Jeep's new $100,000 Grand Wagoneer takes on Mercedes and BMW
CNN
Jeep is entering the market for high-end large luxury SUVs with the unveiling of its new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models Thursday.
These new SUVs, which are equipped with three rows of seats and plenty of leather and wood trim, will come in a range of styles and with prices ranging from $68,000 for the Wagoneer to more than $100,000 for the most expensive and opulent version of the Grand Wagoneer. After being out of production for nearly 30 years, these new models signal a much-anticipated return for the Wagoneer brand. They put Jeep, a brand built on its relationship to the famed World War II off-road vehicle, in direct competition with the likes of Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW. All of those recognized luxury brands make full-size SUVs in roughly the same price range, although the lowest-priced Wagoneer models will be a little more affordable.More Related News
