Jeep Grand Wagoneer Will be Shown to Dealerships Later This Year

Posted on June 9, 2015 by baysideadmin

Fiat-Chrysler is planning a treat for their upcoming Las Vegas showcase event. They will be finally giving a peek at the new 2018 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This will be the first time the new Jeep is shown off to the public, or the reps for dealerships that attend that is.

The Grand Wagoneer is being brought back to life on the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee platform. It will be part of Jeep’s plan to mount a proper competitor to the Range Rover with a high-end SUV. The new Grand Wagoneer is planned as a three-row off-roader.

The news that the Grand Wagoneer was being revived was announced last year at a presentation to investors. The Grand Wagoneer has not been around since the 90’s and for many, this news was very exciting. The old Jeep was most notable for its wood paneling side and there is no word yet on if the new model will carry a similar look to it or not.

This is certainly exciting news for dealers to send out someone to take a look at what Jeep is planning for the future. No word on when the rest of the public will be made privy to seeing what it looks like. All we can do is hope that it is soon.

Could a Jeep Grand Cherokee Pickup Happen?

Posted on May 7, 2015 by baysideadmin

A few years ago, Jeep President Mike Manley mentioned that Jeep was looking into making a Jeep brand pickup. Seeing as how it hasn’t surfaced until this point, it leaves one to wonder if this was an idea that was scrapped or if Jeep has been working on it all this time. In a moment of speculation, Carscoops decided to pick up this point again and ask the question, why can’t Jeep make the Grand Cherokee a pickup?

The article features a clever rendering of what a Jeep pickup could look like. Taking a look at it, it does leave one wondering why Jeep hasn’t attempted something in the years since Manley mentioned it. As the writer states, a rendering is one thing, but it does show how perfect a Grand Cherokee is for this experiment.

“How hard would it be for Jeep, really, to modify the rear end of the current model?”

They go on to ponder if the reason nothing has been tried yet is because of the work Jeep is doing on the all-new Wrangler. The pickup market is hot right now, but could Chrysler be afraid of cooling down the progress of the Ram trucks with a Jeep? It may just be waiting for the right time, or it could’ve just been a wonderful dream on Manley’s part.

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee: The Best SUV?

Posted on December 15, 2014 by baysideadmin

Do you think the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the best SUV? John Mar Lumbayan of RealtyToday seems to think so. His look at the Grand Cherokee is glowing with praise and he sure makes a valid argument for why if you didn’t think it was the best SUV, then maybe you should reconsider.

The Grand Cherokee is already highly regarded as one of the finer SUV’s on the market. With the additions of the new technology and better gas mileage, it gets even better.

One of the more controversial points is Jeep’s move away from a traditional look for their new Jeeps. The Grand Cherokee takes its visual cues from the new Jeep Cherokee. While it is certainly different, that doesn’t make it any less gorgeous. The new look is sleek and defined and provides better aerodynamics for the Grand Cherokee.

The Grand Cherokee also has a V8 HEMI engine. With the addition of an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Grand Cherokee has more power along with better fuel economy.

Still not convinced? He ends the piece with, “It can drive like a car and truck but excels both in paved surfaces. There is nothing like it in the world today. The Grand Cherokee shines from the rest of the mainstream and swank brands.”

Have you changed your mind on if the 2015 Grand Cherokee is the best SUV?
