Last month, Jeep announced that the company would be reintroducing its once-iconic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer nameplates. First introduced all the way back in the 1963 model year, it was discontinued three decades ago in 1991 and replaced by the smaller Grand Cherokee. We’re absolutely stoked for the return of the premium full-size traditional SUV and cannot wait to see it in all its glory. Until its official release date – which is sometime during the second half of 2021 – we’ll have to make do with some early information on specs & features.

“We are ready to start a new exciting adventure with a model that wrote some of the most iconic pages in the history of the American automobile. Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are born from the Jeep brand, but they have a flair of their own, building on a rich heritage of craftsmanship and refinement, while offering new levels of sophistication, comfort and legendary 4×4 capability, as well as a new level of customer service.”– Christian Meunier, Chief Executive Officer, Jeep Brand
