2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Consumer Reviews

Good but not great Luxury EV
My 2025 Wagoneer S Limited is my fifth electric vehicle. I’ve found it to be a very good car. I disagree with Edmunds statement of it being loud or riding poorly. It rides firm like my 2022 Mach E but has a MUCH nicer interior than the Mach E. It rides a thousand times better than my 2023 Model Y AND is quieter AND has a nicer interior although Tesla’s Software and route planning shames uConnect 5.0. I’ve only owned it late Summer/early Fall but I’ve never seen my efficiency less than 3.1 mi/kWh and have seen it as high as 3.9. I consistently get ~285 miles/charge and I do a fair amount of highway travel. I’d love it if Edmunds bought one for long term testing. Lows are the mobile app and its routing software. As I said I do a fair amount of highway driving and I KNOW where there are good DCFCs but the software doesn’t recognize them as L3 chargers even when I put the Chargers’ addresses in and can SEE them on their map but can’t click them. So I’ll stick with other routing software like ABRP. Edmunds asked for an update: Now at 6,000 miles. No issues. Still a quiet comfortable highway cruiser. Drove 205 miles on the highway to the beach last weekend and arrived with 77 miles/26% SoC. Used the Rivian chargers on the island and maxed out at 200kW and averaged 140kW during a 26% to 80% charge.

A great upgrade
Its got a wonderful and quiet interior. Im coming from a Leaf and a bolt. Its far quieter than any ICE car. The interior in the Launch version is a super nice upgrade. I think Edmunds is off base on several of their findings, as there is a lot to learn in driving the car as far as range estimation and use. FOr their cruise control issue, there is a "creep" setting that with allow the car to roll or brin it to a stop. It sounds like they had creep set to "on". As far as reliability issues, those were real, with long storage times for the 2024s, many 12v batteries were discharged. However as of early July soft ware updates have been released fixing 95% of the problems people experience. as a result you can actually get a low cost lease on a very enjoyable vehicle. With the discounts on offer it has both the value and the features to compete. time willt tell if reliability is as good, but EV are intrinsically more reliable than ICE cars, so it should be fairly good, long term.

Do Not Throw Away Your Money On This Car
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY BUYING THE WAGONEER “S” READ THIS. Let my story be a cautionary tale for you folks. I recently bought a Wagoneer “S” Launch Edition, I have to honestly admit, I didn’t read the reviews the way I should have had. I should have researched more. Like an idiot, I was hung up on the design, the advertised mileage and the 600 horsepower and 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. The 0 percent financing and the $7500 “potential” tax credit were also motivators. I brought mine from Joe Marino in Chicago. The dealership has no experience selling or repairing EVs. During the sale, I had to pull up Jeep posts and they had to talk to corporate to even be able to sell the car. That in itself should have been a warning sign. I guess I am not that bright after all, so I do take blame for my own mistakes, but I hope I can help you not to make the same mistake. Let’s talk about the milage, it is a lie, the brand-new car never charged up more than 257 miles and never even near the 300+ mile they advertise. When I asked my service manager, he laughed and said, “Yeah, that’s if you don’t turn on the radio, air conditioning or the lights!” WTF?! The brand new car should at least on its first charge show the capability and the capacity. He also said, since we live in Chicago, that the car will probably not even break 200 miles during the winter months! So don’t be fooled by the advertised “300+” milage range Once I drove the car off the lot, I had immediate issues with the car, it would not move forward or back when in D or R. While parked, it displayed “Stop Safely, vehicle will shut off soon,” and the app would show my car as being on a charger, when it wasn’t. Air conditioning was not working; the absolute constant Bluetooth kicking the phone off and glitching was unbearable to even listen to a single song from beginning to the end; the grill lights and the fog lights still don’t work. To top it off, this $70K “luxury” car has the most basic door hinges where you must slam the door as if it is a Wrangler. The brakes were not working properly either and the car would roll forward especially at higher speeds on the highway. The dealership made an excuse that literally the day after I bought my car, there was a “new update” that would fix everything. This “rrt” magically happened the day after I bought the car. Even after downloading that, the glitches are still there, the lights still don’t work, the air conditioning still comes and goes, the Bluetooth still glitches, etc. My favorite of all the issues with this car is that this $70K “luxury” car does not come with a front license plate holder, which is unlawful in Chicago, and you have to pay for it out of pocket. OK, I said how much? They told me that it doesn’t matter because it is on back-order with no ETA! It also doesn’t come with a spare tire. To top it all off, when I went to register the car at the DMV, they had no record of a Wagoneer “S”, so I had to pay extra for a full-sized Wagoneer because this car has not been registered with the state! I mean this is the amateur hour! But if none of these have convinced you so far to avoid this car like a plague, this should stop you from investing your money like I did, because this car is not selling. The combination of the high price and bad reviews have stunted its sales. There are dealerships that have been forced to sell the car at a much lower prices, some as low as $58K. That means I am upside down on my investment. Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, will be forced to lower the price just to clear the inventory. This car will have zero resale value. Don’t throw away your money like me. I’m speaking to my attorneys and see what options I have now but this is what I get for trying to buy American. German and Asian cars, hell even Cadillac, is a better investment than the Wagoneer S. There is a reason you are not seeing these cars on the road.

Love my WAGS
I have a little over 15,000 km on my 2025 Launch Edition. I have had no issues, and I absolutely love the car; it's so fun to drive and super fast. I get asked all the time what kind of car it is; people have no idea. I just love the look of the car—super sporty. Jeep did a great job with this one. I got great range in the summertime. Mind you, in the wintertime, it's less than ideal, about 50% less. I'm also in Ontario, so the weather is very cold. That would be my only con to the car; other than that, it's absolutely spectacular.
