Jeep Wagoneer S Unveiled: An Electrifying American Alternative to the Range Rover Velar

In a recent turn of events, images of the highly anticipated all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S were inadvertently shared on Jeep's social media platforms before being swiftly removed. Despite the deletion, the digital world ensured their permanence, offering the public an early peek at this groundbreaking SUV. Initially spotted by Mopar Insiders, these images emerged just a week after Jeep teased the vehicle, sparking widespread interest.

The Wagoneer S marks a departure from traditional Jeep designs, embracing a more streamlined and elegant aesthetic. This evolution in styling seems to draw inspiration from industry competitors, notably exhibiting elements reminiscent of Range Rover models. The rear profile bears a striking similarity to the Velar, while the intricate detailing echoes the Evoque's design. Additionally, the front fascia subtly nods to the Land Rover Range Stormer concept.

Aerodynamic efficiency is at the forefront of the Wagoneer S design, as evidenced by features like recessed door handles. The SUV also sports a distinctive rear spoiler that merges seamlessly with the roof trim, extending over the rear windshield. This design choice not only enhances the vehicle's sporty demeanor but also maintains a traditional SUV silhouette while offering a more modern, coupe-like profile. This could potentially improve range, albeit possibly at the expense of interior headroom.

The Wagoneer S also boasts an attractive two-tone paint option, a panoramic sunroof, and a faux front grille with Jeep's iconic seven-slot design, further enhancing its visual appeal.

Despite sharing the Wagoneer name, the electric iteration stands apart from its full-size counterparts, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. It aligns more closely in size with the Grand Cherokee, defying initial size expectations.

Jeep promises impressive performance with the Wagoneer S's dual-motor 4xe drivetrain, delivering an estimated 600 horsepower and a swift 0-60 mph acceleration in just 3.5 seconds. This suggests a focus on on-road performance for this electric vehicle.

However, true to its Jeep heritage, the Wagoneer S is equipped to handle mild off-road challenges, featuring a standard all-terrain management system. For those seeking a more robust electric off-roading experience, Jeep hints at the upcoming Recon model, also slated for release this year.

The Wagoneer S will be Jeep's debut fully electric vehicle in the U.S. market, following the Avenger EV in Europe. Production is set to take place at the Toluca Assembly Plant in Mexico. The vehicle is based on Stellantis' STLA Large architecture, which is expected to be the foundation for several new EVs by 2026.
