Jeep has given us a peek at the upcoming all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S, with a handful of interior photos for good measure.
Jeep announced its transition to electric vehicles in mid-2022 with the promise of four fully-electric SUVs for the North American and European markets by 2025.
The lineup would consist first of the Jeep Avenger 4xe in Europe, followed by a fully electrified version of the iconic Wagoneer in the United States – a revisioning of the industry’s “first” modern SUV that the company released back in 1963.
The good news for Australia is that Jeep quickly revealed that it would be introducing three of its new EVs into Australia over the next few years, starting with the Avenger, Recon, and Wagoneer S.
Jeep has said that the Wagoneer S will offer an aerodynamic design and 4×4 capability as standard and all-terrain management. Underneath the hood, the Wagoneer S will offer 600hp and a targeted range of 400 miles, or around 650 kilometres.
“We’ll delight our customers with a premium, highly efficient SUV that is loaded with technology and high quality craftmanship, offering 4×4 capability, high performance, rapid acceleration and a target range of 400 miles on a single charge,” says Christian Meunier, Jeep brand CEO.
While Jeep isn’t giving us much more in the way of technical details, we can now get a sneak peek into the interior with two new avant garde-style photos.
According to Jeep, the new Wagoneer S will feature inside “premium technology seamlessly integrated with meticulously crafted artisan details”.
“Mindful materials and design-focused features include a tailored driver control centre with a unique Jeep brand-exclusive Selec-Terrain toggle and dynamic, colour-selectable ambient lighting,” the company went on to add.
“The Jeep Wagoneer S will also feature a standard dual-pane panoramic sunroof and, expanding the Jeep brand’s exclusive collaboration with McIntosh, will offer a discerningly tuned, segment-exclusive, 19-speaker, premium flagship McIntosh audio system.”
