Jeep Wagoneer S: UP TO 650 KM OF AUTONOMY, FROM 2024
Few details have been released, but the Jeep Wagoneer S is expected to offer a range of about 650 km. The automaker targets 600 horsepower, with just 3.5 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h). It will be sold starting in 2024 in the U.S., but it is also planned to be marketed in Europe and other parts of the world.
In terms of design, the Jeep Wagoneer S is different from the current Wagoneer range. The design differs from the existing version, particularly for energy efficiency reasons. This would allow Jeep to announce this high autonomy. Too bad we don’t know the battery’s size so we can have an idea about the consumption.
If the front of the vehicle takes up the brand’s signature, with the pretty grille equipped with an exclusive light signature, the rear of the vehicle is quite new at Jeep. It could even be easily mistaken for a Range Rover Velar!
