With the Jeep Wagoneer S, Stellantis pushes its off-road heritage into the all-electric luxury SUV segment, combining a 400-volt architecture, 600-hp output and a tech-heavy interior ahead of its expected U.S. arrival later in 2024.

Jeep is preparing to bring its all-electric Wagoneer S to the U.S. market as Stellantis leans on the brand's SUV reputation to win higher-end EV buyers with a 600-hp, all-wheel-drive luxury model positioned above the Grand Cherokee. A May 2024 Stellantis news release outlines the Wagoneer S First Edition as the spearhead of Jeep's new EV strategy in North America.

What the Jeep Wagoneer S brings to Stellantis's EV lineup

The Wagoneer S is Jeep's first globally marketed, battery-electric SUV developed from the outset on Stellantis's STLA Large platform, sharing underpinnings with other upcoming EVs across brands but tuned to deliver what the company describes as a Jeep-level mix of performance, all-weather capability and on-road comfort for family use. According to Stellantis, the dual-motor powertrain is rated at approximately 600 hp and more than 617 lb-ft of torque, giving the Wagoneer S an estimated 0 to 60 mph time of around 3.4 seconds, numbers that place it squarely in performance territory for a three-row-size, all-electric SUV aimed at premium buyers.

Jeep pairs that straight-line performance with a 400-volt electrical architecture and a battery pack designed to enable what the brand calls a "targeted" EPA-estimated range of more than 300 miles on a full charge, positioning the Wagoneer S against luxury EV rivals where real-world range remains a deciding factor for many buyers who want a primary family vehicle rather than a second car. The vehicle supports DC fast charging that, on a suitably powerful charger, is designed to replenish the battery from about 20 percent to roughly 80 percent in just over half an hour, while home charging is supported via Level 2 AC solutions that Stellantis promotes alongside its EV ecosystem offerings.

Inside, the Wagoneer S continues Jeep's effort to push upmarket with a cabin dominated by multiple digital displays, including a central touchscreen for infotainment, a driver's display and an available front passenger screen, together covering more than 45 inches of total screen real estate when fully equipped. The software stack builds on Stellantis's Uconnect 5 system with integrated navigation, over-the-air update capability and access to connected services including remote monitoring and climate preconditioning, all framed in an interior that uses ambient lighting, premium seat materials and a panoramic glass roof option to align the experience with other luxury SUVs rather than traditional off-roaders.

On the capability side, Jeep equips the Wagoneer S with a Selec-Terrain traction management system that allows drivers to choose among different drive modes to adapt power delivery and stability control settings to conditions such as snow, sand and sport-oriented on-road driving, though the model is more road-focused than Jeep's rock-crawling Wrangler line. A suite of driver-assistance technologies, including adaptive cruise control, lane-centering and automated emergency braking, is available as part of Stellantis's strategy to keep Jeep competitive on active safety and comfort features that are increasingly standard in the upper price segments of the U.S. market. In parallel, Jeep is using the Wagoneer S launch to reinforce its electrification narrative, emphasizing that zero-emission power does not conflict with the brand's long-standing image of ruggedness and all-weather readiness.

For Stellantis, the Wagoneer S is a critical piece of the Dare Forward 2030 plan, which calls for 100 percent of passenger car sales in Europe and 50 percent of passenger car and light truck sales in the United States to be battery-electric by the end of the decade, and the company has highlighted Jeep's global recognition as a lever to accelerate EV penetration in North America. The initial Wagoneer S First Edition is set to be built in North America for the U.S. market, with Stellantis signaling that pricing will reflect its positioning in the premium EV SUV space while bundling home charging offers and connected services to encourage adoption among existing Jeep owners trading up from combustion models. Coverage in Car and Driver underscores that the Wagoneer S is designed to compete directly with electric models from Tesla, Mercedes-Benz and BMW rather than with mainstream crossovers.

Jeep's EV push comes as Stellantis works to balance investments in electric platforms with ongoing demand for combustion and plug-in hybrid models under brands such as Ram, Dodge and Peugeot, and the Wagoneer S provides the group with a high-visibility showcase for STLA Large technology in a body style that remains one of the most popular in the U.S. market. Stellantis has framed the model as an important step for Jeep's global electrification roadmap and as a draw for higher-margin customers, especially in North America where large SUVs play an outsized role in group profitability. Shares of Stellantis N.V. (NL00150001Q9) traded on the NYSE under the ticker STLA at about $21 in mid-June 2026, reflecting investor attention on the group's progress in executing its long-term EV strategy. Recent price and strategy coverage by Reuters has emphasized the importance of upcoming EV launches, including the Wagoneer S, in meeting the company's financial and emissions targets.
