► New Jeep Wagoneer S SUV teased
► All-electric SUV with glowing grille
► Will use STLA-Large platform, up to 600hp
After Jeep gave us some healthy teasers of its all-new, battery-electric Wagoneer S, it’s given us a first look at the SUV’s design and interior.
The new Wagoneer S will likely be a similar size to its combustion and hybrid-powered Grand Cherokee, and the brand has confirmed that it will be one of the first cars to use the Stellantis group’s STLA-Large platform that’s designed for bigger, plusher EVs.
It still looks familiarly Jeep, with the brand’s seven-slot grille being blanked off and backlit in that very 2020s sort of way. Interestingly, the spoiler at the rear seems to pull away from the roofline, revealing that the Wagoneer S actually has quite a raked rear silhouette.
A couple of dark images of the interior have also been released, showing the new Wagoneer won’t stray too much from what’s expected of a Jeep at the plush end of the spectrum. A total of four displays can be seen; a driver’s instrument cluster, two central panels and even a display for the front passenger will be available (and will likely depend on spec).
Jeep has also confirmed some performance numbers. Jeep says the Wagoneer S will be available with up to 600 horsepower and will be able to accelerate to 60mph in just 3.5sec.
The Wagoneer S will be the second of three EVs being launched by Jeep for markets around the world; the first was the baby Avenger and the third will the Recon – a rougher, tougher Wrangler-adjacent 4×4. Christian Meunier, former boss of the Jeep brand, told CAR in 2023: ‘It’s amazing to know these two babies are based on the same platform, but it’s a day-and-night difference – one is a rocket and the other is a brick on wheels!’
The brand says its new Wagoneer S will first go on sale in the US market towards the end of 2024, before going on sale in more markets around the world from 2025.
