Jeep Wagoneer S Electric SUV Globally Revealed, is Based on Brand-New STLA-Large Platform

Jeep's first electric SUV, the Wagoneer S, has been revealed in the US. It is based on the all-new STLA-Large platform with a standard 4xe capability that enables all-terrain management. Jeep says STLA-Large is a highly flexible, BEV-native platform designed for cars, crossovers, and SUVs. Offered in 400V and 800V electric architectures, the new platform is compatible with front-, rear-, and four-wheel-drive powertrains. Although 'BEV-native', the platform can even accommodate a hybrid powertrain. While the company has yet to disclose the battery specifications of the Wagoneer S, STLA-Large comes with battery sizes ranging from 85kWh to 118kWh. 

In terms of performance, the new Jeep Wagoneer S, which draws power from a pair of electric motors, churns out 592bhp (600hp). This allows the electric SUV to accelerate from a halt to 97km/h in about 3.5 seconds (claimed).
