Jeep Wagoneer S EV: Aussie-bound SUV officially revealed

UPDATE: FULL DETAILS FOR AUSSIE-BOUND SUV CONFIRMED

The Jeep Wagoneer S has officially launched in America, revealing an all-new electric SUV with 600hp and more than 45-inches of interior screens.

Jeep calls the Wagoneer S its first “global battery-electric vehicle” and it’s due to hit Aussie showrooms in the second half of 2026. Deliveries will kick off first in the United States and Canada later this year, before global exports begin.

Built on Stellantis’s fresh ‘STLA Large’ architecture, the Wagoneer S packs 600hp (447kW) and “more than” 800Nm, which Jeep says is enough to propel it from 0-98km/h in 3.4 seconds.

Kerb weight is rated at 2570kg while the Wagoneer S’s braked towing capacity is 1542kg.

Twin-electric motors are fed by a 100kWh battery pack, while range is rated at 300 miles (480km) on the US cycle. Despite only using a 400-volt architecture, Jeep says the Wagoneer S can achieve a 20-80 per cent recharge in 23 minutes on a DC fast charger.

A focus on aerodynamics helps the Wagoneer S to eke out as much distance as possible between charges, with Jeep claiming its new SUV is its most aerodynamically efficient vehicle yet. Notable aero touches include an enclosed (and illuminated) seven-slot front grille, a curved bonnet and windscreen, the cantilevered rear spoiler and an ‘integrated system of underbody shields’. The door handles are also flush which helps to achieve a Cd rating of 0.29.

The twin-motor powertrain allows for four-wheel drive and there’s a host of drive modes: Auto, Sport, Eco, Snow and Sand.

Inside you’ll find loads of touchscreens that allow for “45-inches of usable screen space”, heated/ventilated seats and a 19-speaker, 1160w McIntosh sound system.

We’ll need to wait a while for official Aussie specifications on the Wagoneer S. Once we have them, we’ll update this story accordingly.

February 2: Official at last

The drip-feed reveal of the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S continues, but this time we have some official images and new info from Jeep itself.

After several leaked images were published to social media, these official shots give us our closest look yet at the electric Wagoneer’s sleek exterior and also provide the first glimpse of its screen heavy cabin.

Inside there are four screens on the dash: one digital instrument cluster, a large centre screen that displays old-school gauges, another screen lower on the centre stack for the climate control, and a final screen in front of the passenger that looks like it can play movies/video clips.

Jeep didn’t reveal much information with the images, so it’s unclear if the four screens will be fitted as standard or will be bundled into an option pack when it arrives in Australia some time in 2025.

Some information Jeep did confirm is that the Wagoneer S will include a standard dual-pane panoramic sunroof and a 19-speaker McIntosh sound system.

Ambient lighting, stitched leather surfaces and five drive modes also feature, with the images showing settings for Sand, Snow, Eco, Auto and Sport modes beneath a rotary-style shift knob.

Outside, the Wagoneer S is almost identical to what we saw in the leaked images but we can now see there is a second spoiler along the bottom edge of the rear glass to complement the prominent spoiler that extends from the roof life.

No other details have been confirmed about the powertrain, although it has been previously confirmed the Wagoneer S will ride on Jeep’s all-new STLA-Large platform and produce around 450kW.

Jan 23: Whoops! Images of the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S have leaked online.

Just days after Jeep shared the first shadowy teaser image of the Aussie-bound 2024 Wagoneer S, pictures of the full production vehicle have leaked online. And it was Jeep's own social media team that shared the shots.

Published in a short video to Facebook, which has since been removed, the fresh images show the front, side and rear of Jeep's upcoming electric SUV.

This particular car is finished in two-tone silver and black paintwork and features a full-width light bar and a uniquely designed roof spoiler.

Jan 21: Jeep has given us our first look at the Aussie-bound 2024 Wagoneer S and also confirmed some pretty potent performance figures.

Set to arrive Down Under in 2025, the Wagoneer S will feature an illuminated version of Jeep’s iconic seven-slot front grille and also produce up to 450kW.

That level of grunt will help propel the brand’s new electric SUV from 0-98km/h (60mhp) in just 3.5 seconds.

Need some context? A Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk hits three figures in a similar time, albeit in far more dramatic fashion thanks to its screaming supercharged V8.

The Wagoneer S is expected to be one of the first new models built on Jeep’s fresh STLA-Large platform, and is actually smaller than the petrol-powered Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs that Jeep already sells in America.

Instead, Jeep refers to the Wagoneer S as a ‘mid-size model’ meaning it’ll line-up against the likes of the BMW X5 and fresh Range Rover Sport, as well as other mainstream models with premium aspirations like the Volkswagen Touareg and Mazda CX-60 and CX-90. The bigger Kia EV9 is another competitor playing in the electric family SUV segment.

Styling wise the production Wagoneer S is impressively similar to the concept version which was shown in 2022 (pictured throughout). An EV-range of around 400 miles, or 640km, will be offered according to Jeep, however the brand is yet to confirm any details around battery size or recharging speeds.

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer S will begin production in America later this year, with Europe and other markets tipped to commence deliveries in 2025.
