What will the difference between the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer variant actually be? Since they both share the same DNA as the RAM 1500, what visible difference could the two models have? It’s actually expected to be a matter of wheel base lengths. No doubt there’ll be some extra off-roading add-ons and packages to make the new Wagoneers even more off-road capable. These engines will come equipped with a ZF eight speed automatic transmission, with rear-wheel drive and full four-wheel drive options as standard. ![]() We don’t think the diesel package will be offered, but the other two engine configurations, with the accompanying 48-volt eTorque hybrid system, seem likely. The RAM 1500 currently comes with three engine configurations: a 3.6 liter V6 with an eTorque hybrid system, a larger 5.6 liter Hemispherical V8 with eTorque hybrid power, and lastly, the 3.0 liter V6 diesel option. And it looks like that’s the truth of it. As far back as 2016, the then Jeep boss Mike Manley-who’s now Fiat Chrysler Automobile’s CEO-said that a future Grand Wagoneer would be offered with a plug-in hybrid powertrain option. This is pretty exciting, because RAM currently offers a couple of hybrid options, and it seems like the new Jeep models will get the same treatment. If the 2021 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are using the RAM 1500’s chassis, then it’s very likely that the models will be using the same powertrain options. The Patriot is old news, but we’re looking to the future to see what the 2021 Jeep line-up will include. It’s not an up to date model, and sales weren’t expected to be noteworthy at all. The Patriot was the biggest loser in the Jeep line-up, but it was expected. 27 were sold in 2019, which is a total of 96% less than 2018’s 621. Lastly, there’s the Patriot, which had abysmal sales. It wasn’t all bad news though, since the new Gladiator managed to clock up impressive sales for its debut year, with 40,047 units sold. It’s a similar story for the Renegade, which also saw a sales drop of 21% in 2019. The Compass is the next most popular model, but again, we saw a large drop in sales, this time to the tune of 16%. The Cherokee is the third most popular, but it did have a sales drop of 20%. The next most popular model is the Grand Cherokee, which enjoyed an 8% sales increase in 2019, with 242,969 models sold. But what Jeep vehicles are the most popular? The most popular Jeep model is still the Wrangler, which saw 228,032 sales in 2019-which is still a 5% drop from 2018. RAM and Jeep are very-much keeping the FCA brand afloat. It would be worse for FCA if Jeep wasn’t continually posting impressive sales. The drop might not be significant, but negative sales are negative sales. In 2019, FCA managed to sell a total of 2,203,663 vehicles in the United States. Unfortunately, the entire FCA company isn’t doing as well as it could be at the moment. Compared with fellow FCA brands like RAM, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo, Jeep is doing ridiculously well. Today, Jeep is the most successful brand under the FCA umbrella. Each parent company has brought varying levels of success and fortune to the Jeep brand, but it’s the partnership with Fiat-Chrysler that has really helped bring Jeep into the mainstream. Since it first started life with Willys-Overland in 1943 as a stalwart military vehicle, Jeep has been owned by Kaiser-Jeep, the American Motors Corporation, Chrysler, and now Fiat-Chrysler. ![]() Over the years, Jeep has changed ownership numerous times. ![]() The Jeep brand is easily the strongest performing marque in the Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles’ stable.
