EVXL’s Take

The Wagoneer S marks a significant step for Jeep into the electric vehicle market. With its advanced tech, unique design, and powerful performance, it has the potential to make a strong impression. However, its premium pricing may be a barrier for some customers. As Jeep aims to electrify half of its sales in the US by 2030, the success of the Wagoneer S will be crucial in shaping the brand’s future.
