00:00This is the Jeep Wagoneer S.

00:04This is the first all-electric Jeep.

00:06The company has been promising this for a while,

00:09and they did some really cool things.

00:11They took the Wagoneer name,

00:13which we have known as the full-size

00:15seven- or eight-passenger SUV with four-wheel drive,

00:19and they put the Wagoneer name on this all-electric Jeep.

00:23Then they gave it a really great powertrain.

00:25So it will have over 600 horsepower,

00:28a 300-mile range,

00:29and it will fully recharge at a DC fast charger

00:32in about 23 minutes.

00:33When it hits the market later in 2025,

00:36it'll be priced at about $72,000,

00:39and it will be built in the United States.

00:41Jeep took a really revolutionary approach

00:44to the design language.

00:45Yes, it is all Jeep.

00:47It is lifted. It has a nice, high ground clearance.

00:49It will have all-wheel drive.

00:51It'll be capable of doing anything a Jeep can do.

00:53But inside, it's really luxurious.

00:56It has that very futuristic approach to screens

00:59and a steering wheel that's flat on top and bottom.

01:02It is all about the view out the windshield

01:05and not about obstructing your view

01:07with things like oversized driver displays.

01:10Probably one of the more notable things

01:11about the Jeep Wagoneer S

01:13is the light bar across the front and across the rear.

01:16That's something that we've seen in a lot of electric cars

01:18in the last few years,

01:20and we're seeing that in the Jeep Wagoneer S as well.

01:23Jeep is not new to electrification

01:25In fact, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in electric hybrid

01:29is the best-selling plug-in electric hybrid in the country.

01:32So they do have some experience with electrification,

01:35but not with full electrification

01:37like we're seeing in the Wagoneer S.

01:39But remember that concept from Chrysler,

01:41the Halcyon electric concept?

01:43Well, a lot of that technology

01:45is what is being built into the Jeep Wagoneer S.

01:49The interior of the Wagoneer S

01:51holds all the new Jeep design language for electrification.

01:54With the squircle steering wheel,

01:56so it's flat on top and flat on bottom.

01:58The driver display screen is embedded here into the dashboard,

02:02so you don't have a high driver display

02:05that's actually blocking your view.

02:07There's a nice big screen here,

02:09and there's actually a passenger screen

02:11so that your passenger is not just passive,

02:14but they're actually an active participant

02:16in your driving experience.

02:18Down here, you'll find a whole new approach

02:21to the center console with a dial drive selector here,

02:24a start-stop button,

02:26and lots of metallic and modern-feeling features.

02:30One thing that Jeep did in this car

02:32was they did not use any chrome.

02:35They found that the production process for chrome

02:38is not friendly to the environment,

02:40and they are working to phase out the use of chrome

02:43and phase in the use of more sustainable materials

02:47like the leatherette upholstery.

02:49When the Jeep Wagoneer S comes to the North American market

02:52later in 2025,

02:54it's going to be an important moment

02:56of proving its metal.

02:58Will it really function off-road

03:00the way we know Jeeps to function?

03:02Will it really be a good electric car?

03:05And will customers embrace it?

03:07That's the question.
