Have you heard about the latest news from Jeep? The brand is moving behind the scenes in the Brazilian automotive industry with large electric SUVs. It registered two electric 100% SUVs with INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property), promising to revolutionize the market with its innovations. The models in question are the Recon and Wagoneer S.
Recon: The Electric SUV with an Adventurous Spirit
Imagine driving down the road in an electric SUV that combines the best of the Renegade and Wrangler, but with an electric twist. This is the proposal of Recon, scheduled to be the first to be produced, launching later this year and manufactured in Mexico. Inspired by the iconic Wrangler, the Recon promises to be a worthy successor to the electric era.
Although its design resembles a compact model, the Recon will be based on the STLA Large platform, providing generous dimensions that you will love: 4.76 meters long, 1.89 meters wide and 2.87 meters wheelbase, approaching become the size of a Commander. Additionally, the possibility of removing the doors, a signature Wrangler feature, is being considered, adding a touch of adventure to the design.
Although power details have not yet been released, the Recon is expected to feature two electric motors, one on each axle, ensuring great off-road capability. Furthermore, the vehicle platform allows for an impressive range of up to 800 km on a single charge. Stay tuned for more information on this model throughout the year.
Wagoneer S: Luxury and Power in an Electric SUV
If you are a fan of luxury and performance, the Wagoneer S is made for you. Also based on the STLA Large platform, this model promises a more sophisticated approach, in line with Wagoneer's premium positioning in the United States.
Although there is still no set date for the start of production of the Wagoneer S, nor specific details about dimensions and engine, it is known that this vehicle will deliver around 600 hp of power. It is expected that, even sharing the platform with the Recon, the Wagoneer S will have a slightly lower autonomy, still representing an excellent option for those looking for luxury and performance.
Electric SUVs: Stellantis' Path to the Future
Have you ever stopped to think about the future of electric cars in Brazil? Stellantis, a conglomerate that houses brands such as Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge, is betting heavily on electrification, especially in the American market. In addition to the new Jeep models, Chrysler and Dodge also plan to launch electric models in the near future. Jeep, in turn, is leading this transition to electrification on the American continent.
In the Brazilian context, both the Recon and the Wagoneer S have the potential to reach the market. However, the Recon should be the pioneer, being launched first and more accessible, thanks to its production in Mexico, with which Brazil has a Free Trade agreement.
On the other hand, the Wagoneer S could benefit from Jeep's more premium positioning in Brazil. Furthermore, the brand is already establishing its presence in the electrified vehicle market, with models such as the hybrid Compass and Grand Cherokee. Therefore, the Wagoneer S is expected to attract consumers looking for luxury, power and sustainability.
In summary, the introduction of the Recon and Wagoneer S electric SUVs marks the beginning of a new era in the Brazilian automotive industry, where electrification and technological innovation will become increasingly present. With Jeep leading the charge, you can look forward to an exciting and sustainable future for car lovers in the country.
