Exterior and Design:

The exterior design pays homage to the Wagoneer SUV, featuring large muscular proportions, square wheel arches and the iconic illuminated 7-slat grille. A full-width LED bar has been included at both the front and rear of the SUV, adding to its distinctive styling. As an electric SUV, it may include a frunk for additional storage.

Powertrain and Platform:

Built on the STLA Large platform, the Wagoneer S is part of Jeep’s commitment to electric mobility. Although specific powertrain details have not been revealed yet, the SUV is expected to deliver 600hp, which can accelerate from 0 to 97kph in around 3.5 seconds. The STLA Large platform is designed to accommodate a variety of battery packs ranging from 85 to 118 kWh, providing flexibility in configurations such as front-wheel, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Jeep Compass EV:

Although the availability of the Wagoneer S in India is unconfirmed, Jeep India is planning to launch an electric version of the Compass in 2026. The model will be built on the STLA Medium platform, offering front-wheel and four-wheel drive layouts, along with a claimed range of over 700 km.

Jeep’s entry into the electric SUV market with models like the Wagoneer S reflects the brand’s commitment to adopting sustainable mobility solutions.
