The first electric Jeep for the US is finally here

Jeep is electrifying its Wagoneer SUV.

Today, in New York City, the company unveiled the Wagoneer S, a premium two-row SUV with an estimated 300 miles of range and a lot of, shall we say, interesting design details. Other than that, the vehicle’s specifications are pretty much the same: dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain capable of 600 horsepower and 617 pound-feet of torque, a zero to 60mph time of about 3.4 seconds, and the iconic seven-pillar grille lit by LEDs. There’s a lot riding on the Wagoneer S. Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa, who assumed the role from Christian Meunier last year, has been slashing prices and reorienting the brand’s marketing strategy in a bid to reverse flagging US sales.
