Jeep Wagoneer S Limited vs Tesla Y and Others (updated)

The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Limited

At the Chicago Auto Show today, Jeep showed off the new Wagoneer S Limited, which is considerably cheaper than the Launch Edition but also has fewer luxury features and a 100-hp power cut—albeit to 500 hp, which means it has more horses than the old 392 SRT engines did. The Limited may not be the … Read more

Stellantis promises US dealers affordable Rams, predictable incentive programs

2024 Jeep Recon BEV

When Stellantis was eager for margins, it let dealership lots get clogged with high-margin cars while competitors cut their prices.

The base price of the Jeep Wagoneer S remains a mystery, but the well equipped Launch Edition of the new 400V electric crossover, with a single-speed gearbox, has shown its price.

NY Auto Show to feature Camp Jeep, Early Access tickets

2024 Jeep Gladiator at New York Auto Show Camp Jeep

The New York Auto Show has been a rather unexpected background for the outdoor Camp Jeep so long it’s become a tradition.

The show itself runs from March 18 through April 27, … Read more

Yes, the Wagoneer S seems to be on sale

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition

They might just be fast-feedback cars, or maybe one or two special editions going to influencers, but Stellantis reported 133 Jeep Wagoneer S sales during 2024.

Jeep Wagoneer S Ad

I believe that a relatively low number of Jeep Wagoneer owners go off-roading and when the all-electric Wagoneer S hits dealerships early next year, I expect that even fewer of those owners will spend time playing in the mud.

Jeep recalls: tiny Grand and Renegade

Renegade (RED)

Jeep has recalled two sets of vehicles for two different problems. 2021-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokees may have front seat airbags that do not work in a crash, because of an improperly secured connector. The solution is obvious, and every affected vehicle has already been fixed, making the paperwork seem superfluous; and only 14 vehicles sold … Read more

Jeep Commander arriving in Mexico (corrected)

Mexican Jeep Commander

The Jeep Commander, sold for some time in Brazil, is going on sale in Mexico and other countries. While it has the same name as China’s lengthened Cherokee, this is more like India’s Jeep Meridian; it’s based on the Compass.

Two more Jeep recalls this week

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve

Jeep had two more recalls this week, both affecting 2024 models. The Jeep Wrangler can have inoperative trailer lighting, but only 34 vehicles in the US (and presumably a handful elsewhere in the world) are affected.
