impressive slipperiness.  

Electrified Future

The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S is an electrifying (pun intended) leap into the future for this iconic American brand. While honouring its off-road heritage, this cutting-edge EV charts an exciting new path of performance, luxury, and efficiency for the beloved Jeep nameplate.

With the Wagoneer S leading the charge, it's clear that the road ahead for Jeep is one powered by electricity - but one still very much trail rated. Pricing starts at $91,790 in Canada when the first units arrive this fall. For Jeep fans ready to embrace an electric future, the wait is finally over.
