5 Exciting Tech Features on the New Jeep Wagoneer S

The future is here, and Jeep is no stranger to it. With the new model year comes the all-new, all-electric 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S, promising to not only be an EV equivalent to Jeep’s popular premium model but a demonstration of their finest technology. The most exciting thing upfront might be that new all-electric powertrain, featuring all-wheel drive (AWD) capability for excellent traction on-road and off, 600 hp for thrilling driving dynamics, 617 lb-ft of torque allowing for up to 3,400 lbs of towing capability, and a lightning-quick 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds. With all that plus over 300 miles of range, it makes sense that all-electric performance is generating plenty of buzz in the automotive world.

If you’re considering making the Wagoneer S your next family SUV, adventure vehicle, or daily driving companion, we’re sure that you want to know more than just the stats of the electric motors. There are plenty of other features that can greatly influence how enjoyable your time behind the wheel will be. So today, we’re going to look beyond the battery and motors of the new Wagoneer S and explore five tech features that can elevate your driving experience.

#1 – Wireless Connectivity

The Jeep App is already a great way for Jeep drivers to keep track of vehicle diagnostics, schedule service, and access remote control features, but on the Wagoneer S, it gets even better. You can use your phone to start the climate control system before you enter the vehicle so you can stay comfortable during hot summer afternoons and cold winter mornings, and you can remotely open the windows to air out the cabin. You can use the app to personalize a “welcome” sequence with animated lighting that’s sure to put a smile on your face and impress any first-time passengers.

However, the Wagoneer S offers even more helpful connectivity features as an EV. It’s no secret that charging an EV takes longer than filling up a tank with gas, but since charging stations can easily be built in parking lots, you can charge up while you shop, run errands, or grab a bite to eat. With the Jeep App, you don’t have to guess how much your battery has charged while you’ve been away. You can check your phone and see what percentage of charge you’ve reached, how many miles of range that translates to, and how much time is left until a full charge.

There are even connectivity features to help you find a charging station in the first place. You can use the app to locate compatible stations near you when you’re out and about. If you’re on a road trip, you can take advantage of dynamic range mapping. This feature keeps track of how much range you have left and suggests charging stations along your route to keep you fully powered as you travel.

#2 – All the Screens You Need

The Wagoneer S doesn’t just have futuristic components under the surface—it also has a cabin that looks the part. That includes an infotainment system with screens totaling a best-in-class 45 inches of total display screen area. The central touchscreen is easy to access and large enough to show graphics and camera feeds in full detail, so you can see everything you need at a glance. This screen features the latest technology from Jeep, making it more responsive than past versions and providing a wide range of color saturation and backlighting options so that it looks good and reads clearly in all kinds of circumstances. The digital gauge display behind the wheel puts vital information in your direct line of sight.

Of course, you should only quickly glance at your screens when you’re driving. If you have a passenger sitting up front with you, it’s a good idea to delegate screen responsibility to them so you can keep your eyes on the road and avoid distraction as much as possible. To help make this arrangement even easier, the Wagoneer S offers a segment-exclusive front-passenger display on the right side of the dashboard. This allows your second-in-command to pull up camera views, add stops to the navigation, or simply change up the music without leaning into your personal space.

#3 – Easy Access

Before you can go anywhere, you have to get into the vehicle. The Wagoneer S makes this easy with electronic door releases, a new feature for the Jeep brand. This lets you open the door with a light touch and allows the door handles to be flush, making the Wagoneer S more aerodynamic. In fact, this is just one of many design choices that come together to make the Wagoneer S the most aerodynamic Jeep SUV ever, which helps it deliver the best range possible, provide a smooth ride, and stun onlookers with a sleek look.

#4 – Advanced Driver Assistance Features

Whether your SUV is powered by gasoline, diesel, or clean electricity, it needs to be able to keep you safe. The Wagoneer S has a wide array of safety and driver assistance features to help you avoid danger and maneuver smartly, whether crawling through a crowded parking lot or zooming down the highway. Some of these features are probably familiar to you by now; Forward Collision Warning, Active Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, Active Lane Management, Traffic Sign Recognition, Drowsy Driver Detection, and Adaptive Cruise Control have been becoming more popular and widespread over the last few years as their utility has been proven. The Wagoneer S is no exception, but it does so much more.

Keeping track of the vehicle directly in front of you is relatively easy, but at an intersection, you also have to worry about vehicles coming at you from the side. The Wagoneer S has an advanced Intersection Collision Assist feature that uses multiple sensors to prevent accidents at busy intersections. Side Distance Warning also keeps you fully aware of your surroundings, warning you if another vehicle is getting too close to you on one side or the other. For long drives, when you want extra help keeping track of everything so you don’t burn out on the road, you can use the Active Driving Assist system to ensure your vehicle stays centered in its lane and a respectful distance from the vehicle ahead of you.

Safety isn’t just an issue on the highway. Driving cautiously in parking lots and other crowded areas is important, even when moving at very low speeds. This is especially true with an SUV, which has a higher vantage point that comes in handy in some situations but can make visibility difficult in others. The 360º Surround View Camera makes up for this downside, giving you a complete picture of the area around your vehicle. And if you have trouble parking, you can rest easy. ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist with Active Rear Park Warning gives you warnings to help you gauge the distance between you and other vehicles or obstacles like walls or gates, while Fully Autonomous Parking can take the wheel entirely and guide you into your space automatically.

#5 – Lovely Lighting Inside & Out

Practical features are important on the road, but that doesn’t mean a vehicle must be all work and no play. One fun tech feature of the Wagoneer S is its customizable LED ambient lighting. You can make the interior your own at the tap of a touchscreen with 64 selectable colors to choose from. Celebrate a holiday, coordinate with the theme of an event you’re driving to, or make the cabin a little more fun on a random drive across town. The iconic seven-slot grille that makes a vehicle recognizable as a Jeep is also adorned with lights that can be used to customize your personal wake-up routine every time you approach the SUV. Inside and out, the Wagoneer S shines, literally and figuratively.
