Revealed in September 2022 within the type of a near-production idea, Jeep’s first electrical car meant for international markets will change into accessible to order within the US within the second half of 2024. Come 2026, the Wagoneer S will cross the Pacific Ocean in right-hand drive for the Australian market.
Jeep’s electrical car onslaught will not cease right here. Additionally confirmed for Australia, the Recon off-road sport utility car will be part of the Wagoneer S on the STLA Giant platform. In accordance with Stellantis, the STLA Giant helps electrical, hybrid, and inner combustion-only powertrains in front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive flavors. Electrical driving vary tops 500 miles (800 kilometers), and Stellantis additional promised Hellcat V8-shaming efficiency.
The Wagoneer S provides an estimated 600 ponies from its range-topping powertrain. Additional marketed with 3.5 seconds from zero to 60 miles per hour, which suggests 3.7 seconds from zero to 100 kilometers per hour, the Wagoneer S is usually described as being a direct competitor to the CLAR-based BMW iX. Reality be instructed, no person of their proper thoughts would cross-shop a BMW and a Jeep.

It isn’t clear whether or not the Wagoneer S will likely be produced in the USA or Canada, although. For what it is price, we do know that the Windsor meeting plant is gearing up for STLA Giant manufacturing in late 2024. The Brampton meeting plant, then again, will come again on-line within the fourth quarter of 2025 for STLA Medium manufacturing.
Unifor’s newest settlement with Stellantis reveals that Brampton will make Jeep’s next-generation Compass. Given the aforementioned begin of manufacturing, the third-generation Compass is probably going going to hit seller showrooms as a 2026 mannequin. Its footprint implies that Jeep will place it beneath the Wagoneer S within the American marque’s lineup.
An electrical model of the massive Wagoneer is due in 2027 on the STLA Body platform. This, in flip, implies that the all-electric Wagoneer is joined on the hip to the Ram 1500 REV. Come 2025, the Wagoneer REPB will enter manufacturing on the Warren Truck Meeting Plant. In Stellantis vernacular, REPB stands for Vary Electrical Paradigm Breaker. A spread-extender EV, that’s.
The primary-ever REPB within the Stellantis portfolio is the Ram 1500 Ramcharger, a dual-motor EV with a 92-kWh battery. Its 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 would not drive the truck’s wheels, however relatively acts as a generator.
