Rebirth of a premium American icon: Wagoneer returns as Jeep’s luxury extension

 

All-new 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer: A Premium American Icon Is Reborn. Built in Warren, Michigan, the 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are scheduled to arrive in dealerships in the second half of 2021.

Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are born from the Jeep brand, but they have a flair of their own.

The all-new 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer mark the rebirth of a premium American car icon, with legendary
capability courtesy of three available 4×4 systems. The new luxury cars offer exceptional driving dynamics, powerful
performance, including best-in-class towing capability of up to 10,000 lbs., advanced technology, safety and a new
level of comfort for up to eight passengers.

The Wagoneer car model wrote some of the most iconic pages in the history of the American automobile.

The Grand Wagoneer car debuted in 1984 and marked the beginning of the luxury SUV, giving buyers an unheard of combination of standard features, such as leather upholstery, air conditioning, AM/FM/CB stereo radios, added sound insulation and wood-grain exterior trim. Considered “the gold standard of the SUV market,” Grand Wagoneer also featured a 360 c.i.d. V-8 with increased horsepower and torque and the segment’s highest towing rating.

As a premium extension of the Jeep brand, Wagoneer launches with a portfolio of vehicles that includes two models: the all-new 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. While the Jeep brand broadly covers the North American mainstream SUV market from the compact to full-size segments, Wagoneer will significantly expand into the large SUV segment while Grand Wagoneer competes in the premium segment.

2022 Grand Wagoneer will compete in the premium, large SUV segment and take American premium to an entirely new level. Every seat in the Grand Wagoneer is a first-class experience. Creating a modern interpretation of the American dream, executed with an overtone of artisanal adventure, celebrates what Grand Wagoneer is all about.
Grand Wagoneer is for those with a sense of adventure and for celebrating the American dream that is discovering
idyllic parts of the country in comfort.

To build the highest level of confidence in both the product and the vehicle purchase process, the brand is making
10 promises to every Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer owner. The epitome of American artisanship, the 2022 Wagoneer is available in Series I (late availability), Series II and Series III. Grand Wagoneer offers Series I, Series II, Series III and Obsidian.

Inspired by the original SUV, the 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are a modern interpretation of American success that creates a new timeless, iconic design. The legendary seven-slot grille hints at family ties to the Jeep brand and, on Grand Wagoneer models, features paint-over-chrome laser-etched grille rings, similar to a knurled
finish seen on fine watches. Grand Wagoneer Series III models feature raised aluminum badging with two-piece
copperchino-accented letters that add to the refinement and highlight the attention to detail.

Distinct exterior features differentiate the two models. Wagoneer models feature LED headlamps, fog lamps,
accent badging and a standard side step. Grand Wagoneer models feature a two-tone black accent roof, distinctive
hood, front end, grille, unique premium LED lighting, fender flares and power retractable side steps as standard
equipment. Front tow hooks are incorporated into both models’ front end when equipped with the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package.

From the rear, LED taillamps stretch from the rear quarter panel to the standard hands-free power liftgate, achieving an upscale appearance. Unique “Series” badging on the liftgate showcases in a subtle way how a particular vehicle is configured.

While the original Grand Wagoneer famously featured an extensive use of wood on its exterior, the 2022 Grand Wagoneer features genuine handcrafted Satin American Walnut wood in abundance on the interior. Sculpted Satin American Walnut wood was chosen both for its elegance and durability. Once seen primarily on yachts and in the most extravagant estates, sculpted Satin American Walnut wood is now a premium material. This is one of the many
examples of how the Wagoneer design team was able to create a new chapter of the original Grand Wagoneer story in a modern way.

The start button is surrounded by a knurl-patterned bezel and, on Grand Wagoneer models, is wrapped in leather
with a French accent stitch, presenting itself atop the carved wood or metal trim. An available class-exclusive
touchpad-controlled safe allows for secure storage underneath the split front armrest. A storage bin is standard and a cooled storage bin is also available.

Seating for up to eight passengers is available on all models and features a spacious third row – a first for the
nameplate. Front- and second-row captain’s chairs – another first-time offering – are available on Wagoneer and
standard on Grand Wagoneer.

The most spacious and luxurious Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer interior ever offers best-in-class overall passenger volume, total volume (passengers and cargo behind the third row), unsurpassed second- and best-in- class third-row headroom and legroom and the most cargo volume behind the third row. Getting to the third row is made easier by the second-row seat’s power release Tip n’ Slide function, which creates more space for passengers to get to their seat. Configuring the third row for passengers or cargo is easy, as the seat can both recline and fold flat.

The most technologically advanced Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer ever feature next-generation innovations,
including the new advanced Uconnect 5 system, digital rearview mirror, exclusive Rear Seat Monitoring Camera,
head-up display, frameless digital cluster and a premium McIntosh audio system for a vehicle.

Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer offer more than 120 standard safety features across the lineup, including:
Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go,
Active Lane Management, Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, Rear park assist sensors with stop,
Switch-activated electric park brake.

New active/electronic-tuned mass module absorbs more vibration and movement when at idle. This feature offers
enhanced levels of comfort, versatility and performance. An enhanced active noise cancellation system, along with
door seals and acoustic glass round out the enhancements that bring NVH and wind noise down to a whisper.

Refined and proven V-8 power offers premium performance and best-in-class towing

The 2022 Wagoneer carries the proven 5.7-liter V-8 engine fitted with the next-generation 48-volt eTorque hybrid as
standard equipment. The 2022 Grand Wagoneer is powered by the potent and smooth 6.4-liter V-8 engine. Both engines deliver performance, drivability and, when equipped properly, best-in-class towing capabilities of up to
10,000 lbs.

6.4-liter V-8 engine The 6.4-liter V-8 engine delivers 471 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. of torque. It is engineered to provide a broad torque band to deliver the optimal blend of power and comfort regardless of the load and terrain.

Engineered to deliver class-leading V-8 performance and best-in-class towing capability, the 6.4-liter engine
receives some unique adjustments to set new benchmarks for both power and performance. These include a unique
exhaust manifold, intake manifold and moving the air box to the right side of the engine bay.

The 2022 Grand Wagoneer benefits from the V-8 engine’s plentiful low-end torque, which delivers in demanding
conditions such as towing a boat, camper or horse trailer.

The 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are built at the Warren (Michigan) Truck Assembly Plant on the same line as the Ram 1500 Classic. In 2017, the company committed to retooling Warren Truck to build the all-new Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer and their electrified offerings. Two years later, the company announced that the plant investment would nearly double to $1.5 billion in order to also continue production of the Ram 1500 Classic. With the addition of the new products, it is expected that 1,400 new jobs will be added.
