According to Fiat Chrysler executives said, prices for the Wagoneer are expected to start at about $60,00 while the more luxurious Grand Wagoneer will top $100,000 (with options).

“Wagoneer will expand to become a portfolio of vehicles that will redefine American premium while delivering a unique customer experience.”
Outside, either side of the 7-slot grille has twin bi-functional LED projector headlamps that are cradled by genuine teakwood. A full length glass roof also allows passengers to have incredible views on the surroundings.
Inside, it has four front-row passenger screens, including a 12.1-inch gauge cluster; a 12.1-inch center touchscreen that sits above a 10.3-inch touchscreen; and a first-ever 10.25-inch passenger touchscreen in an SUV.
Second-row passengers are not left out as they will also have their own 10.3-inch touchscreen on the center console as well as a pair of 10.1-inch touchscreens.
Other features includes a powerful McIntosh stereo that features 23 speakers, Apple CarPlay, android Auto, Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless charging. Wood is included on the doors, dash and center control panel.
