Jeep's first EV is quiet luxury. Leave the doors on, enjoy the posh seats, and leave the off-roading to the Wrangler.

We get behind the wheel of the 2024 Wagoneer S Launch Edition to see what Jeep's first full-electric vehicle is all about.

The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition is a cleanly styled, convincingly upscale, and competitively equipped electric SUV. My main complaints are its high price, hard-to-keep-clean screens, and dissatisfying steering. In nearly all other respects, this is a premium EV worth considering.

A sleek, aerodynamic, mid-sized five-passenger vehicle with more power than you would ever need, it arrived a year late but looks like it will be worth the wait

The $71,995 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition piles on the standard equipment—everything from heated and cooled power front seats, all the digital displays, wireless smartphone charging, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and delicious sound that emanates from a 1,200-watt McIntosh sound system with 19 speakers and a 12-inch subwoofer.

On sale now, the first Wagoneers are 2024 "Launch Edition" models snazzed to a $71,995 price point inclusive of a $1795 destination charge. But buyers who don't like Bright White paint with a black roof will be dinged an additional $595 for any of the other five colors.

We’ll spare you a chronology of Jeep’s electrification misadventures; suffice it to say that the Wagoneer S was supposed to arrive last year, along with the Jeep Recon EV, giving the brand two all-electric offerings in the U.

This is it folks, our chance to drive the world’s first-ever all-electric Jeep has arrived. It’s called the Wagoneer S, and as you can tell by its nameplate, it’s a version of the Auburn Hills’ automaker's flagship model.

Jeep wants you to take a chance on its first EV, with discounts on the Wagoneer S, ranging from a few bucks to well over 10 grand at some dealers.
