Jeep® Wagoneer COV Expands Into VIP Protection for 2026

The 2025 Jeep® Wagoneer Command Operations Vehicle (COV) has already made a name for itself within the law enforcement community, and now, Stellantis is expanding its reach. While the COV has been available to federal, state, and local law enforcement since early 2025, it will now become available for VIP protection and secure transport applications starting in 2026.

Developed with direct input from government agencies, the Jeep Wagoneer COV has seen strong demand since its debut. Most recently, it was showcased at the Stellantis Fleet Day event held at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, where more than 200 fleet customers experienced the vehicle on track, along with hands-on demonstrations of its advanced technology and capability.

“From Washington, D.C., motorcades to high-profile logistic requirements in every state and county across America, the Jeep Wagoneer COV is set to become a new leader in secure VIP transportation,” said Ryan Austin, Stellantis Law Enforcement Program Manager. “The Jeep brand’s reputation of rugged refinement sets the stage to make it the standard-bearer for our law enforcement and VIP protection program for years to come.”

Designed for maximum performance and security, the Wagoneer COV is powered by a 420 horsepower twin-turbo 3.0-liter HURRICANE Standard-Output (S/O) I6 engine and boasts best-in-class 10,000 lbs. towing capacity, along with Quadra-Lift® air suspension for automatic rear load leveling. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds, blending utility and power.

Inside and out, the COV is loaded with tech. Over 130 standard safety and security features include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, drowsy driver alerts, night vision with a 10-inch head-up display, and a full 360-degree camera system. It’s built to protect and respond in high-pressure situations.

A full upfit package is available, featuring Whelen emergency lighting, behind-the-grille siren, custom power distribution, and secure cargo or weapon storage systems, all factory-integrated for ease of service and reliability.

Comfort is also a priority. The COV includes eight-passenger seating, leather interior, three-zone climate control, and best-in-class legroom, headroom, and cargo space — over 130.9 cubic feet in total.

Every unit comes connected through Jeep® Connect services, providing remote control, health reports, over-the-air updates, and long-term support features, including stolen vehicle assistance and recall alerts.

Although it has already earned praise from law enforcement, the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer COV will become officially available for VIP Protection and Transport use starting with the 2026 model year. Canadian market details will be announced closer to launch.

With a proven track record and unmatched features in the segment, the Jeep Wagoneer COV is ready to protect and transport those who demand the very best.
