Look at the Glass on That: Your Regularly Scheduled Jeep Grand Wagoneer Update Arrives
It’s a day of the week, which means it’s time for another installment in Jeep’s ongoing teaser campaign for its upcoming full-size SUVs. Thankfully, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, or at least the latter model, will see the light of day on September 3rd.
The images released by Jeep on Friday show additional glitter and acres of roof glass, but the vehicle itself might not be exactly what greets buyers next year.
Nothing strikes fear into hopeful hearts like the appearance of the word “concept,” but that’s apparently what the vehicle being teased is. As noted by Motor1, the Facebook Live caption for next week’s reveal cites a “Wagoneer Concept,” leading us to hope the unwrapped vehicle closely mirrors the production model. From what we’ve seen, the Wagoneer/Jeep Wagoneer needn’t be a piece of vaporware. Production stars in the second quarter of 2021; as such, the vehicle revealed on September 3rd will likely be more of a pre-production prototype than something fanciful and exaggerated.
Zoom in on that lengthy glass roof and you’ll see a map of Detroit laid over top of it. Alrighty. The middle second-row seatback also seems to be folded down for the convenience of outer-seat passengers, or it’s a complete console.
As for the second image, chrome-laden vents and brushed metal dash sides lends the interior an upscale, retro flair. It also works well with what we’ve seen of the vehicle/concept’s exceptionally bright grille.
You’ll also note an inscription of the vehicle’s outline, underscored by “Est. 1963” — the model’s birth date.
With six days to go before Jeep reveals the vehicle in full, we wager’s there still an opportunity for at least one additional teaser.

- CanadaCraig You can just imagine how quickly the tires are going to wear out on a 5,800 lbs AWD 2024 Dodge Charger.
- Luke42 I tried FSD for a month in December 2022 on my Model Y and wasn’t impressed.The building-blocks were amazing but sum of the all of those amazing parts was about as useful as Honda Sensing in terms of reducing the driver’s workload.I have a list of fixes I need to see in Autopilot before I blow another $200 renting FSD. But I will try it for free for a month.I would love it if FSD v12 lived up to the hype and my mind were changed. But I have no reason to believe I might be wrong at this point, based on the reviews I’ve read so far. [shrug]. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about it once I get to test it.
- FormerFF We bought three new and one used car last year, so we won't be visiting any showrooms this year unless a meteor hits one of them. Sorry to hear that Mini has terminated the manual transmission, a Mini could be a fun car to drive with a stick.It appears that 2025 is going to see a significant decrease in the number of models that can be had with a stick. The used car we bought is a Mk 7 GTI with a six speed manual, and my younger daughter and I are enjoying it quite a lot. We'll be hanging on to it for many years.
- Oberkanone Where is the value here? Magna is assembling the vehicles. The IP is not novel. Just buy the IP at bankruptcy stage for next to nothing.

Is that a Ford Expedition clone which also looks just like a Suburban/Tahoe? Disappointing so far.
I think its fairly obvious that the Grand Wagoneer is going to be positioned well above the Tahoe/Denali, Expedition crowd. Those vehicles already feel very cheap inside, with hard plastics and poor build quality that will immediately feel like a 10 year old, ex rental car when the JGW is released. I know that we have only seen teaser photos, but look at the materials quality already. Its going to be fantastic. Next, onto the Grand Cherokee!
