The Jeep Grand Wagoneer refresh gets an unexpected electrified powertrain option.
The Grand Wagoneer EREV powertrain has the exact same specs as the Ramcharger, but is a bit slower to accelerate.
Jeep hasn't said what its electric range is or when the EREV variant will be available for order.

Jeep will beat Scout Motors to the punch in launching America’s first extended-range electric vehicle with its upcoming Grand Wagoneer range extender.

This new electrified powertrain is part of an otherwise simplified lineup, which ditches the standard Wagoneer model in favor of the more luxurious Grand Wagoneer—while also dropping prices slightly.

But let's talk about the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) version, which parent company Stellantis also refers to as a range-extended electric vehicle, or REEV. Whatever you wan to call it, it features a 174-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, which acts solely as a generator to recharge the battery.

It’s not connected to the wheels, which are instead powered by electric motors to the tune of 647 hp and 620 lb-ft of torque. This allows the Wagoneer EREV to accelerate from a standstill to sixty in five seconds, making it the quickest variant in the lineup.

The 92-kilowatt-hour liquid-cooled battery pack is quite big by EREV standards. Looking at a similar-sized extended-range SUV from China, the Lynk & Co 900, which only has around 52 kWh of battery capacity, which gives it a claimed electric-only range of 174 miles on the optimistic Chinese test cycle. Since it’s not available outside China, the 900 doesn’t get a WLTP or EPA range rating, but its real-world electric range is likely closer to 110-120 miles.

The Lynk & Co 900 is around 850 pounds heavier than a Grand Wagoneer with a V-8, which weighs just over 5,300 lbs. But between its battery, which is almost double the size of the Lynk&Co’s, and its heavier V-6 generator, the Grand Wagoneer EREV will probably weigh over 6,000 lbs. If it’s the same battery that powers the Ram 1500 Ramcharger (and it likely is), then the pack alone weighs 1,216 lbs, according to Car and Driver.

While Stellantis is calling this "the industry’s first REEV," I'd argue that the BMW i3 and Chevrolet Volt would like a word. Regardless, this is the likely application for future such EREVs: they're ideal for bigger vehicles like trucks and SUVs that need to drive long distances and even tow without range anxiety.

Jeep doesn’t yet disclose what its electric range is, only stating that it has a combined electric and combustion range figure “upwards of 500 miles.” A rough estimate suggests it could approach 200 miles EPA, but since there aren’t that many EREVs to compare, it’s hard to estimate based on (still limited) specs alone.

The EREV setup is lifted from the Ram 1500 REV, née Ramcharger, which has the same battery, power and torque ratings. However, it has both more total range (690 miles) and quicker acceleration (4.5 seconds to 60 mph) and weighs just over 7,500 lbs. Something isn’t adding up right now, but Jeep will release more information and detailed specs closer to the model’s reveal.

The EREV variant will be part of the revised 2026 Grand Wagoneer lineup. It gets a fresh face, with a new bumper design complemented by a redesigned, more minimalist grille that integrates better with the headlights. The taillights are also new and they now form a full-width rear light bar. The model name has also been removed from the tailgate, which now only features the Jeep logo.

Jeep will only offer the refreshed gas models with V6 and V8 power, with the range extender getting “late availability.” No word on pricing for the electrified variant, but it's dropped prices across the board, so the base model now costs under $65,000, while the top-of-the-range Summit Obsidian long-wheelbase trim with 4x4 and all the bells and whistles costs just shy of $97,000.
