The 2026 Jeep Wagoneer S is a midsize battery-electric SUV in the premium segment, with a five-passenger, four-door crossover wagon body style. It competes with models like the Cadillac Lyriq, Tesla Model Y, and Rivian R1S. The 2026 model year is a carryover from the prior year, featuring the discontinuation of the Launch Edition trim while retaining the core design and features. The standard drivetrain is a dual-motor all-electric all-wheel-drive system with permanent-magnet synchronous motors that produce 500 horsepower and 524 lb-ft of torque. The optional Propulsion Boost package increases performance to 600 horsepower and 617 lb-ft of torque. This setup draws power from a 94-kWh battery pack, which provides an EPA-estimated range of 294 miles.

The vehicle includes the Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a 12.3-inch central touchscreen for navigation and media, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 10.3-inch lower screen for climate and comfort controls. Optional equipment adds a passenger-side display and head-up display for a total of nearly 45 inches of screen space, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Standard advanced driver-assistance systems encompass adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and hands-free highway driving capability. The Jeep Connect app enables remote start, lock/unlock, and vehicle status monitoring, supported by over-the-air software updates and subscription options for navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot, and security features.
