Jeep Drops MORE Teaser Images for New 2022 Grand Wagoneer!

 

Badges, interior bits, and more build hype for the model's return on September 3.

Jeep has been hard at work on something Grand. A recent, teasing social post from the brand made that clear, with a photo of the Grand Canyon overlaid with a definition of the word "grand" ("magnificent and striking in appearance, size, or style") and the copy "coming soon." Since that initial shot across our bow, we now know which vehicle is on its way and that "soon" means September 3. On that date, we'll finally see the all-new 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer SUV fully revealed. (The initial teaser could also have been referring to a new Grand Cherokee, a vehicle slated to get a redesign very soon.) It's shaping up to be something special if the subsequent images are anything to go by, and you can head here for everything we know so far about the new 2022 Grand Wagoneer.

One image shows the "WAG—" portion of a hood badge perched above what appears to be a luxed-up, seven-rectangle spin on the so-called "muscle grille" sported by some full-size Jeep SUVs and trucks from 1981 through '85. Another photo depicts a liftgate or body-side badge that reads "-ONEER" and which incorporates an American flag.

Yet another image depicts an engine start-stop button housed in a binnacle on the dashboard, and we note what appears to be an adjacent shelf, some handsome-looking wood trim, a murky view of the center console, and a silver knob that may control volume for the infotainment system. A slightly better look at the console in a fourth shot shows a knurled silver knob that could be used to control the infotainment, select gears, or choose a terrain mode from the expected on- and off-road chassis programs.

We'll find out all there is to know about this highly anticipated new Jeep on September 3, including how closely it hews to the original Grand Wagoneer's boxy, rugged style and whether fans of the old truck view the '22 as a poser or worthy successor. However that shakes out, there's no doubt the new Grand Wagoneer SUV is a big—or even Grand—deal for the brand, giving it a competitor to big-buck SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, Range Rover, and Mercedes-Benz GLS.
