Jeep Wagoneer S to break cover on May 30

Jeep has confirmed that the production version of the Wagoneer S will be officially unveiled on May 30th in New York City. The Wagoneer S is the brand's first global BEV. It will be launched first in the United States and then in Canada. As of now, Jeep has no plans to bring the Wagoneer S to the Indian market.

The Wagoneer S is based on the STLA Large Platform that was unveiled back in January. The new platform enables capabilities such as battery packs of up to 118 kWh, charging efficiency of up to 4.5 kWh per minute and acceleration time of 0 to 100 kmph of around 2 seconds. As of now, there is no word on the official claimed range figure of the Wagoneer S. However, it is expected that the electric SUV would be able to deliver around 500-650 km on range on a single charge.

A few of the design elements of the Wagoneer S are taken from the iconic 1963 Jeep Wagoneer. The Jeep Wagoneer S will also feature a standard dual-pane panoramic sunroof. There would be a 19-speaker McIntosh audio system. There would be no ICE-powered version of the Wagoneer S. It would come with 4xe all-terrain capability as standard. The power output will stand at 600 horsepower and it would be able to sprint from 0-96 kmph in around 3.5 seconds.

The platform will be available with 400-volt and 800-volt architecture. A total of eight vehicles will be based on this new platform. It would be used to underpin car, crossover and SUV vehicle types in the D and E segments. Dodge and Jeep will be the first manufacturers to take advantage of the new platform followed later by Alfa Romeo, Chrysler and Maserati. The first vehicle to be based on the platform is the Wagoneer S whereas the rest of the vehicles will be launched between 2024 and 2026.
