Just last week Jeep teased the Wagoneer S – but now the electric SUV is baring all in official images. The automaker's social media accounts accidentally posted photos of the first US-bound EV. These were taken down not long after, but someone acted fast and downloaded the images from Facebook before they vanished.
The folks from Mopar Insiders got a hold of images depicting the Wagoneer S electric SUV in production guise. It looks like a spitting image of the same concept from 2022 (pictured below) and dare we say it has strong Range Rover Velar vibes.
Jeep will sell the Wagoneer S as an electric vehicle only, with the US to get the posh zero-emission SUV this fall. It won't be exclusive to North America, though. In the US, it'll sit alongside the gas-powered Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, both of which are optionally offered with a longer wheelbase.
The 2025 Wagoneer S will be sold with standard all-wheel drive, meaning it's going to have a pair of electric motors. With a confirmed combined output of 600 horsepower and what we can assume will be copious amounts of instant torque, the silent SUV will hit 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.5 seconds.
A few days ago, Jeep's parent company Stellantis disclosed comprehensive details of its new STLA Large Platform. Logic tells us that the Wagoneer S is going to use this architecture, especially since the company claims the first models are due to be rolled out in 2024. In fact, it explicitly says Jeep and Dodge will lead the way and these initial models will be launched in North America first. Eight EVs across five brands are scheduled to hit the market by 2026.
STLA Large has been engineered in 400- and 800-volt configurations with battery packs varying in capacity from 85.0 to 118.0 kilowatt-hours. Sedans will deliver up to 500 miles of range but with SUVs being inherently heavier, the efficiency is likely to be lower in the case of the Wagoneer S. Vehicles underpinned by this platform will be 187.6 - 201.8 inches long, 74.7 - 79.9 inches wide, and with a wheelbase of 113.0 - 121.1 inches.
Expect Jeep's electric SUV to get even quicker since Stellantis promises upgraded "propulsion system performance" courtesy of over-the-air updates. Although the Wagoneer S will be EV-only, the STLA Large platform intended for models in the D and E segments is going to support combustion engines and hybrid powertrains.
