2024 JEEP WAGONEER S REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S emerges as Jeep's first all-electric offering in America, positioned as a premium mid-size luxury EV starting around $72,000. While sharing dimensions with the Grand Cherokee, it rides on a dedicated EV platform, offering a distinct, more aerodynamic profile with a lower roofline. The interior is a highlight, featuring opulent materials, extensive screen real estate (55 inches total), and comfortable, highly adjustable seats with massage functions. Performance is strong, with a claimed 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds thanks to its 600 horsepower dual-motor setup, though real-world testing achieved 3.6 seconds with notable wheel spin. Efficiency is respectable, with the reviewer achieving up to 3.7 miles/kWh on mixed driving. However, the Wagoneer S isn't without its drawbacks: the skinny, eco-oriented tires compromise handling and stopping distances, the infotainment software can be slow, and the rear seating offers less headroom than expected due to the sloped roofline. Despite these points, the Wagoneer S presents a compelling, albeit expensive, premium EV alternative, particularly noted for its impressive audio system and faster charging than some competitors.
