'Despite all of the challenges facing our industry, Jeep recorded double-digit sales increases for nearly all of its nameplates,' said David Buckingham, President and CEO, FCA Canada. '2021 is a big year for Jeep as we add new models like the all-new Grand Cherokee. It is a transformational year as well, as the brand enters a new premium space with the extension of the Wagoneer brand and lays the groundwork for more electrification following the successful implementation of Jeep Wrangler 4xe.'

It debuts July 14 at the 2021 Chicago Auto Show, alongside the new 2022 Jeep Compass.

Wagoneer will follow in the second half of 2021. A premium extension of the Jeep brand, it is designed and engineered to compete in the heart of the large SUV segment, appealing to the classic, ever-growing North American family and the couple that has it all. The ability to seat up to eight passengers and carry everything that comes with them is what the Wagoneer experience is all about.
