2025 JEEP WAGONEER S: MEET THE NEW RANGE ROVER RIVAL

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition presents a compelling entry into the luxury electric SUV market, aiming directly at rivals like the Range Rover. The exterior boasts a sleek, aerodynamic design with signature Jeep elements like the illuminated seven-slot grille and a full-width LED light bar. Inside, the cabin exudes luxury with premium materials, including a leather-free Neo Ultralux upholstery, a sophisticated two-spoke steering wheel, and extensive use of aluminum trim. Notable features include standard massaging seats, a 12.3-inch digital cluster, a head-up display, and a unique hidden storage compartment behind the climate control screen. The rear offers ample legroom and headroom despite the sloping roofline, along with standard heated and ventilated seats. Cargo space is respectable at 31 cubic feet behind the second row, expandable to 61 cubic feet, though slightly less than some competitors. Performance is a strong suit, with a dual-motor AWD system producing 600 horsepower for a claimed 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds. The official range is stated at 303 miles. While the Launch Edition is the sole offering initially, its $72,000 price point positions it as a premium choice. The review highlights the vehicle's impressive technology, luxurious appointments, and strong performance as key strengths, while the slightly compromised cargo space due to the design and the lack of the newest North American charging standard are minor considerations.
