  • Jeep has revealed its first EV, the Wagoneer S.

  • The all-electric Wagoneer gets a sleeker design than the gas-powered SUV.

  • The SUV will go on sale this fall with a starting price of $71,995.

We just got our first look inside the swanky new, all-electric Jeep SUV at an event in New York City.

The electric Wagoneer S is packed to the gills with tech and packs an impressive powertrain.

A screen-laden interior is made possible by parent company Stellantis's BEV-specific platform, which will underpin the Wagoneer S. The platform is also engineered to deliver zero to 60 mph acceleration in 3.4 seconds the company said.

The first launch edition of Wagoneers will cost $71,995, including delivery fees, when they hit dealer lots this fall.

Jeep has positioned the Wagoneer as the premium extension of the rugged SUV brand, and this EV appears to be no exception.

The company's press release highlights Wagoneer S's "meticulously crafted artisan details" and "tech-focused interior," which signal the electric SUV will follow in its gas-powered siblings' footsteps.

Take a look inside at the first fully electric Jeep:

From the outside, the Wagoneer S gets a face lift in comparison to its gas-powered counterparts.

The front end is more sculpted than the gas-powered Wagoneer's more squared-off nose, giving the Wagoneer S a more aerodynamic look.

A light bar across the front of the Wagoneer S illuminates the signature seven-slot grille.

Driver and passenger will each get a screen in the new Wagoneer S, following a trend among luxury EVs.

Two separate screens appear to control the infotainment and climate settings, separated by a color-customizable ambient lighting strip that carries through the rest of the cabin.

When Stellantis first announced the Wagoneer S earlier this month, the company said it would offer standard 4xe and all-terrain capabilities, living up to the Jeep name.

Stellantis also says the Wagoneer S will boast 600 horsepower and reach zero to 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds.

The SUV will be able to go 300 miles on a single charge, Jeep says.

The Wagoneer S is expected to go on sale later this year
