Presentation

In January 2011, Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat S.p.A., announced at his press conference at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, that the name “Grand Wagoneer” would be relaunched with a new SUV, in which seven places which should be studied in 2013.[2] On 2 September 2013, Chrysler announced that they would delay production until 2015 to allow the Dodge Durango to find an audience, but at the same time would use the Grand Wagoneer concept as a basis for a full-size luxury SUV that would compete against the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, whose redesigns went on sale in 2014.[3]

On September 3, 2020,[4] Jeep presented the Jeep Grand Wagoneer concept, which foreshadows the next Grand Wagoneer marketed in 2021.[5] The SUV is distinguished by a massive silhouette with oblong headlights and a multi-hole grille,[6] as well as narrow lamps reminiscent of the Grand Commander model offered in China. A characteristic feature is the lack of manufacturer's markings on the body and in the passenger compartment in favor of emblems with the model name.[7]

Production of the all-new 2022 Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer will commence in the Spring of 2021 at Stellantis' new assembly plant that is being built on the site of the previous Chrysler Mack Avenue Engine Complex.[8]
