We have known that a new Grand Wagoneer is coming since early 2019, however, coronavirus slows down the production of the red just as it slows down or cancels everything else. As a result, we rely on spy-shots and rumors for most of our information. But now, finally, Jeep has given us a little look at the car via a text-less post on Twitter. It’s not much, but it’s something.
The images were posted this morning and they show part of the Grand Wagoneer’s badge – the letters “EER” and an American flag – and the car’s leather / packaged start / stop button.
Last week, Jeep also plagued the SUV with another tweet, but that one had been left alone, no pictures.
These two images add to the seemingly small amount of information we already have about the upcoming SUV. It is suspected that it is on the Ram 1500 platform, it will have three rows, and V8 power – it is a Chrysler product, let’s be real – is likely. It is also likely that the Grand Wagoneer will also have a more environmentally friendly, plug-in hybrid option.
And because these tweeted images give us only the last three letters of the truck’s name – not the first three – we do not know when we look at a regular Wagoneer or a Grand Wagoneer – although judging by the hint of last week it’s probably the last one. It is reasonable to speculate that this is the Grand version because of its gold declining badging and leather-wrapped start button, but we do not know. We also do not know if wood paneling is available on this truck as on the original Wagoneer. It is certainly possible, but whether it will look like a modern car right now is absolutely doubtful. I’m sure people will buy it every way.
