Jeep announced plans for bigger versions of its upscale Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs, betting there’s still demand for super-sized vehicles at a time of soaring gas prices.
The iconic American brand, owned by Stellantis NV, on Wednesday unveiled the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L, each measuring a full foot longer than their standard-wheelbase siblings. The sport utility vehicles, which offer more cargo room and extra leg space, will be exhibited this week at the New York International Auto Show.
