Jeep vows four electric SUVs by 2025, including all-new Recon and Wagoneer S

J eep Jeep will introduce four new all-electric SUVs in North America and Europe by the end of 2025.

The first images of two fully electric SUVs, the Jeep Recon and the Wagoneer S, were shown to the public. The Jeep Avenger will be released in Europe early next year.

The battery capacity, trim levels, and price are still being kept under wraps. Jeep CEO Christian Meunier said that they would be announcing something soon. The fourth model will be revealed at a later time. Jeep will include a hybrid Wagoneers 4xe vehicle in the US. The company wants to be the number one seller of electric SUVs.

The BEV is going fast, according to Meunier.

The brand is seen as lagging behind the rest of the auto industry when it comes to electrification. Off-road and adventure vehicles, which are Jeep's bread and butter, are high on the list for electrification.

Jeep plans an off-roading version of the Grand Cherokee, the Trailhawk, which also comes with a hybrid motor, and has released plug-in hybrid versions of its Wrangler and Grand Cherokee SUVs. The automaker doesn't currently sell any battery-electric models.

Next year the Jeep Avenger will be available in Europe. Europe has a more mature EV charging network than the US, and EV outsells gas models in many European countries.

The Jeep Avenger will slot into the compact SUV market and have a target range of 400 kilometers. The Avenger will get a proper unveil at the Paris Auto Show on October 17th, but Jeep didn't give any major details for the vehicle.

It will be sold in parts of Asia, including Japan and South Korea, even though it won't be available in the US. The EV will be produced in Poland.

The name Recon was given to a package of options that included a suspension-lifted vehicle body for larger tires. The Jeep EV will only be offered as a battery-electric vehicle.

The Recon will haveremovable doors and roof panels. Jeep's chief design officer said that buyers will be able to "see a little bit of the Wrangler DNA infecting the design of the Recon." The Recon will have exposed door hinges like the Wrangler, which bucks the trend of sleek, aerodynamic body types for most electric vehicles.

There are many rugged, outdoor vehicles with a distinctive grille in front. The EV will come with Jeep's Selec-Terrain traction management system, as well as e-lockeraxle technology, under-body protection, tow hooks and off-road tires.

Detailed travel guides of notable off-road trails will be included in the latest generation of the U connect software.

Interested buyers will be able to reserve a Recon in early 2023. Jeep plans to sell the electric SUV in major markets around the world.

The last EV to be revealed was the Wagoneer S, though that is just a code name for now. The S stands for speed, striking, and sexy, according to Gilles. Jeep says the Wagoneer S will have a range of 400 miles on a single charge, 600hp, and a 3.5 seconds top speed.

The Wagoneer S will get a full reveal next year, but it looks a little lighter than the gas-powered name. The dimensions will be slightly smaller, with two rows instead of three, but the interior space will be the same. A growing trend in the EV market is the use of anLED grille.

If the window sticker on the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is any indication, the EV won't be cheap. The High Altitude starts at $58,340 and the Wrangler 4xe Sahara starts at $52,000.

According to experts, the Grand Cherokee 4xe will start at $60,000. The new lineup won't be eligible for the new EV tax credit in the US because of strict requirements for assembly and the source of battery materials.

The site for the $2.5 billion electric vehicle battery factory has been chosen. The plant will be built with the help of a South Korean company.

The automaker is dealing with delays in rolling out its Grand Cherokee 4xe hybrid, but they should be reaching dealerships right now. He pointed out Jeep's ties to its parent company, which is the fourth biggest auto manufacturer in the world.

He said that the global scale of Stellantis allowed them to pull all the resources they needed while focusing on the Jeep DNA and creating the best Jeep that they can build today.
