The Jeep You Probably Forgot About Is Going Away For 2026

The Jeep Wagoneer S has been a perpetual disappointment and some dealers are offering discounts of nearly $25,000 to help move inventory. The fire sale enabled Stellantis to move 10,864 units in the United States last year, but sales have plummeted following the elimination of the federal tax credit.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, dealers only moved 438 crossovers. That fell to a mere 175 units in the first quarter of 2026 and that puts the company on track to sell a pathetic 700 for the entire year.

However, even that sad figure now seems optimistic as the Wagoneer S is going away for 2026. The story was broken by Automotive News and confirmed to Car & Driver.

While the slow-selling crossover is going on hiatus like the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, it’s coming back for 2027. It also promises to be a tad more compelling when it returns as a spokesperson said they’re “pacing production of the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S to support future improvements in battery performance, software, and capability.”

Those will be welcome improvements, but the biggest change appears to be the introduction of a NACS port. This will enable owners to access Tesla Superchargers without the need for an adaptor.

These sound like good developments, but the biggest hurdle appears to be price. The Wagoneer S starts at $65,200 and climbs to $70,200 for the Launch Edition, which features an increased output of 600 hp (447 kW / 608 PS).

That’s pretty steep considering the Mustang Mach-E GT begins at $53,395 and can be equipped with the GT Performance Upgrade for an additional $1,295. While the Ford has a significantly lower output of 480 hp (358 kW / 487 PS), it’s slightly quicker than the Wagoneer S as it accelerates from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.3 seconds, compared to the Jeep’s 3.4 seconds.
