Finally someone from Jeep is talking about the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer!
Jeep North America boss Jim Morrison was interviewed by Auto Guide and he mentioned that we should expect news on the Grand Wagoneer soon.
We wrap up on a subject we’re practically obligated to touch on: Morrison’s tease of the Grand Wagoneer earlier in the day. “Yeah, I’d probably be fired. I might be fired anyway,” he laughs. The Wagoneer, which is expected to debut some time this year before arriving as a 2022 model, will fill the seven-seater hole in the lineup. It would sit above the brand’s best-selling Grand Cherokee, and based on Morrison’s earlier comments, should offer an electrified powertrain option. A bigger Jeep is something brand fans have been asking for since the Commander ended production in 2011.
“I think one of the things we like about the Jeep brand is that we pay attention to what our customers are saying,” Morrison comment. “They’ve said they wanted a pickup truck? We’ve given the Gladiator. They’ve said they wanted a Wrangler with a diesel? We’ve given them EcoDiesel. So obviously we pay attention to them and close attention to what our customers are looking for. It makes a lot of sense to be next out of the chute with the Grand Wagoneer, but more on that soon.”
It's not a lot I know but after months of nothing it's good to see someone acknowledging the Grand Wagoneer. Hopefully it's the start of more things to come.
