Jeep Enters the Electric Vehicle Market with the Wagoneer S

Since introducing its first EV, the Jeep Avenger, in 2023, Jeep has been steadfast in its pursuit of an electric future. The latest chapter in this journey is the all-electric 2025 Jeep Compass, which is now available in Europe following its trials in Australia. The big question is whether the United States will ever get to see an all-electric Compass. Here’s what we know so far about this new EV option. What We Know About The 2025 Compass EV While there has been no official reveal, there are plans for a first look before the end of the year ahead of the 2025 launch in Europe. We know that Jeep has plenty of resources to make a stellar electric vehicle and the Compass EV could be the company’s ace to revitalizing the Jeep brand. The new 2025 Compass EV is said to be offered in hybrid, PHEV, and all-electric options after its predicted November reveal, per their ‘ Freedom of Choice’ strategy that expands their powertrain options while keeping traditional vehicles for those not ready to make the change to electric. The Compass EV will be based on the STLA Medium platform which claims a 435-mile range. Jeep may be prioritizing the European market for its electric rebrand beginning with the Compass, but the sales growing brand-wide may see its release in the North American market as well. The decision makes a lot of sense, especially with the United States’ growing EV charging infrastructure and various federal incentives for drivers to make the change. 2025 Jeep Compass – Available Now! While the EV powertrain of the Compass may not yet be out or available in the United States, it is available with a conventional gas powertrain in various trims. The 2025 Jeep Compass packs a 4-Cyl, Turbo, 2.0 Liter engine with a 200 hp output at 5,000 RPM. The 2025 Jeep Compass is also bringing back favorite features like the Uconnect 5 infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a new 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster. It also introduces a new color option, Joose, alongside five others. Enjoy LED headlights, a foot-activated power liftgate, remote start, and more! Test drive the brand-new 2025 Jeep Compass today.

This year, the coliseum is re-opening its doors. That's right: gladiators are making a comeback. This Thanksgiving, director Ridley Scott is serving up Gladiator 2, the long-awaited follow-up to 2000’s Best Picture winner Gladiator. Starring Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal, we’ll see if the historical epic resonates with audiences the same way its hit predecessor did nearly a quarter century ago. But in the meantime, Jeep is releasing the year’s most anticipated Gladiator sequel: the new and improved 2024 Jeep Gladiator. Putting on a Show There's a surplus of off-road-centric, mid-size trucks on the market, but the Jeep Gladiator has developed a reputation based on its uniqueness. Its singular four-wheel drive system and suspension are designed to thrive on off-road conditions. It’s one of the only pickups to offer a six-speed manual transmission. To top it off, the Gladiator boasts a 7,700-pound tow rating and 1,725-pound payload, despite sticking with its modest but reliable 285-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 engine. Think of the new Gladiator as its seven-slot sibling, the Jeep Wrangler, with a pickup truck bed dropped on top of it. Much like the recently refurbished Wrangler, the Gladiator has undergone cosmetic changes to its exterior, emerging with a fuller, rounder grille. New wheel designs and a windshield-integrated antenna complete the Gladiator’s sleek new look. Are You Not Entertained? The flexible 2024 Gladiator features a removable roof, removable doors, and a fold-down windshield. For the first time, it comes loaded with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, offered standard even with the base Sport trim. You also have the option to move up to the Rubicon and Mojave trims – which is where things start getting really fun for off-road explorers. The Rubicon trim has been tried and tested with the Wrangler, and it remains the preferred choice for rock-crawling adventures. The desert-themed Mojave, however, is newly exclusive to the Gladiator. An homage to the sand-strewn surfaces Roman warriors once risked life and limb on, the Mojave can easily traverse bumpy dunes, absorbing each would-be blow before casually moving on to the next challenge. Much like the year’s other big blockbuster, Dune Part 2, the Gladiator Mojave is a firm believer in desert power. With an Off-Road+ mode, 12-way adjustable seats, and improved safety features, the Gladiator Mojave guarantees the most comfortable, well-rounded off-road experience you'll find in a pickup. Its Fox suspension is equipped to combat a wide variety of rough terrain. Oh, and if you needed one more selling point on the Mojave: can we interest you in orange tow hooks? Age of Legends The age of gladiatorial combat is (thankfully) behind us, visitable only at one of Reading's local multiplexes. However, the age of the Jeep Gladiator is alive and thriving. Here at Savage L&B, you can check out our full roster of new and used Jeep vehicles, from off-road warriors like the Gladiator and Wrangler to heavy-hitting SUVs like the 2024 Compass and 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Much like the combatants of ancient Rome, each Jeep we sell is battle-tested and ready to take on whatever challenges come next.

The Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S are far from Jeep's first forays into the alternate energy space. The brand has been offering plug-in hybrid versions of its most popular models for years, with the Jeep Wrangler 4xe becoming the best-selling plug-in hybrid in both North America and Europe. But the Recon and Wagoneer S EVs are Jeep's first fully electric offerings, and their arrival is nearly upon us. Here at Savage L&B, we're preparing for the new EVs to arrive by the end of the year. As anticipation grows, here's everything we currently know about both of these exciting electric vehicles. Charge Me Mama, Like a Wagoneer Following Stellantis's unexpected update on eight new electric vehicles last week, leaked images of the upcoming Wagoneer S EV started appearing online. We already knew the Wagoneer S would be an exclusively all-electric vehicle, but now we have some additional details on the premium, midsize SUV. The electric Wagoneer will be approximately as large as the current two-row Grand Cherokee. The exterior is outfitted with a state-of-the-art, LED-lit grille. Jeep insists the "S" in Wagoneer S stands for speed, and indeed the Wagoneer can fly, jumping from zero to 60 in under four seconds. Around 400 miles of EPA-estimated range is expected, ensuring an abundance of charge for longer trips. The Wagoneer S also delivers up to 600 horsepower. Early images of the interior reveal a typically luxurious, spacious cabin. Multicolored ambient lighting creates a soothing atmosphere during your trip. The dashboard has a total of four(!) screens, including dual central touchscreens and a passenger-facing touchscreen. The Wagoneer S also boasts a 19-speaker McIntosh audio system. It's everything you've come to expect from an SUV made by Jeep... minus the gas tank. Off-Road Adventuring Redefined Of the two EVs, the Recon is closer to what you imagine from a "traditional" Jeep. The Recon is modeled after the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid (the Recon name having been previously used for a Wrangler variant). While the Wagoneer S EV may prevail as the SUV of choice for the everyday man or woman, the boxy Recon is geared towards outdoor enthusiasts eager to explore the full capabilities of electric, off-road vehicles. Certain key specs such as range have yet to be divulged, but we know a bit of what to expect. In true Jeep fashion, the Recon includes removable doors and a power-folding rooftop, inviting the fresh air to join in on all your electric adventuring. Jeep's Selec-Terrain traction management system is also included, as are off-road tires, e-locker axle technology, and under-body protection. Send Gas to the Past Jeep's stated goal is to become the global leader in electrified SUVs. By 2030, Stellantis expects the entirety of Jeep's North American and European sales to come from EVs. Although they still months away from their U.S. debuts, it appears that the Recon and Wagoneer S EVs represent the first stages of a much larger plan. As we await Jeep's newest EV offerings, explore the electrified versions of Jeep classics, including the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe hybrids. Also consider plug-in hybrids from Jeep's corporate siblings, such as the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica or 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T. Savage L&B is your trusted partner when it comes to making the switch to electric. We're charged up for everything 2024 has set in store - including putting you behind the driver's seat of a new or used Jeep.
