Hey guys, Matty P here. This year has been filled with automotive news, from redesigns, advancements, and new unveiling. As domestic brands switch primarily away from cars and towards SUVs and trucks. Like Fiat-Chrysler’s brands (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) only offering 3 car models out of 30 total models, General Motors brands (Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac) offering 7 different cars models out of their 38 total models and Ford Motor Company’s brands (Ford, Lincoln) offering only 2 car models out of 29 total models. As the US car market shrinks, the American SUV and truck market exploded with more on-road and off-road variants than you can dream of.
One of the most stylish vehicles to be unveiled was the 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, which is a returning nameplate from Jeep’s lineup from 1962 till 1991. This Jeep is placed as the largest, most luxurious model in Jeep’s lineup. This three-row SUV is placed to compete directly with the other big mainstream SUVs of America: the Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Ford Expedition. Though Jeep would like this vehicle to compete with the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, journalists alike say product quality, build quality, and amount of equipment from the concept doesn’t have the same level of craftsmanship or feel. Truly that can not be determined until the Grand Wagoneer actual production models.
The big beast of a vehicle does use the similar theory of General Motors and Ford with their body-on-frame vehicles; take the company’s light-duty truck frame and make it a full cabin hatch back. Utilizing the Ram 1500-based platform and three-row arrangement.
The Grand Wagoneer will also come in different wheelbase variants differentiating between Jeep’s Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Jeep is using the Wagoneer and grand Wagoneer as a sub brand under Jeep, like the Ford Bronco “family”.
