Jeep has submitted a design patent for its Wagoneer S electric SUV in India, aligning with its expanding global electric vehicle strategy. This move contrasts with its current ICE focus in India.
The Wagoneer S, built on the STLA Large platform, features a highly aerodynamic design with a 0.29 drag coefficient. It achieves an EPA-estimated 473 km range using a 100 kWh battery, capable of fast DC charging.
The SUV's dual-motor all-wheel-drive system produces 600 hp and over 800 Nm of torque, facilitating a 0-100 kmph acceleration in under 3.5 seconds. It includes five Selec-Terrain modes for varied conditions.
Inside, the Wagoneer S offers a tech-forward cabin with dual 12.3-inch screens, a 10.25-inch passenger display, and a 19-speaker McIntosh audio system. Its dimensions position it as more compact than the Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee.
The patent filing suggests potential local assembly or import plans for India, with the Wagoneer S possibly competing against luxury EVs like the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV and BMW iX.
