Like most automobile manufacturers in the world, Jeep has started to make moves towards electric vehicles. The US-based company introduced its first electric SUV model, Avenger, to us at the Paris Motor Show last month. It was also known that the giant brand will introduce an electric version of Wagoneer, its long and wide premium SUV.
The new car, which is expected to debut in 2023, was known as the Wagoneer S until now. However, the developments now showed that this will not be the name of the highly anticipated vehicle and that the company will take the help of users for this. With a competition with thousands of dollars prize!
Jeep launches contest for name of new electric SUV with $40,000 prize
Jeep started a competition on November 23 for the name of the electric Wagoneer model. It was stated that the contest, in which participation can be made through the link here, will continue until December 2, 2022, and that the person who proposes the chosen name will be awarded prizes of 40,000 dollars. It was reported that the award includes things such as a six-day vacation for four people at a ski resort in Wyoming, USA, with all expenses covered from transportation to accommodation, a guide, a $1,000 gift card at retail stores.
‘Can we also participate in this competition?’ We seem to hear you ask. Unfortunately this is not possible. Jeep says that only people in the USA can participate in the competition.
What features will the Electric Wagoneer have?
Let’s talk a little bit about the electric Wagoneer, which will debut in 2023. It is said that the car, which will join Jeep’s electric vehicle family, can offer a range of 643 kilometers on a single charge. It is also among the information that the 4×4 electric Wagoneer, which is expected to have 600 horsepower, can reach 0 to 100 kilometers in 3.5 seconds.
When we examine the vehicle, which was shown for the first time in September, we can see that Jeep will appear with an elegant and modern design without spoiling the very iconic Wagoneer look. In addition, we can say that the electric SUV, which seems to provide a nice experience to users with its width, attracts attention with its LED illuminated grille and Wagoneer lettering.
