FIRST LOOK: Jeep Wagoneer S – look out Range Rover? | Electrifying

#jeepwagoneers #jeepelectric #electriccars

Jeep has revealed the its first all-electric large SUV, the Jeep Wagoneer S.

It’s built on an all-new platform which will be shared with other cars in the Stellantis group, notable Alfa Romeo and Maserati. It will be aimed squarely at the upcoming Range Rover EV, as well as the Mercedes EQS SUV and BMW’s iX.

Jeep bosses are pitching the Wagoneer as a high performance SUV and are rather proud of the fact that it offers a 0-62mph time of under four seconds and can beat a Tesla Model Y in a drag-strip showdown. It comes with a 100kWh battery pack that Jeep claims will give the Wagoneer a range of around 300 miles. That seems a little low given that cars like the 77kWh Škoda Enyaq can muster 340 miles, but these are early figures based on the American EPA tests, which usually produce lower figures. All-wheel drive is standard on all models, while the output of both motors is rated at 600bhp.

The Wagoneer’s interior features what Jeep describes as ‘premium technology seamlessly integrated with meticulously crafted artisan details’. Quite. In reality, customers will get a standard dual-pane panoramic sunroof and, expanding the Jeep brand’s exclusive collaboration with McIntosh, a 19-speaker, premium audio system.

We’re expecting to get it in the UK next year and we’ll have a chance to drive it in left-hand drive form later this year. There’s no information yet on prices or UK specifications, but we expect it to start from around £65,000 when it arrives. That would put it up against cars like the Mercedes EQE SUV and Audi Q8 e-tron – which are good cars, but hardly selling in huge numbers.

Join Nicola as she elbows her way in to the international reveal to take a closer look at the new Wagoneer S. Is this a smart move from Jeep? Will it tempt drivers away from gas-guzzling luxury SUVs like the Range Rover? Let us know in the comments below.
