Jeep has reconfirmed that the Wagoneer S will have a 600 hp all-wheel drivetrain and be capable of accelerating to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
Exact timing and pricing has not been announced, but Jeep refers to it as a “premium” product in keeping with the Wagoneer sub-brand’s positioning. Jeep held a naming contest for the production vehicle that received more than 80,000 entries and said the results led it to keep the concept’s Wagoneer S name.

While the Wagoneer S comes across as an all-electric Grand Cherokee, Jeep is also developing a more off-road-focused model called the Recon that has removable doors and lines up more with the Wrangler.
The final production version of the Recon has not yet been unveiled.
