The Stellantis-owned brand revealed a 'new chapter' for the quintessential American SUV brand that has struggled with domestic sales in recent years.
The Wagoneer S is the beginning of what Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares this week called the automaker's EV offensive for the U.S."If this is going to be a green vehicle, we had to rethink the materials inside," renowned car designer Ralph Gilles said. "There was a huge push for sustainable materials everywhere."NEW YORK – The first all-electric Jeep SUV for the U.S. will be the Wagoneer S, starting at about $72,000 when it's scheduled to go on sale this fall.
Jeep also revealed a Trailhawk off-road performance concept of the EV, which Filosa said "hopefully soon will become a product." "There is a huge amount of opportunities here in the U.S. We are just starting the offensive of our electrification," Tavares said Wednesday during a Bernstein investor conference.
Filosa said Jeep, which is currently No. 1 in PHEVs in the U.S., expects to continue growing sales of those vehicles in addition to the upcoming EVs. "We reinvented the traditional seven-slot grille," said Ralph Gilles, Stellantis head of design. "I am so damn proud of this."
