It turns out that even when they don’t have an internal combustion engine, Jeeps are still leaking (don’t shoot, this is content with having a Jeep and it’s allowed to make this joke). A fan forum, in the form of an Internet forum. , claims to have stumbled upon leaked photographs of the upcoming all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S, and we have to say he’s a bystander.
Claiming that the images come from a conveniently deleted Facebook post, the Mopar Insiders team shared two images of the Wagoneer S last January, featuring an attractive brute who manages to retain Jeep’s styling cues while still dragging the logo into a style. This month’s official trailers only showed the appearance of an illuminated grille, something that has temporarily become a favorite of logos like Merc and BMW. Then it’s clear who Jeep thinks it’s suing.
The two-tone appearance of the silver frame and black roof is in line with what Jeep offers in the Grand Cherokee L and other models. What is technically a “seven-slot” grille sits between the bookends of the narrow headlights, although no grille is required and the property has become a natural exercise in taste in family relationships. We don’t argue.

Around back are a set of taillamps which could have been lifted from an alternate-universe Grand Cherokee, plus a long rear spoiler which juts out from the top of this models’ rear hatch. Viewed from an elevation, it’s big enough to look like a basket handle, but will surely be less visually arresting at eye level. We will note the presence of ‘Jeep’ branding on the rear hatch, something currently present on Wagoneer gassers; and the lack of a Trail Rated badge on its front fender.
There’s every chance in the world that the most productive variants of this device will ramp up to six hundred all-electric horsepower, which is ideal for reaching highway speed in about 3. 5 seconds. Beyond this party hack, look for more practical versions that will offer enough diversity with a fully charged battery in exchange for mind-blowing acceleration.
Despite the presence of a consonant on this mule’s D-pillar, we fervently hope that Jeep will come up with a bigger name for this than the “Wagoneer S,” a moniker that was meant to be just a placeholder when Stellantis started talking. A few years ago.
Sure, we get that Jeep wants to grow Wagoneer as a sub-brand, but there’s nothing to stop it appending something unique to the name rather than the nineteenth letter in our alphabet. There’s plenty of history from which to draw, after all. How about Wagoneer Tornado? Or, for that matter, the Super Wagoneer, as from 1966 to 1969?
Expect to officially see the all-electric Wagoneer this calendar year.
