The Jeep brand of Stellantis in Auburn Hills has revealed its entry into the electrified SUV segment with its first global battery-electric vehicle (BEV) — 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S, which will launch first in the U.S. and Canada this fall and later be available in markets around the world.
The Jeep Wagoneer S is offered exclusively as a BEV with a range of more than 300 miles on a single charge, delivering 600 horsepower, a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 3.4 seconds and 617 lb.-ft of instant torque. These performance credentials are paired with the Jeep brand-exclusive Selec-Terrain traction management system, designed to instill driving confidence and traction for all weather and road conditions, according to the automaker.
“The launch of the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S marks a new chapter in the storied history of the Jeep brand,” says Antonio Filosa, CEO of the Jeep brand. “Building upon nearly a century of innovation and design, this first global EV will introduce a whole new generation of owners to an experience that is distinctly Jeep and 100 percent electric in every way.
“With new energy in the Jeep vehicle lineup, ranging from EV to V-8, customers have never had more freedom to choose their own adventure.”
Available in Jeep brand EV-certified dealerships starting in the second half of 2024, the Wagoneer S Launch Edition has a starting U.S. MSRP of $71,995 (including destination) and qualifies for the Inflation Reduction Act Retail and Lease EV credits.
To make charging the Jeep Wagoneer S easier, it carries an efficient 400-volt, 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack that allows owners to charge the vehicle from 20-80 percent in 23 minutes (with DC fast charger).
Every Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition includes a 48-amp Level 2 home charger or public charging credits through Free2move Charge, Stellantis’ 360-degree charging ecosystem, making it easy for customers to always be charged by delivering seamless charging and energy management. Wagoneer S customers can access the Free2move Charge app to search for charging stations, activate the charging session, and keep track of charging history.
The foundation for the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S is the BEV-native STLA Large platform. Jeep brand designers and engineers flexed the STLA Large platform to adjust the length, width, suspension, and powertrain configurations to tailor it specifically for the Jeep Wagoneer S to deliver instant torque and quick acceleration.
Standard, all-electric, four-wheel drive delivers composed driving dynamics both on-road and in a variety of road conditions. Stellantis-designed electric drive modules (EDMs) independently power the front and rear wheels for instant torque response, while the Jeep brand-exclusive Selec-Terrain traction management system features five distinct driving modes: Auto, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand.
The Jeep Wagoneer S’s 3-in-1 EDMs combine the electric motor, gearing, and power electronics into a single, compact unit that is both powerful and efficient. The front EDM is equipped with wheel disconnects to reduce energy draw when cruising and to help optimize range.
To improve the driving experience and reduce the overall noise and vibration levels to create a quiet interior cabin and a smooth ride, the Jeep engineering team improved body torsion stiffness by 35 percent over previous midsize-segment Jeep brand SUVs for superior ride, handling, and effective response to driver input.
Jeep designers say the SUV’s exterior design is an “intelligent combination of harmonious proportions, modern 4xe capability, and aerodynamic efficiency that reimagines the Jeep brand’s functional side for today’s electrification era.”
The front fascia is artfully punctuated by a reimagined, seven-slot grille, transforming the functionality of breathing to seeing. No longer needed to allow airflow and cooling, the enclosed grille now illuminates the line-of-sight when approaching the vehicle. New striking ambient cast-lighting is inspired by modern architecture and delivers a distinguishable appearance even miles down the road.
Debuting first for the 2024 model year, the Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition will be exclusively outfitted with elegant dark accent cues. Delivering style and customization straight from the factory, the Launch Edition features 20-inch Gloss Black wheels, as well as Gloss Black and dark neutral gray exterior elements throughout. Noticeably absent is the use of chrome, as the design team looked to incorporate more environmentally friendly processes and materials. Satin-painted accent trim and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof for an open-air experience round out the exterior appearance details.
As the pioneers and creators of the industry’s first modern luxury SUV, the iconic 1963 Jeep Wagoneer was a cut above the competition, breaking new ground and ushering in the widespread adoption of utility vehicles. Six decades later, the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S continues to push boundaries and evolve the iconic Jeep brand with a new embrace of technology, luxury, and innovation.
The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S’s tech-integrated interior features a best-in-class usable screen space of more than 45 inches, segment-exclusive interactive front passenger screen, artisan details, and elegant appointments.

In addition to revealing its new all-electric Wagoneer S SUV, Jeep has unveiled the Wagoneer S Trailhawk concept vehicle to push the limits of capability design.
The Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk concept is designed to easily transition from the pavement to off-roading terrain showcasing the flexibility of the STLA Large platform and Jeep Wagoneer S lineup.
“Like all Jeep brand SUVs, the new 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S descends from a rich heritage and is composed with legendary capability, innovative design and the flexibility to perform at its best both on- and off-road,” says Filosa. “The Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk concept vehicle, builds upon the flexible STLA Large platform, showcases what the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S lineup is truly capable of, whether cornering tight turns with ease or traversing new ground off the beaten path.”
The Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk concept is 100 percent electric. All-electric technology enhances the fun, freedom, and adventure that the Jeep brand is known for, while providing “unprecedented performance, uncompromised 4xe capability, and instantaneous torque,” says Jeep.
The Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk concept features all the capability of the new production vehicle and takes off-road exploration to the next level. The standard Selec-Terrain system’s Auto, Sand, Snow, Eco, and Sport is enhanced with Rock mode and a driver-selectable electronic rear axle locker. The trail-ready, four-wheel-drive concept vehicle also features rugged 31.5-inch all-terrain tires.
