The iconic American SUV manufacturer, Jeep has confirmed that it will launch the new-generation of the yesteryear blockbusters – Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

Sergio Marchionne, Chief Executive Officer of FCA N.V, said, “The conversion of our industrial footprint completes this stage of our transformation as we respond to the shift in consumer tastes to trucks and SUVs, and as we continue to reinforce the U.S. as a global manufacturing hub for those vehicles at the heart of the SUV and truck market.”
“These moves, which have been under discussion with Dennis Williams and the rest of the UAW leadership for some time, expand our capacity in these key segments, enabling us to meet growing demand here in the U.S., but more importantly to increase exports of our mid-size and larger vehicles to international markets”, he added further.
