Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk Concept is a go-anywhere electric 4x4
Jeep reveals wicked-looking Wagoneer S Trailhawk Concept
Last week, Jeep officially launched the Wagoneer S, an all-electric luxury 4x4 that puts out over 600 PS and can travel up to 482 km on a single charge. It's also packed to the brim with countless features and amenities to keep the occupants relaxed and entertained.
Jeep claims the Wagoneer S can go off-road although we believe it's more likely built to cover light trails instead of outright off-road terrain. However, Jeep was also busy with another vehicle to show that they can indeed build EVs for even the most unforgiving terrain.
Say hello to the Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk Concept, and boy does it look ready to take whatever Mother Nature throws at it. With an emphasis on delivering a rugged and fully capable electric SUV, the wicked-looking concept is our best look yet at a go-anywhere version of the Wagoneer S.
Right off the bat, the 4x4 electric concept greets you with an aggressive front fascia with a more rugged-looking bumper. It also comes with a lifted suspension, heavy-duty tow hooks, and a roof rack to carry extra cargo while traversing uneven terrain. To ensure it can take on the road less traveled, it's fitted with chunky 31.5-inch off-road tires that are shod in 18-inch multi-piece alloy wheels.
Also worth mentioning is the illuminated seven-slot grille that bears textured spots and Storm Gray Metallic accents that give the 4x4 a more discerning look. To keep the Wagoneer S Trailhawk aerodynamic in any condition, Jeep fitted it with functional air extractors to improve performance in high-pressure zones under high-speed conditions.
“Like all Jeep brand SUVs, the new 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S descends from a rich heritage and is composed with legendary capability, innovative design, and the flexibility to perform at its best both on- and off-road. The Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk concept vehicle, builds upon the flexible STLA Large platform, showcases what the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S lineup is truly capable of, whether cornering tight turns with ease or traversing new ground off the beaten path,” said Antonio Filosa, Jeep Brand CEO.
Hop inside and the interior has been given a makeover for a more adventure-themed look & feel. It has soft synthetic surfaces wrapped in Mantis Green and is spruced up with meteorite-inspired veneer. Storm Dark Metallic accents and Radical Red anodizing are then used to highlight the vehicle's off-road capability.
The steering wheel was also given attention and features tactical-inspired grip handles on the 3 and 9 o'clock positions for easier all-terrain driving. It even has a rounder profile for quicker hand-over-hand maneuvering over any terrain. The instrument panel gets a functional cross-grab bar for passenger stability off-road and even comes with exposed fasteners plus 1/4-20 threaded inserts to mount gear or any devices.
Aggressive front seats provide the concept with a balance of sporty and luxurious appointments derived from the standard Jeep Wagoneer S. For extra comfort, both the front seats are wrapped in Mantis Green upholstery and are heated/ventilated, too. Last but not least, the doors & center console feature a new modular cargo system with elastic straps that will allow users to store gear easily.
With Jeep serious about offering rugged yet stylish electric 4x4s, the Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk Concept looks like it could soon become a production vehicle. Fingers crossed Jeep eventually makes it a reality.
