The Jeep Wagoneer S Proves You Don’t Have To Choose Between Tech And Trail Dust

The new electric car market is starting to feel a bit stagnant in the U.S., as many brands have shifted most of their focus from fully electric products to hybrids and PHEVs. Despite this, there are some impressive electric SUV options that you can consider in 2025, from brands that have developed somewhat of a proven track record in the relatively young market. A lot of brands are focusing on EVs that can really do it all, namely SUVs that really feel at home on the tarmac or off the beaten path. The Jeep Wagoner S is a recently introduced option to the market that perfectly suits this dynamic.

The Wagoneer S EV is the brand’s first all-electric model available in the U.S. market, as somewhat of an EV counterpart to the Grand Cherokee range. With the added benefit of a dual-motor electric drivetrain, the American brand can improve performance and efficiency and make it a very competent off-roader for adventurous enthusiasts who don’t want to own two vehicles. Thanks to technology supplied by the Stellantis group, the premium EV is also loaded with impressive tech features, bringing the historic moniker into a new era.

The Jeep Wagoneer S Is Made For Most Terrains

In True Jeep Fashion, It Will Go Almost Anywhere

The all-new Jeep Wagoneer S EV sits on the Stellantis STLA Large platform, meaning it sits on a front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension. Jeep does market this as a heavy-duty suspension, but we’ll take that at face value. To make the most of this suspension, you’re going to need to specify the optional Quadra-Lift air kit, which adds an adjustable ride height function with Normal Ride Height, Off-road One, Off-road Two, Park Mode, and Aero mode. There’s no reason to believe that the Jeep Wagoneer S won’t be any less capable than the Grand Cherokee. With the added benefit of electric motors producing instant torque, it may even be a more worthwhile option for you to consider if you want to engage in some serious off-roading without having to fork out lots of money for gasoline and drivetrain servicing.

2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Performance Specifications

The SUV features a pair of permanent-magnet-synchronous motors located on the front and rear axles, producing a combined 600 horsepower and 617 pound-feet if you specify the $2,500 Power Upgrade. Without this, the brand limits power to an equally reasonable 500 horsepower. It’s also worth noting that the 600-horsepower output is only available when you activate the launch control function, so it’s not a permanent figure. The result is an impressive 3.4-second 0-60 MPH time with a limited 124 MPH top speed. This acceleration is an astounding feat considering the Wagoneer S weighs in at 5,667 pounds. The brand also confirms that the SUV can haul a towing load of up to 3,400 pounds and a payload of 1,033 pounds.

Reasonable Efficiency With Impressive Range

Jeep offers the Wagoneer S with your choice of a Falken or Pirelli tire compound. The former returns a 36-kWh-per-100-mile combined consumption and 294-mile range estimate from the EPA, while the latter brings in a 39-kWh-per-100-mile and 270-mile range claim. These aren’t the most outstanding figures to be seen in the segment, but it’s a fair trade for the performance that you get to enjoy.

EPA Energy Consumption Estimates

The EPA also indicates that the Falken tire grade will help you save $4,500 in fuel every five years. You’ll spend $800 on electricity to recharge the 93.9-kWh nickel manganese cobalt battery every year, and spend $1.30 to drive the Wagoneer S 25 miles. Upgrading to the Pirelli tires decreases your five-year savings to $3,750 and increases your annual energy cost to $900, and the 25-mile driving cost to $1.46.

Pricing Starts At $65,200 For The Limited

The Launch Edition Sets You Back By $70,795

Pricing for the base Wagoneer S Limited kicks off at $65,200. This comes standard with 20-inch diamond alloy wheels in all-season tires and Neo Ultra seat upholstery with Fabric Welt, available in Black and Arctic or Global Black. Standard features include:

The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition is the only derivative available today, with a $70,795 starting price. Being somewhat of a special edition, you’ll find the standard equipment level to be quite preferable. The list includes dual-zone climate control with a rear HVAC system, heating, ventilation, massaging, and electrical adjustments for the front seats, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. There’s also no shortage of entertainment features, primarily thanks to the 45-inch digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen with HDMI connectivity. Jeep connects this to a comprehensive 19-speaker premium audio system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functions.

2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Interior Dimensions

The Wagoneer S’s only standard color option is the Bright White and Black combination scheme. Baltic Gray Metallic, Fathom Blue Pearl, Red Hot Pearl, Silver Zynith, and full Black paint schemes are all $595 options. Red seats will cost you $1,000, and if you want access to the towing functions, you need to specify the $995 trailer tow package. Jeep offers Neo Ultra Lux upholstery in black as standard. Being made in the U.S. and fulfilling all the requirements, the Wagoneer S is subject to the $7,500 Inflation Reduction Act tax rebate, making it even more of an appealing package. The destination fee is also a bit steep at $1,795.

The Wagoneer S’s Comprehensive Safety Equipment

Jeep makes no compromises when it comes to the Wagoneer’s standard safety equipment, with it including airbags for the driver and front passenger, front knees, curtains, and sides. Advanced driver assist systems include blindspot detection warning, forward collision warning with mitigation and left turn assist, and ParkSense with stop and side distance warning. You also get fully adaptive cruise control as standard.

The Wagoneer S’s Generous Standard Warranty

As standard, all Wagoneer S models include a basic 36-month or 36,000 bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 60-month or 60,000-mile drivetrain warranty, and 60 months or 60,000 miles worth of roadside assistance. Jeep covers corrosion perforation defects within 60 months with an unlimited distance. It also benefits from the industry-standard eight-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty.

The Wagoneer S is a brand-new EV that sits on a relatively new platform, so there’s no clear indication as to how reliable it is just yet. The model is subject to one recall from the NHTSA at the time of writing this piece, relating to a headlight vertical aim adjustment that is not accessible, which will obscure vision at night. The manufacturer plans to resolve this with new horizontal aim plugs. As of Q2 2025, Stellantis confirms that the Wagoneer S enjoys a 41-percent sales increase compared to the first quarter of this year. However, this only equates to 3,668 individual units sold, which is about 47,000 less than the Grand Cherokee’s figure. This year so far, the brand has confirmed a total of 6,263 individual unit sales.
