Jeep Wagoneer S all-electric SUV to launch with a $7,500 lease discount

Jeep’s first fully electric vehicle in the US will debut with a $7,500 discount as the rugged SUV brand looks to compete with Tesla. The Jeep Wagoneer S will launch this fall with a $7,500 lease discount, making it more competitive with Tesla’s top-selling Model Y. Which electric SUV are you going with?

Meet Jeep’s first global EV

Jeep took the sheets off its first global electric SUV, the Wagoneer S, late last month as it looks toward a new chapter.

The Jeep Wagoneer S features a range of over 300 miles, a luxurious, tech-oriented interior, and fast charging capabilities. Powered by a 100 kWh battery, Jeep’s electric SUV can charge from 20% to 80% in 23 minutes.

Jeep’s Wagoneer S is “Distinctively a Jeep and 100% electric in every way,” according to Jeep’s CEO Antonio Filosa.

You will notice several signature design upgrades for the electric era, including a reimagined seven-slot closed grille.

Although it’s built on Stellantis’ STLA Large platform, which is expected to underpin the electric Dodge Charger, Jeep designers modified it specifically for the Wagoneer S.

On the inside, Jeep packed its latest software and connectivity tech. The Wagoneer S Launch Edition includes a massive “best-in-class” display with 45″ of space. This includes a 10.25″ interactive passenger screen.

Jeep believes its first electric SUV in the US can steal some of the spotlight from Tesla’s best-selling Model Y.

“The brands we are targeting are mainly Tesla… but there are many others,” Jeep’s leader explained.

According to online auto research firm CarsDirect, the Jeep Wagoneer S will hit the market with a $7,500 lease discount.

Although Jeep has yet to reveal lease deals on the new EV, they are expected to be revealed soon. Dealers in 12 states were notified last week of the new offer through Stellantis Financial Services.

Jeep’s Wagoneer S Launch Edition will begin arriving at US dealerships this fall, starting at $71,995.
