2027 Jeep Wagoneer SJeepCool rear wing designQuick accelerationTechy, modern interiorUnimpressive range and chargingSuspension needs more tuningRivals are justbetterJeep's first all-electric vehicle, the Wagoneer S, arrived for 2024. But dubious positioning and slow sales caused Jeep to pause the Wagoneer S for 2026. The vehicle is now supposedly returning for 2027 with some beneficial updates. With those, Jeep aims to improve the Wagoneer S' standing against electric SUVs like the Genesis GV60, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Cadillac Lyriq.What's NewExpect the Wagoneer S to arrive for 2027 with a few useful changes. Key among these would be a Tesla-style NACS charging port, along with potentially faster charging or improved driving range.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis page will be updated with more insights and photos as information becomes available.What We ThinkThe Jeep Wagoneer S is a strange entry among premium electric SUVs—and that's both its charm and its problem. Jeep's first fully electric model doesn't feel much like the larger Grand Wagoneer, nor does it reflect the brand's off-road identity. Instead, it's stylish, with muscle-car energy: quick, quiet, and surprisingly fun, but not especially cohesive.Performance is the headline. The Wagoneer S has rowdy, traction-compromising acceleration that adds entertainment compared to polished but sterile electric SUVs. The cabin also makes a strong first impression, with dramatic ambient lighting, upscale details, comfortable seats, and good passenger access.Still, the layout isn't perfect. There are too many touchscreens, the frunk is small, and the cargo floor is high. More fundamentally, the Wagoneer S lacks refinement and EV capability. Its ride can be both floaty and harsh, the steering is vague, and brake pedal feel can be grabby.AdvertisementAdvertisementReal-world driving range doesn't come close to official ratings, either, and fast charging performance trails competitors. The Wagoneer S is quick and stylish, but those attributes don't outweigh its compromised range, charging, and polish.Top-Ranked Competitors:Cadillac LyriqGenesis GV60BMW iX3Ford Mustang Mach-EMotorTrend TestedEvery 2027 Wagoneer S will likely use a dual-motor AWD electric powertrain, available in two states of tune.The standard setup should have 500 hp and 524 lb-ft of torque, good for a 0–60-mph time of just 3.4 seconds in MotorTrend testing.An available upgrade takes the powertrain to 600 hp and 617 lb-ft, which could reduce the 0–60 launch to about 3.0 seconds.EV Range and ChargingThe Wagoneer S is equipped with a big 100.5-kWh battery pack. Driving range is estimated to be between 260 and 290 miles depending on specification, although in MotorTrend's Road-Trip Range test, the SUV went only 215 miles before needing to recharge.AdvertisementAdvertisementJeep says the Wagoneer S can charge from 20 to 80 percent in 23 minutes under optimal conditions on a Level 3 DC fast charger. When plugging in at 5 percent charge, the SUV gained 81 miles in the first 15 minutes and 138 miles after 30 minutes in MotorTrend testing.Safety and Driver Assist FeaturesAll Wagoneer S models have active safety and driver assist tech including front automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, intersection collision avoidance, blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control.Cargo Space and Interior RoomThere's a good amount of space inside the Wagoneer S, plus a small 3.0-cubic-foot frunk under the hood.TechnologyInfotainmentA 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard, with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in navigation. A smaller touchscreen lower on the dashboard controls climate and vehicle functions. There's also a 12.3-inch digital gauge display. A wireless charging pad and USB ports are included.Sound SystemA nine-speaker Alpine system is standard, while higher-end models upgrade to a 19-speaker McIntosh premium setup.Available UpgradesTech enhancements for the Wagoneer S include a head-up display for the driver, digital rearview mirror, and a 10.3-inch passenger display.
