Jeep shows teaser of the Wagoneer S
With the Plug-in Grand Cherokee, Jeep has rather hopped aboard an already-departed train, but with the Wagoneer S, they are arriving just in time: Currently, the market includes only the BMW iX, Audi Q8 e-tron, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, Nios ET7, and Tesla Model X. However, the number is growing. The Jeep Wagoneer S comes exclusively as a BEV and offers standard 4xe capability with All-Terrain Management and up to 600 hp, which should suffice for acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in under four seconds.
The designers have rather discreetly packaged the aerodynamic efficiency; the LED-illuminated grille, with the brand's characteristic seven slots, has been re-designed and re-thought. According to the press release, the new Jeep Wagoneer S is part of Jeep's ongoing global electrification initiative, "which transforms 4xe technology into the new 4x4 to realize the brand’s vision of achieving 'Zero Emission Freedom'."
The plan supports Stellantis’ goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions as set forth in the long-term strategic plan "Dare Forward 2030."
What does that mean?
Stellantis is currently phasing out the V8 Hemis with great fanfare, and one would have thought that the new electric Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles would create a buzz by the beginning of the year, but nothing. Instead, it looks like it will be the end of the year before the new US powerhouses go online, with the Wagoneer S likely being the most important one globally. The first impressions are strong - anticipation is high.
