The Jeep brand has announced the launch of its first global battery-electric vehicle (BEV), the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S. The vehicle, set to debut in the U.S. and Canada in the fall of 2024, will later be available in international markets. The Wagoneer S is powered by a 600-horsepower engine and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. It offers a range of over 300 miles on a single charge. This model features the Jeep brand-exclusive Selec-Terrain traction management system, providing five driving modes for various conditions: Auto, Sport, Eco, Snow, and Sand.
The Launch Edition of the Wagoneer S will be distinguished by its black accents, a redesigned illuminated seven-slot grille, 20-inch wheels, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof. Inside, the vehicle boasts over 45 inches of screen space, including an interactive front passenger screen and a McIntosh 19-speaker audio system. Heated and ventilated seats are standard for both front and rear passengers.
The Wagoneer S includes a 400-volt, 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack, allowing for a 20-80% charge in 23 minutes using a DC fast charger. Each vehicle comes with a Level 2 home charger or public charging credits through Free2move Charge, ensuring convenient charging options for customers.
The vehicle is built on the STLA Large platform, optimized for BEV performance, with electric drive modules independently powering the front and rear wheels. The design focuses on aerodynamics, achieving a coefficient of drag of 0.29, the lowest for any Jeep vehicle. Exterior design elements include a sloping roofline, flush pocket door handles, and integrated rear spoiler, all contributing to improved efficiency.
The interior of the Wagoneer S emphasizes luxury and technology. Features include a fully digital cockpit, a cross-car wing sculpture, and a 12.3-inch center display with the Uconnect 5 system. The vehicle also offers a range of advanced safety and security features, such as Active Driving Assist, Intersection Collision Assist, and Drowsy Driver Detection.
The starting price for the Wagoneer S Launch Edition is $71,995, including destination charges. The vehicle qualifies for the Inflation Reduction Act Retail and Lease EV credits. Jeep Wagoneer S customers will be automatically enrolled in the Jeep Wave loyalty program, which includes maintenance and support services.
