Electric Jeep Wagoneer S Promises 600 HP, with Another EV on the Way

• Jeep reveals battery-electric Wagoneer S model, due on sale later in 2024, promising 600 hp and 3.5-second launches from 0 to 60 mph.

• The model is expected to offer a range of 400 miles when it lands here later this year, along with a dual-motor 4xe all-terrain system.

• The five-seat Wagoneer S will be joined by a smaller Jeep Recon battery-electric model this year.

Ahead of its official debut, Jeep has revealed the first clear look at the battery-electric Wagoneer S. Set to follow the Europe-only Jeep Avenger EV a bit further up on size spectrum, the 2025 Wagoneer S will be Jeep's first battery-electric offering in North America when it gets here later this fall.

What does the Wagoneer S promise?

A lot of power, first and foremost, with Jeep promising 600 hp along with 0-to-60 mph launches in around 3.5 seconds. And quite a bit of range as well, with a target of approximately 400 miles. This will place it among the longest-ranged SUVs currently on sale, with the long wheelbase buying it enough room for a battery expected to be sized far north of 100 kWh.

Being a Jeep, the model will be offered in dual-motor form with the brand's 4xe all-terrain system as a standard feature. So this won't be solely a luxury cruiser for the city.

The profile of the Wagoneer S makes clear this isn't an internal-combustion Wagoneer that has been given a battery, which perhaps will create confusion with the "4xe" moniker given to plug-in hybrid versions of the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee in recent years. Instead, Jeep is opting for a more compact, streamlined design, along with a unique front fascia that will bring the automaker into the EV age.
