Jeep's first EV is quiet luxury. Leave the doors on, enjoy the posh seats, and leave the off-roading to the Wrangler.

The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S is arriving at dealers now and starts at $71,995. This all-electric two-row Jeep uses a 100.5-kWh battery pack to feed 250-kW drive modules at the front and rear and is good for 303 miles of range.
