Jogada ousada da Jeep: o Wagoneer S elétrico enfrenta a Tesla

Jeep has unveiled its first electric model for the US, the Wagoneer S, a premium SUV with an estimated 300 miles of range. The Launch Edition, the only trim announced so far, starts at $71,995 and goes on sale this fall. More affordable versions will follow.

What’s New with the Wagoneer S?

O Wagoneer S apresenta um trem de força com motor duplo e tração nas quatro rodas com 600 cavalos de potência e 617 libras-pés de torque, permitindo um tempo de 0 a 100 km/h de 3,4 segundos. Ele supostamente apresenta um design exclusivo com uma enorme tela digital de 45 polegadas no painel de instrumentos e um spoiler diferenciado.

Jeep originally promised a 400-mile range but has now revised that to 300 miles. The SUV is built on Stellantis’ unibody STLA Large platform with a 100.5 kWh battery, although it has a 400-volt architecture rather than the faster 800-volt systems in other STLA Large platform vehicles.

Alta tecnologia e desempenho

O Wagoneer S tem como objetivo proporcionar uma condução suave e silenciosa, com uma melhoria de 35% na rigidez da torção da carroceria em relação a outros Jeeps de médio porte e um coeficiente de arrasto de 0,29. Ele também oferece cinco modos de direção: Auto, Eco, Esporte, Neve e Areia.

Concorrentes e posição no mercado

While the Wagoneer S isn’t the electric Wrangler that many anticipated, Jeep fans are excited about the brand’s first battery-electric model. Jeep has seen competition from other electric SUVs like the Rivian R1T and R1S, as well as electric trucks from Ford and GM.

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.
