New 2021 Jeep Grand Wagoneer launched
This is the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It’s a reimagined version of the company’s original, flagship SUV from 1962, which will go on sale in the us early next year. There’s no word yet on whether the SUV will be sold in the UK but, when it reaches the American market, it will act as a premium rival for the BMW X7, Audi Q8 and the range Rover.

Although technically a concept for now, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer’s styling is clearly influenced by the Grand Cherokee. It shares the same bluff front end and boxy panelling, along with a new pair of LED headlamps, a full-length panoramic glass roof, a subtle rear diffuser and a set of 24-inch multispoke alloy wheels.

As a nod to the original Grand Wagoneer, which featured wood panelling along its flanks, the headlights on this new model are cradled in genuine teak wood. The tie-down loops on the SUV’s roofing rails are also trimmed in teak, while the outer edge of the instrument panel features an inscription, which marks the launch date of the classic Wagoneer.
Inside, there’s seating for seven and a special two-spoke steering wheel, which Jeeps says pays tribute to the unit fitted to the original Wagoneer. Jeep has also built the SUV’s interior with sustainability in mind – the car’s dashboard features recycled glass, heat-treated lacewood and aluminium, while its headlining is made from man-made Dinamica suede.
