The reviewer ultimately leans towards the older Leaf for its ease of use and driving experience, though acknowledges the new model's advancements in range and technology. less
The $72K Jeep Wagoneer S Has One Big Hurdle...And It's Not the Price!
The Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition, Jeep's first all-electric SUV for the US market, presents a striking design that blends modern aesthetics wit... moreh a sleek, coupe-like profile, a strong point according to the reviewer. Inside, the cabin is praised for its spaciousness, comfortable rear seats with amenities like heated/chilled functions, and a large panoramic sunroof. Performance is a highlight, with the vehicle offering potent acceleration in Sport mode, capable of a sub-four-second 0-60 mph time and impressive efficiency (3.6 miles/kWh). However, the reviewer finds the vehicle's biggest hurdle is its identity and price. Despite the Jeep badge, it's heavily geared towards on-road performance with no off-road capability, a departure from the brand's core DNA. The interior is dominated by an overwhelming number of screens and complex menus, making basic functions like adjusting the climate control or heads-up display frustratingly difficult.
