- The Jeep Wagoneer S is skipping the 2026 model year.
- Stellantis said it’s “pacing production,” but it’s unclear when output will resume.
- Jeep’s first U.S.-market EV is still available at dealerships, and the next model year will bring a native NACS charge port.
Jeep’s first electric SUV in the United States, the Wagoneer S, is skipping the 2026 model year after sales dropped under 200 units for the entirety of this year’s first quarter, according to Automotive News.
The Stellantis-owned brand associated with off-roading adventures said that the 2025 Wagoneer S is still available at Jeep dealerships “without interruption,” and that work is already underway for the launch of the 2027 model, which will bring a native Tesla-style NACS charge port.

However, it’s unclear when the updated model will go into production. In an official statement, the American automaker said it’s “pacing production of the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S to support future improvements in battery performance, software, and capability.”
The Wagoneer S is assembled in Toluca, Mexico, making it subject to import tariffs. What’s more, after the cancellation of the $7,500 federal tax credit last year, sales of Jeep’s first U.S.-bound EV fell off a cliff.
The car went on sale in January 2025 as a 600-horsepower sporty and luxurious people hauler, and it gained decent traction in its first nine months on the market, selling 10,426 units in the U.S. However, after the federal tax credit went away, the Wagoneer S became practically unsellable, with dealers pushing just 613 units from October of last year through March of 2026. In the first quarter of this year, Jeep sold only 175 Wagoneer S EVs stateside, making it one of the slowest-selling new EVs in the country.
The car’s $67,195 starting price and the fact that the software was glitchy and unresponsive when we tested it didn’t do Stellantis any favors either. That said, Jeep is trying to lure in buyers with a $7,750 manufacturer incentive, dropping the starting price to $59,445.
The American car company is also gearing up for the launch of the Recon, an all-electric alternative to the legendary Wrangler nameplate. It features removable doors, is capable of up to 650 horsepower, and boasts a maximum driving range of 230 miles.
