What we like
The Wagoneer S is genuinely fast 3.4 seconds to 60 mph puts it in sports car territory and well-equipped, with the McIntosh audio system a standout feature. The 300-mile range is competitive for its class. Design is bold and clean, with a proper premium feel inside. As Jeep’s first serious push into the EV luxury space, it makes a strong statement.
Meh…
The elephant in the room: early reviews were harsh on software quality. Consumer Reports called it an “unfinished product,” and significant dealer discounting (up to $25,000 off in some cases by mid-2025) suggests sluggish sales. The 400V architecture feels slightly behind the 800V curve established by rivals like Hyundai/Kia’s E-GMP platform. At $74,000+, expectations for polish and reliability are high, and Stellantis hasn’t fully met them yet.
Rivals
- BMW iX xDrive50 324 miles (EPA) 516 hp ~$89,000
- Rivian R1S 314 miles (EPA) 835 hp ~$75,900
- Mercedes EQE SUV 305 miles (EPA) 402–677 hp ~$80,000
- Cadillac Escalade IQ 450 miles (EPA) 750 hp ~$130,000
Verdict
A strong hardware story undermined by software immaturity. Worth watching for mid-cycle OTA updates.
