2024 Jeep Wagoneer S
No, the Range Rover was not the first luxury 4x4, but the Jeep Wagoneer, which came much earlier, of course later with a V8 and automatic transmission. In 1991 it disappeared from the range and only reappeared in 2021,
essentially unchanged, but based on the Dodge RAM 1500.
Yes, the Americans will have to limit themselves. Anyone who is used to the small Wagoneer, which is well over 5 m long and has a 3.2 m wheelbase, will have to make do with considerably less space here. This seems to
be seen as a tribute to the purely electric technology.
So there are normal interior dimensions, whereas in the combustion engine Wagoneer you are used to six seats with a center console that extends all the way to the back. Of the many screens, at least three are still in the
dashboard and one in the center console.
An incredible number of assistants are being communicated, but the criticism of the combustion engine says that everything works except for the self-driving function. Good when you are alone on the road, but there is still
room for improvement for Europe. Big talk about Over-the-Air-Updates (OTA), even performance increases are supposed to be bookable.
The battery capacity is not mentioned, but we know from models that already use this platform that we can expect around 100 kWh gross. Of course, that would have been a small catastrophe for the big Wagoneer or the
even bigger ones.
The announcement that they want to compete with Tesla's Model Y can only be judged once there is a price tag on the car. The criticism that it 'only' has a 400V system seems to be exaggerated. We'll just look at the
charging performance later and then maybe grumble.
