Jeep to revive Grand Wagoneer

Category: News Published Date Hits: 53

The seven-seater SUV is becoming a hot ticket once again for many carmakers and it seems that some who had abandoned the idea are looking at it once again with renewed interest. At Detroit, Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Chrysler Group LLC confirmed the development of a Grand Wagoneer for the Jeep line-up. “It’s time we gave the market an upper-scale Grand Wagoneer.” The return of the Wagoneer in 2013 would mark the resurrection of one of the most storied nameplates for the Jeep brand, and is expected to fill the void left by the seven-seat Commander, which was discontinued after the 2010 model year. This replacement model will share the platform found under the Grand Cherokee, but will compete more directly with the seven-seat configuration found in the 2011 Ford Explorer. The original Jeep Wagoneer ended production in 1991 after a 28 year run.
