Jeep Wagoneer S (2025) Electric SUV

After an awkward accidental reveal of the upcoming Jeep Wagoneer S, the maker has decided now is the right time to give us more official details of its all-electric premium SUV – including a first look at the interior.

While the new exterior shots don’t reveal anything we didn’t already know about the Wagoneer S, the pictures of the cabin certainly back up Jeep’s claim that the Wagoneer S will offer a “tech-focused interior”.

The most eye-catching part of the dashboard is the whopping four-screen layout, and while Jeep hasn’t given specific figures, it looks big enough to rival the ‘Hyperscreen’ setup from Mercedes. The Wagoneer S’s displays are made up of three screens sitting in a line across the dash, and what we assume to be a screen solely designed to operate the climate control system lower in the centre console.

Overall, it looks similar to the Jeep Grand Wagoneer’s infotainment system – a car not currently sold in Europe or the UK. That set-up uses a 45-inch set-up, comprising a plethora of display screens – not including the 10.25-inch climate control panel, or the pair of 10.1-inch infotainment screens for rear-seat passengers.

Jeep also says the Wagoneer S will feature a “standard dual-pane panoramic sunroof”, and an uprated 19-speaker sound system. Jeep’s ‘Selec-Terrain’ driving mode system is visible in the centre console beneath the gear selector, with modes including Sand and Snow, plus Eco, Auto and Sport.

The Wagoneer S will be Jeep’s first bespoke electric SUV and will utilise the STLA Large platform from parent company Stellantis. This platform can accommodate battery sizes up to 118kWh, and various different body styles – it’ll even underpin a sleek Maserati Quattroporte EV in a few years.

A range of 500 miles has been quoted as the maximum for this architecture, but given the size and weight of the Wagoneer S, a figure nearer to the 400-mile mark seems more likely.

We expect the Wagoneer S to go on sale in the US later this year, with a UK launch sometime in 2025. The most expensive Jeep offered in the UK currently is the Grand Cherokee in Summit Reserve trim at £85,615 – a figure the Wagoneer S should easily eclipse given it’ll be one of the first models to make use of the STLA Large technology.

Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk concept EV revealed

Jeep on Thursday finally took the wraps off its first electric vehicle for North America, the Wagoneer S. A radical departure from the normally upright, boxy design Jeeps are known for, it gets 600 horsepower and a decidedly sleek, on-road-focused appearance. Don't worry, Jeep enthusiasts, the company hasn't forgotten about you hardcore off-roaders. Because it's also unveiled a new concept called the Wagoneer S Trailhawk.

The Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk concept shares its underpinnings with the normal Wagoneer S. It rides on the same STLA Large platform, and while Jeep doesn't say what sort of motors lie underneath, the SUV is said to have "all the capability of the new production vehicle." If we had to guess, that means the same 100.5-kilowatt-hour battery pack and dual-motor, 600-hp drivetrain.

You'll find the extra capability in the details. The Trailhawk concept gets a two-inch suspension lift and 31.5-inch all-terrain tires for better approach, breakover, and departure angles, as well as more grip. Brightly colored tow hooks adorn the front and rear bumpers, while functional air extractors relieve high-pressure zones in the wheel wells during high-speed travel. The redesigned fascias also get an anti-scratch cladding to deter damage while adventuring off pavement.

In addition to the Auto, Sand, Snow, Eco, and Sport drive modes, the Trailhawk concept gets a Rock mode specifically for low-speed crawling. There's a driver-selectable electronic locking rear axle, too, for especially challenging trails.

At the center of the Trailhawk concept's redesigned interior is a new octagon-shaped steering wheel. In the center console behind the gear selector you'll find a red-colored switch panel for the drive mode and diff lock rockers. There's even a passenger grab handle for when the going gets tough.

While Jeep says the Wagoneer S Trailhawk is a concept, it looks remarkably production-ready. Remove a few of the fancy interior bits, and this SUV could be introduced as a trim for the Wagoneer S tomorrow. We suspect that's exactly what Jeep plans to do in the near future. The extra equipment means it'll probably be more expensive and less range-efficient, but for the off-road crowd, it's a whole lot more appealing.
