Jeep’s been using social media to tease the return of the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer later this year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fiat Chrysler\u2019s been rolling out a slew of newly updated vehicles in recent months, like the Challenger Super Stock, the Jeep Gladiator Far Out and more. However, the game changer we\u2019ve all been waiting for \u2013 the Jeep Grand Wagoneer \u2013 is only getting a bit of a tease.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s been dropping little hints on social media that the time for the new high-end SUV is nigh. Jeep tweeted a picture of the Grand Canyon with the definition of Grand (magnificent and striking in appearance, size or style, if you\u2019re curious) with tag \u201cComing Soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

It followed that up with a partial picture of the car\u2019s badge and another of the push button starter that will bring the not-yet-revealed behemoth.<\/p>\n

The brand offered a little peek at the interior of the new Wagoneer\/Grand Wagoneer, including the push button starter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new model, which was originally scheduled to return last year, gives FCA a competitor in the large SUV market currently occupied at the luxury level by the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, in terms of domestic automakers.<\/p>\n

Details are still sparse, but it\u2019s expected to be offered in two versions, the Wagoneer, which will be standard model, and the Grand Wagoneer, the upscale model with an extended wheelbase. The new Grand Wagoneer will be built on the\u00a0Ram 1500 body-on-frame platform and is being produced at the Warren (MI) Truck Plant where the Ram was manufactured until recently. The smaller Wagoneer is expected to share the same platform as the Jeep Grand Cherokee.<\/p>\n

When it comes to power, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are likely to offer V-6 and V-8 engine options along with hybrid and plug-in-hybrid variants, although none of those have been confirmed by FCA officials.<\/p>\n

FCA CEO Mike Manley, who headed up Jeep when it was revealed it was bringing the Wagoneer<\/p>\n

and Grand Wagoneer back, elaborated a bit on what to expect at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wagoneer name represents, historically, the pinnacle of premium for the Jeep world,\u201d Manley said in 2016. \u201cBut in the same way as you may have an Overland and a Summit, you have different trim levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you could imagine the use of Wagoneer to denote a really premium vehicle, and Grand Wagoneer takes it to the very next level. If you were to use that as your naming strategy, that\u2019s exactly how I would use the trims.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nothing in the recently dropped social media breadcrumbs leads us to think anything has changed. In fact, with a slew of new high-end offerings coming in the next six to 12 months, like the new all-electric GMC Hummer, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer need to be pretty impressive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
