This is it! This is the Wagoneer EV, AKA: the Wagoneer S, and it's not quite what many of us had expected. Why Because it's more of a Grand Cherokee EV in terms of its size, being ever so slightly smaller than the 2-row GC in almost every dimension. That also means it's way, smaller than a Wagoneer sans-S, and that's actually OK by me. On the other hand, if you were hoping for a Escalade IQ competitor, well, you're still waiting. So what do you get for just under $72, 000 Surprisingly quite a bit, considering that the Wagoneer S should qualify for the $7500 tax credit and $72K seems as high as the Wagoneer S will go. At least for now. That means that 72 karge actually buys you more stuff and better performance than you'll find in an Acura ZDX Type S, Lyriq Sport, or Polestar 3. For less. Clearly however there will be options like a Model Y or Blazer that will cost you less than this, but the Model Y is a bit smaller in some dimensions and it will lack some of the more traditional luxury touches offered in the Jeep. Now to the dimensions: Vs the Grand Cherokee, the Wagoneer S is 1 inch shorter on a 3. 7 inch shorter wheelbase, 3 inches narrower, with a roof line 6 inches closer to the ground. The lower roofline is mainly due to a passenger compartment that's less upright, but having 2 inches less ground clearance also factors into things. Legroom is similar to Grand Cherokee while headroom is around 2 lower both front and rear. Cargo room 30. 6 cubic feet plus 3 in the frunk put it about 4 cubes behind the Grand Cherokee, but almost exactly the same as a Model Y. Power comes from a 100. 5 kWh battery pack (400V nominal) under the body that will feed to standard dual 300 HP / 309 lb-ft motors. The total of 600 ponies and 617 lb-ft will get this 5, 600 lb EV from 0-60 in 3. 4 seconds, they say that's 1/10th faster than the last Hellcat powered Grand Cherokee. Yeehaw. We don't have all the charging details yet, but it looks like it'll peak around 200kW on a DC fast charger and should average 160 kW from 10-80% which is a solid, but not class leading showing. Charge times should be pretty similar to a Tesla Model X which has a similarly sized battery. Curb weight is lower than I had expected, although still substantial. At 5, 667 lbs, the Wagoneer S is about 300 lbs heavier than the Trackhawk from years past, but the low center of gravity will likely be an asset and expect a perfect 50/50 weight balance. On the other hand, don't expect the eco-focused 235 width tires to do as much on a track as the wide summer tires on that Hellkitty. What do you think Keep in mind that at $71, 995 plus destination, the Wagoneer S is actually less than a base Polestar 3 or a comparably equipped ZDX, or Cadillac Lyriq and it's quicker to 60 than all three. It's also less than a 2-row Model X. On the other hand it's nearly 20K more than a Model Y.

This should be their new Cherokee EV. It's too small to be called a Grand Cherokee let alone Wagoneer. If they could extend the wheel base about 4 inches and give the 2nd row some real leg room and then extend the hatch area another 6 inches so you could do family road trips in it I'd be tempted. Cargo capacity needs to be at least as big as the old Grand Cherokee and as a Grand Cherokee owner I'm not impressed.

If 0-60 was the only thing I did with a vehicle an EV is what I'd look at. But planning every trip i take by where the charging stations are or spending 2 years worth of gasoline on a fast charger in my home just doesn't seem enjoyable to me. I'd say to each their own, but with governments trying to regulate people into EVs that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

I dont care what you say about her tiny tires. This is a good-looking truck. Im currently trying to convince my wife that this is what we need. Wait, what hands-free driving Is this another subscription service If it is, then no, but if not, then my wife's Volvo will need to find a new home.

With electric handles, when the 12V battery dies, how do you get into the vehicle I read in another article this vehicle will be assembled in Mexico. That will help to keep costs down. I'm sure the UAW is not happy about it though. Personally, I love the red interior.

I'll stick to my grand cherokee with a hemi. When a company learns how to make an ev people actually want to buy let me know.
Was really really hoping for a 4xE with the 3. 0t, that would of had me trade mine in literally as soon as it was available.

I like that the extra rear cargo space isn't just some small deep tub, it's reasonably deep and wide. It at least gives the sense that you could fit more in the back in the extra cargo area than this car's competitors.
reply

So they made a huge deal comparing this to the Tesla Model Y just to end up costing almost twice as much as it This will not sell well at all, especially in a declining EV market at 75k.
reply

The frunk is pathetic as is luggage compartment in the rear with the spoiler so far from glass rendering the car shape as a coupe, a far cry from classic Grand Cherokee shape.
reply

The Chevy Equinox that GM says they will sell for 25 grand with the incentive. That vehicle sales wise is going to spank this overpriced turd. And I’m a Jeep fan.
reply

The spoiler is like the bz4x. I don’t know why they don’t call it a grand Cherokee E.
If the trunk doesn’t work on a pre production I am scared.

reply

I like everything except the name. Wagoneer is a beige name, really bland. The styling is modern and powerful. The Trailhawk rims are brutal!
reply

Honestly, I would really like a squared-off trunk closure. It’s tough that maximizing the cargo space is sacrificed for the sake of aerodynamics.
reply

Why such long front overhang And short axle dash ratio look like a from wheel drive architecture. Maybe a gas hybrid will come out of it like the 500e
reply

Looks good but car companies should be focusing on affordable models not expensive ones. They should change the name too.
reply

Proprio quando pensavo di aver capito l'argomento, qualcuno arriva con una prospettiva completamente nuova. Adoro la sfida!
