In recent years we’ve come to wonder just what Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ (FCA) Jeep division has been waiting for. Where is its luxury sport-utility vehicle? Where is its “baller” seven seater? We’ve even asked if the Wagoneer should make a comeback.

 

Turns out we were onto something. The Wagoneer is back, officially. Making an appearance after 2019 will be super luxurious Jeeps. 

 

As of now, however, details are quite slim. 

 

According to Jeep’s head honcho, Mike Manley, both nameplates will be luxury vehicles but aside from that we don’t know if that means it will be a five seater, seven seater, for tarmac use only or will be off-road capable. 

 

Given the company’s history, product portfolio and market desires, we’re thinking that Jeep will build an off-road, luxury SUV that fits seven and can give the likes of the Audi Q7, Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GLS and upcoming BMW X7 a run for their money. 

 

 

"The Wagoneer name represents, historically, the pinnacle of premium for the Jeep world," he said. "But in the same way as you may have an Overland and a Summit, you have different trim levels. So you could imagine the use of Wagoneer to denote a really premium vehicle, and Grand Wagoneer takes it to the very next level. If you were to use that as your naming strategy, that's exactly how I would use the trims."
