Is the Jeep Wagoneer S a good car?

The Jeep Wagoneer S has a clear appeal if you want an electric SUV with strong performance and a premium-feeling cabin, but the trade-offs are just as clear. The all-generations owner rating is 1/5 across every model year in the data.

Expert reviews rate the 2024 and 2025 models among the highest across all years.

The main recurring drawbacks are poor ride quality, unimpressive electric range, and technical glitches.

31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Jeep Wagoneer S models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently point to quick acceleration and an impressive stereo as the model’s standout strengths. At the same time, the overall owner feedback is very low, so you should approach used ownership with caution and plan for a careful inspection before you buy.

• Owners rate the Jeep Wagoneer S 1.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

Long-term ownership risk looks elevated for used buyers, especially if you want a trouble-free EV experience.

Should I buy a used Jeep Wagoneer S now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings. The Jeep Wagoneer S offers a conservative, SUV-like design and a tech-forward cabin that should feel familiar if you want an EV without flashy styling.

Consider waiting if:

• Range & charging: A 100-kWh battery pack gives the Wagoneer S an estimated range of 294 miles on a full charge, and DC fast charging is possible up to 203 kW, which should replenish the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 23 minutes.
• Tech: All Wagoneer S models come standard with a digital instrument panel, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a nine-speaker Alpine audio system.
• Safety: Standard advanced safety features include frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alerts, front and rear parking sensors, automatic high beams, a traffic sign reader, and a hands-free highway driving system that combines the cruise control and lane-keep assist.
• Starting price: The entry-level Limited trim starts at $67,195.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
