The Jeep Grand Wagoneer has an Official Debut Date — September 3rd
Jeep has been teasing its upcoming Grand Wagoneer model for over a week, but by now the brand has accompanied its social media posts with a simple message: “Coming Sept. 3.” So there we have it, now we know when Jeep will pull the tarps off its long-awaited three-row flagship SUV. In the lead up to the big reveal, the Jeep brand continues to provide an early look at the SUV. In a recent video posted to the brand’s Twitter feed, the automaker referred to the upcoming SUV as “the shape of premium.” The video, of course, doesn’t reveal much, but viewers do get a glimpse of the Grand Wagoneer’s silhouette with a backlit skyline as the shot quickly pans out. The only thing the video reasserts is the fact that the Grand Wagoneer is likely to be a much beefier Grand Cherokee.
The remaining teasers that Jeep offered up don’t reveal much at all either. So far, enthusiasts have only gotten a glimpse of a heavily-stylized seven slot grille, and a beautifully detailed dial that appears to be part of the infotainment system. Experts speculate that the dial button in question may also be a toggle for drive modes or a knob that works as an electronic gear selector. The only other image available is just a close-up of the Grand Wagoneer’s classy badge. Luxury is the name of the game and Jeep is attempting to make up for lost time as it enters the three-row luxury SUV segment. Some early reports suggest that the Grand Wagoneer will have a matching six-figure price tag, but nothing is official until Jeep makes the formal pricing announcement.
A standard Jeep Wagoneer is also expected to arrive shortly after the debut of the Grand Wagoneer, but it probably won’t be as glitzy. It certainly will not be as spacious — the standard Wagoneer is not expected to seat more than five passengers. Both upcoming Wagoneer models are rumored to ride on the Ram 1500 chassis, with an altered plug-in hybrid variant coming down the pipeline as well. Production is slated to kick off about a year from now, meaning Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer units should be rolling off the assembly line by the fourth quarter of 2021. A new generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is around the corner as well.
Destined to slot above the Grand Cherokee in the brand’s lineup, the Grand Wagoneer will trade in its smaller sibling’s architecture for a body-on-frame setup. Like we mentioned earlier, its underpinnings will be adopted from the popular Ram 1500 full-size pickup, thus it’s likely that the Grand Wagoneer will boast towing and hauling abilities that’ll put it at the top of its class. One difference between the Ram 1500 and Grand Wagoneer? The Grand Wagoneer will feature an independent rear suspension setup, leaving behind the live axle that’s part of the Ram 1500’s underpinnings.
Plenty of Jeepers are already itching to get behind the wheel of the Grand Wagoneer, but in the meantime, the Jeep lineup already has plenty to offer buyers. With models that range from total off-road icons, such as the all-new Jeep Gladiator and the Jeep Wrangler, to top-tier SUVs like the Grand Cherokee, Jeep has something for everyone.
