Concept car · 2021 · Electric
An all-electric Wrangler that kept a six-speed manual gearbox
Revealed at the 2021 Easter Jeep Safari, the Magneto proved an EV Wrangler could keep Jeep's off-road DNA, and its manual transmission. A custom axial-flux motor made 285 hp and 273 lb-ft, driving through a stick-shift six-speed and two-speed transfer case to solid axles. Four lithium-ion packs totaling 70 kWh ran an 800-volt system, at the cost of a 5,750-lb curb weight.
