Jeep is entering a new phase in its luxury SUV strategy, as the American automaker prepares to officially discontinue the Wagoneer by the end of 2025. The decision follows a detailed review of sales performance and customer behavior, leading the brand to merge the Wagoneer lineup into the Grand Wagoneer family, introducing a wider range of trims and price options.

A Complete Lineup Restructure


According to U.S. reports, Jeep’s move to discontinue the Wagoneer stems from significant overlap between the two models. Many customers viewed the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer as essentially the same vehicle, with most buyers willing to pay extra for the higher end Grand Wagoneer. This market behavior prompted Jeep to reevaluate its pricing and product positioning strategy.

Currently, the standard Wagoneer starts at around 59,945 USD (approximately 225,000 SAR) for the short wheelbase model, while the extended version costs 62,945 USD. The Grand Wagoneer, meanwhile, begins at 84,945 USD (around 319,000 SAR), placing the two SUVs in similar pricing brackets and making differentiation increasingly difficult.


To address this, Jeep plans to expand the Grand Wagoneer lineup to include a broader range of trims and pricing tiers that effectively replace the Wagoneer’s position in the market, giving customers more variety without maintaining two separate nameplates.

New Trims Aligned with Jeep’s Identity


Official records in the United States reveal that Jeep is working to simplify its trim lineup, making it more consistent with the rest of the brand’s models. Instead of the traditional Series I, II, and III designations, the company will introduce clearer names such as Limited and Summit, already familiar from models like the Grand Cherokee.

This move aims to unify Jeep’s identity and make it easier for customers to understand the differences between versions, reinforcing the Grand Wagoneer’s image as a luxury SUV that perfectly balances refinement and modern technology.

Refreshed Design and Advanced Features for 2026


The 2026 Grand Wagoneer is set to debut with a refined exterior that reflects Jeep’s new design direction, focusing on elegance, sophistication, and cutting edge technology.

Key upgrades include:

  • New LED headlights for a sharper and more modern appearance.

  • A redesigned front bumper that enhances the SUV’s strong presence.

  • A full width rear light bar that adds a distinctive, contemporary touch.

Under the hood, the Grand Wagoneer will continue with the 3.0 liter twin turbo inline six Hurricane engine, known for its blend of power and efficiency. Jeep is also reportedly considering the return of the Hemi V8 in select trims, although this has yet to be officially confirmed.


In a major step toward sustainability, Jeep plans to launch a plug in hybrid (4xe) version, featuring a powertrain that combines:

  • A 3.6 liter V6 engine.

  • Two electric motors.

  • A 92 kWh battery pack.

This setup delivers a total output of 663 horsepower and 833 Nm of torque, positioning it among the most powerful luxury SUVs Jeep has ever produced.

A New Chapter for Jeep in the Luxury Market


By discontinuing the Wagoneer and expanding the Grand Wagoneer lineup, Jeep demonstrates a clear focus on quality and distinction rather than duplication. With new trims, advanced hybrid technology, and a renewed luxury oriented strategy, the American brand is gearing up to rival the likes of Cadillac, Lincoln, and BMW, all while preserving the adventurous spirit that has long defined Jeep.
