When a company is on the verge of releasing a new product, there may be no better way to get the word out than to engage the public in a contest, to name it.
That is exactly the angle the Stellantis Automotive conglomerate has taken with its all-new all-electric SUV code-named Wagoneer 'S'.
Scheduled to appear in North American showrooms in 2024, the new Jeep offering is expected to pack 600 hp (447 kW), enabling it to vault from 0 to 60 mph (97 kph) in a mere 3.5 seconds with a 400-mile (644 km) range. Jeep will start taking customer orders in early 2023.
The vehicle, as shown, certainly has a slick and streamlined profile while still maintaining a certain Wagoneer swagger that Jeep loyalists have come to expect. The highlight of the exterior is a LED-lit front grille that provides a menacing appearance at night.
The all-electric Wagoneer first appeared on the scene as part of brand’s 4xe Day on September 8, 2022.
"At the recent Detroit Auto Show, we said that our community will play a part in the process of naming such a special vehicle," said Christian Meunier, Jeep brand CEO. "Today, we are delivering on that promise by providing owners and enthusiasts an opportunity to submit a name for the first-ever electric Wagoneer. This premium and highly efficient SUV is loaded with technology, craftsmanship, and performance, expanding our presence in the premium mid-sized SUV segment, and it will become an essential player in our global EV product offensive," added Meunier.
Anyone wanting to enter the contest must be a permanent legal resident of the U.S., including the District of Columbia, and follow the instructions at Jeep's website to fully complete and submit the entry form, along with a 50-character (or less) name for the new Wagoneer SUV model.
The winner will receive a vacation for four valued at $40,000 at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The grand prize includes airfare, lodging, lift tickets, rentals, guide or instruction, and a $1,000 gift card to the resort's retail store.
The contest runs from November 23 thru December 2nd.
