Model introduction

The Jeep Wagoneer is an iconic SUV produced by Jeep since 1962, known for its rugged design and comfort. Originally launched as a luxury sport utility vehicle, the Wagoneer has evolved over the decades to become a versatile model appreciated by families and off-road enthusiasts alike.

History

The Jeep Wagoneer was introduced in 1962 as the successor to the Willys Jeep Station Wagon, a model produced since 1946. Designed by a team led by industrial designer Brooks Stevens, the Wagoneer shared its chassis with the full-size Jeep Gladiator pickup. Initially available in a five-door version, it was also marketed as a three-door wagon and two-door panel truck, offering appreciated versatility. In 1966, the Super Wagoneer model was introduced, bringing features from higher-priced vehicles. From 1971 to 1991, the Wagoneer featured simulated woodgrain paneling on the exterior body sides, enhancing its distinctive image. In 1984, a new generation was launched, the Wagoneer XJ, based on the Cherokee's unibody chassis, offering increased efficiency. In 1993, a special edition of the Grand Wagoneer was produced, but the model was withdrawn from the market in 1994. In 2021, Jeep relaunched the Wagoneer as a luxury model, marking the return of an American icon. This new generation was unveiled in March 2021, with production starting in the first half of 2021 at the Warren, Michigan plant. (media.stellantis.com)
