Jeep Grand Wagoneer 7 Seater - Still A Long Wait!

Dont hold your breath if you expect the 7 Seater Jeep wagon to arrive in Australia soon. Word is that the right hand drive versions will be at least 2013 before seen on Australian shores. The long awaited Commander replacement 7 seat Jeep will be based on the current Dodge Durango and will be called Grand Wagoneer reminiscent of the famous big Jeep wagons of the past.
Running WK Grand Cherokee engineering under the hood and with similar variants to the WK local dealers are eagerly awaiting a 7 seat option for the hugely popular Grand Cherokee.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is currently selling in record numbers world wide and customers are having to wait many months for delivery. The recently introduced Turbo Diesel variants are almost all sold out to year end but the new Pentastar V6 3.6L petrol engine is a little more readily available with US production increased to meet demand. The Pentastar 3.6L engine is a great performer with amazing economy for such a large vehicle. This is the variant that won 4x4 of the Year in Australia and is certainly a good option if you cant wait for a diesel and dont have a need for heavy towing.
