Primarily targeting US consumers, the premium SUV, stretching 5 meters in length, is also poised to challenge vehicles like the Polestar 3 or Lucid Gravity. The anticipated US launch is set for 2024, with a European rollout, including limited quantities for both left and right-hand-drive markets like the UK, expected in 2025.

The Wagoneer S, promising an impressive range of approximately 373 miles on a single charge, is set to be the flagship of Jeep’s expanded lineup in the UK. This lineup will feature seven vehicles, including the currently available Jeep Avenger and the soon-to-arrive Jeep Recon in 2025.

A noteworthy aspect of the Wagoneer S is its foundation on the new STLA Large architecture developed by its parent company Stellantis. This platform will be shared with the much-anticipated Recon, hinting at the vehicle’s robust underpinnings.
