Jeep to resurrect the Grand Wagoneer SUV series

Apparently, Jeep is getting a successor of the legendary Grand Wagoneer SUV (see video) ready for premiere. A GW-themed test mule based on the RAM 1500 chassis has recently been spotted in the Death Valley, California.

The Wagoneer will assume the topmost position in the model lineup and compete with the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Lincoln Navigator. In its most expensive trim versions, it will take on the BMW X7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLS. The car will arrive based on the improved RAM 1500 chassis and sport three rows of seats, as well as air suspension at the rear end.

It is being reported that the series will be powered by mild-hybrid powertrains based on six- and eight-cylinder engines assisted by 48V motors. A couple turbocharged I6s may also be available, although this is by no means official yet.

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer will launch in the spring of 2020.
