(Two generations of the undeniably \u201ccute\u201d but low-range, subcompact Fiat 500e just don\u2019t cut it.) Now it does.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The electric Wagoneer S is one of two EVs from the former Chrysler that launch within weeks of each other. The second is the polarizing Dodge Charger Daytona, the electric performance car with the audio-enhanced vroom-vroom noises. It\u2019s meant to introduce <strong>EV performance to the Hemi crowd<\/strong>\u2014which may well prove to be a tall order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>As a premium electric five-seat SUV, the Wagoneer S should be an easier sell. It sits in a segment that already includes the domestic Cadillac Lyriq and Tesla Model Y, plus imports including the Audi Q6 e-tron, BMW iX, and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, with more on the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In late January, we drove a Wagoneer S roughly 100 miles in and around the San Diego suburb of Carlsbad, California\u2014with temperate weather and the state\u2019s strong adoption of EVs making it the ideal environment in which to test a new electric vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100931187_m\" title=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"577\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931187_l.webp\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/jeep_100931187_h.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931187_l.webp\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931187_l.webp\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/jeep_100931187_m.webp\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/jeep_100931187_s.webp\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2024 Jeep Wagoneer S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span>2024 Wagoneer S: An anodyne EV SUV shape<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>From the front, the traditional Jeep seven-slot grille has morphed into seven fins on a blanking plate with LED accent lights that illuminate the design. It is, designers said, a \u201cconfident face\u201d despite the significant bevel from the hood surface down to those fins. The side profile is adequately Jeepish, and it has the characteristic metal lettering spelling out the model name standing proud on the lower front doors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>It\u2019s at the rear where the Jeep identity gets lost. There\u2019s a \u201c4xe\u201d badge, just like all those plug-in hybrids Jeep has sold, and narrow, full-width LED taillights. The very steeply raked rear window is cleverly disguised by a large basket-handle roof spoiler whose vertical side supports give the Wagoneer S a square, SUV side profile. You only see the massive gap between that raked rear glass and the spoiler from certain angles. It\u2019s all about aerodynamics: the quoted <strong>drag coefficient of 0.29<\/strong> makes the Wagoneer S the slipperiest Jeep ever sold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>But we saw nothing at the rear that definitely said Jeep. In fact, coming up to a black SUV ahead at a stoplight, we pegged it as either a Kia or the new Honda Prologue\u2014until we realized it was another Wagoneer S. That\u2019s not great brand ID. The Launch Editions feature a standard glass roof, all-black paint and trim above the beltline, and black alloy 20-inch wheels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Inside, it\u2019s the same story. The materials, contrast stitching, and multiple displays say \u201cpremium SUV,\u201d but it\u2019s not clear to us they really say \u201cJeep.\u201d Buyers will be the judge of that. One small touch of butch was a starburst pattern on the matte black plastic that now seems to be supplanting the <strong>hackneyed shiny piano-black trim<\/strong> in car interiors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Those displays include a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch center touchscreen display, a 10-inch head-up display for the driver, a 10.3-inch touchscreen at the right of the dash for the front passenger, and a final 10.3-inch display for the HVAC controls. The control and infotainment software worked fine, though it seemed slow to load once in a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>En route, it was nice to be able to re-aim the vents (we\u2019re lookin\u2019 at you, Rivian), though some of the controls (e.g. window switches, lock buttons) seemed oddly small for a Jeep. Parts bin, perhaps? We liked the optional red upholstery, which along with the glass roof brightened the interior considerably.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"hgmLayout hgmLayout2x2\">\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100931203_m\" title=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" width=\"640\" height=\"290\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"464\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931203_l.webp\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/jeep_100931203_h.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931203_l.webp\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931203_l.webp\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/jeep_100931203_m.webp\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/jeep_100931203_s.webp\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2024 Jeep Wagoneer S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100931201_m\" title=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" width=\"640\" height=\"288\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"461\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931201_l.webp\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/jeep_100931201_h.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931201_l.webp\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931201_l.webp\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/jeep_100931201_m.webp\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/jeep_100931201_s.webp\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2024 Jeep Wagoneer S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100931209_m\" title=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" width=\"640\" height=\"337\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"539\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931209_l.webp\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/jeep_100931209_h.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931209_l.webp\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931209_l.webp\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/jeep_100931209_m.webp\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/jeep_100931209_s.webp\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2024 Jeep Wagoneer S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100931210_m\" title=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" width=\"640\" height=\"337\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"539\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931210_l.webp\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/jeep_100931210_h.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931210_l.webp\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931210_l.webp\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/jeep_100931210_m.webp\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/jeep_100931210_s.webp\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2024 Jeep Wagoneer S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span>Quickest, most wind-cheating Jeep ever<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Superlatives always excite car marketers, so right up front we learned the Wagoneer S is not just the most aerodynamic but also the quickest Jeep ever, with its <strong>pair of 250-kw (335-hp) motors<\/strong> delivering a 0-to-60-mph acceleration time of 3.4 seconds. That\u2019s one-tenth of a second faster than the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, with its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine producing 707 horsepower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The 100.5-kwh (gross capacity) battery uses nickel-manganese-cobalt cells imported by Samsung SDI until a new Stellantis-Samsung joint-venture cell plant in Kokomo, Indiana, comes online early in 2027. The Wagoneer S pack uses 400-volt architecture and doesn\u2019t have the ability to charge at 800 volts as do most Hyundai and Kia EVs. Level 2 charging time from 5-80% is quoted at almost seven hours, and Jeep says the Wagoneer S can fast-charge from <strong>20-80% in 23 minutes<\/strong> (under ideal circumstances, of course).<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The headline range rating for the Wagoneer S is 303 miles, and our test vehicle rode on the Falken tires that gave that higher 303-mile rating. We didn\u2019t drive a Wagoneer S on the Pirellis that, as the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fueleconomy.gov\/feg\/Find.do?action=sbs&amp;id=48791&amp;id=48792\"><span>EPA site shows<\/span><\/a><span>, busts the rating down more than 10 percent\u2014to 270 miles. The test car, however, started off showing just 258 miles at 95% battery capacity. It likely reflected aggressive driving by Jeep before we got it, as the range algorithm calculates on the last 50 miles of driving.

The Wagoneer S is predominantly rear-wheel drive, with the \u201cAutomatic\u201d driving mode biased 40:60 front to rear. The \u201cSport\u201d mode ups that to 20:80 to the rear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>We started our drive in \u201cEco\u201d mode, which is 100% rear-wheel drive unless the front motor is required to maintain traction. Eco required more pedal effort to keep up with traffic, but likely would be suitable for many drivers. The low-speed pedestrian alert noise, by the way, is a pleasantly meditative hum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Jeep\u2019s <strong>regenerative braking<\/strong> wasn\u2019t entirely to our liking: it was almost unnoticeable in the lower setting, but too abrupt in the high setting. For the record, maximum regen produces 0.2 to 0.3g, while the minimum is only 0.04 to 0.08g\u2014a pretty wide range. Perhaps Jeep\u2019s drivetrain-software engineers can drive a selection of EVs from more experienced makers to feel how they round the edges of their algorithms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>While not the most capacious five-seat utility vehicle on the market, the electric Wagoneer S had suitable space for four adults to travel in comfort and five if required. Even the front seats had a slightly knees-up position at its lowest setting, reflecting the thick battery under the floor and a roofline lowered to reduce drag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>It\u2019s worth noting that both our test cars had slight judders during specific low-speed maneuvers. The first one was diagnosed as a malfunctioning front-axle disconnect, and we swapped into a second car halfway through. That one behaved flawlessly until the very end, when reversing produced a minor judder. We didn\u2019t hear the resolution on that one.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100931182_m\" title=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"2024 Jeep Wagoneer S\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"680\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931182_l.webp\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/jeep_100931182_h.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931182_l.webp\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/jeep_100931182_l.webp\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/jeep_100931182_m.webp\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/jeep_100931182_s.webp\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2024 Jeep Wagoneer S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span>Targeting whom, exactly?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Jeep\u2019s new leader, senior vice president Bob Broderdorf, said the brand will target three groups of potential buyers for the Wagoneer S.
