Jeep® is once again pushing the boundaries of 4×4 electrification with the unveiling of the Jeep Wrangler Magneto 3.0 Concept at the 57th Annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah.
This one-of-a-kind off-road beast is the third evolution of the Magneto concept, which was first introduced in 2021 as a fully capable battery-electric vehicle (BEV) designed to provide new levels of efficiency, environmental responsibility, and extreme performance both on and off the road.
Based on a two-door 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (JL), the Jeep Magneto 3.0 Concept features a custom-built axial flux electric motor that operates up to 6,000 rpm and connects to a 6-speed manual transmission for ultimate control. The compact e-motor has been updated to deliver even more torque output, providing the driver with two power settings to choose from: standard (285 horsepower/273 lb.-ft. of torque) and maximum (650 horsepower/900 lb.-ft. of torque).
What makes the Jeep Magneto 3.0 Concept truly impressive is its ability to deliver instant torque to the wheels, thanks to its peak amperage of 600 amps. This makes it an unmistakable rock-climbing force, capable of tackling the toughest terrain with ease. The vehicle also features a two-stage power regeneration mode, which allows for normal driving while off, or enhanced brake regeneration using the electric motor when engaged, and an aggressive hill descent mode for true “one pedal” off-road driving in serious rock-crawling situations.
To enhance its off-road capabilities, the Jeep Magneto 3.0 Concept is equipped with Dynatrac 60 front axles (5.38:1 ratio), Dynatrac 80 rear axles (5.38:1 ratio), 20-inch off-road Beadlock wheels, 40-inch mud terrain tires, and a custom 3-inch lift. Its updated paint scheme pays homage to all three evolutions of the concept vehicle, with a Bright White and Surf Blue motif and Vibrant Red accents.
Jeep has also made modifications to the vehicle’s proportion to improve accessibility, including a door opening that has been modified and swept back an additional 6-inches, and a B-pillar that has been moved rearward 60mm to make way for a custom anti-roll bar. The front fender has been stretched back on the trailing edge two inches, and the windshield has been raked back 12-degrees to give the side view a “chopped” roof feel without shortening the front glass.
Inside the vehicle, the front seats have been re-trimmed in rich blue leather and adorned with red accent stitching to match the exterior. The rear seats have been removed, and the floor has been Rhino-lined in Surf Blue for added functionality and durability.
Overall, the Jeep Wrangler Magneto 3.0 Concept is an impressive showcase of the brand’s commitment to electrification and off-road performance. With its powerful electric motor, instant torque delivery, and advanced off-road capabilities, it’s sure to turn heads and push the limits of what’s possible for a 4×4 vehicle.
