The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S AWD, equipped with Falken tires, achieves an EPA-estimated 97 MPG equivalent. This figure affirms that Jeep can build a zero-emission SUV that doesn’t compromise on space, style, or the technology expected in a premium vehicle. The Wagoneer S is for the buyer who wants a taste of the future, but still needs the usability of a classic SUV, and doesn’t want to pay the price of comparable luxury brands.

City and highway performance

The Wagoneer S shines with its individual city and highway MPG ratings. In the city, it achieves 104 MPGe, making it efficient in stop-and-go traffic where regenerative braking can maximize energy recovery. On the highway, it gets 90 MPGe. This reflects that at higher speeds, the vehicle relies more on direct battery power rather than regenerative braking to maintain momentum. The highway number is still competitive within the electric SUV segment, and provides confidence for longer road trips.

Annual fuel cost

The EPA estimates the annual fuel cost for the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S AWD at $800. This calculation assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year, with a blend of city and highway miles, and uses the national average electricity prices. An $800 annual fuel bill significantly lowers the total cost of ownership compared to traditional gasoline-powered SUVs. The savings at the “pump” (or in this case, the charger) can offset a portion of the vehicle’s initial price tag.

Real-world expectations

EPA estimates provide a standardized benchmark, however real-world fuel economy varies depending on driving habits, terrain, weather conditions, and cargo load. Aggressive acceleration and frequent hard braking will diminish the range, as will consistently driving at high speeds or towing.

Conversely, smooth acceleration and anticipating traffic conditions will increase efficiency. Consider preconditioning the cabin while the vehicle is still plugged in, as this saves battery power compared to heating or cooling the cabin while driving.

How it compares

The electric SUV market is becoming increasingly competitive. The Audi e-tron, for example, delivers around 78 MPG combined. The Tesla Model X achieves around 102 MPG. Even the Rivian R1S, designed for serious off-road adventures, gets about 76 MPG combined. The Wagoneer S stands out with its 97 MPG rating, placing it in a sweet spot between efficiency and utility. The WAGONEER MPG across all years highlights Jeep’s commitment to efficiency.

Tips to maximize efficiency

Take advantage of regenerative braking. The Wagoneer S uses regenerative braking to recapture energy during deceleration. Employing a driving style that anticipates stops and allows for more gradual deceleration will funnel more energy back into the battery, extending your range.

Pay attention to tire pressure. Ensure your Falken tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, which reduces fuel efficiency. Regular tire pressure checks contribute to both safety and range optimization.

Limit accessory usage. Running power-intensive accessories like air conditioning or the sound system can impact fuel economy. While comfort is important, using these features judiciously can help preserve battery power, particularly on longer drives.

Plan your charging strategy. Use off-peak charging times to take advantage of lower electricity rates. Setting a charging schedule can also help manage battery health and ensure the vehicle is always ready for your next journey. See all Jeep fuel economy data.
