Jeep Wagoneer S will go on sale in Europe in 2025

The big three US companies General Motors, Ford, and Jeep are still lagging when it comes to offering electric cars. This even applies to large SUVs, which should be the domain of US manufacturers. However, Jeep will soon be launching a large electric SUV with the Wagoneer S.

The brand’s new top model will have around 450 kW and will therefore sprint to reference speed in around 3.5 seconds. The range will be around 600 km, writes Autocar, without naming a source. According to Jeep, the name Wagoneer S is only a temporary designation; the final name has not yet been revealed.

The car will come onto the market in 2024, but initially only in the USA – the car is also primarily aimed at US customers. But the model, which is over five meters long, will also reach us: limited numbers will come to Europe from 2025. The Jeep Wagoneer S is intended to compete in the premium segment and take on the BMW iX. 

Jeep’s new electric car range will have four models, including the entry-level Jeep Avenger, which we already sell, the Wagoneer S, and the Jeep Recon. The fourth model is not yet known.

While the Avenger is still based on the old eCMP platform, the Wagoneer S is one of the first Stellantis models to be based on the new STLA Large platform. The same goes for the Recon, a kind of electric version of the Wrangler. The two newcomers should share most of the components. The Recon is also expected to have similar launch dates as the Wagoneer S. A year ago it said: “Production of this global SUV will begin in North America in 2024 and will be sold in key markets around the world, including Europe.”

Batteries and drives will probably be similar for the Recon and the Wagoneer S. However, it is not yet known which units will be installed. The STLA Large platform, which was introduced in 2021, supports batteries with 101 to 118 kWh storage capacity and drive axles with 150 to 330 kW. Two of these are installed in all-wheel drive vehicles so that 450 kW is easily achievable. Stellantis stated the platform’s maximum range in 2021 as 800 km.

The Jeep Wagoneer S was introduced a year ago, together with the Avenger and the Recon. A model called Wagoneer has been sold in the USA since 2021. It is a 5.45 meter long, eight-seater “full-size SUV”. The Grand Wagoneer model, which is also offered, is not larger, just better equipped. However, there is also a 5.76-meter long version called the Wagoneer L or Grand Wagoneer L. All models have rear-wheel drive as standard, and an all-wheel drive system is available for an additional charge.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
