Seven-seat Jeep Wagoneer leaked

The first images of what appear to be Jeep's all-new Grand Wagoneer seven-seat flagship and next-generation Wrangler and have hit the internet overnight, courtesy of an insider at a recent Jeep dealer meeting in the US.

Supplied by KGP Photography and first published by US website Autoblog.com, the leaked images show the front and rear lighting signatures of five Jeep models.

From left, they appear to be Jeep's existing entry-level SUV, the Renegade, the new 2018 Wrangler (perhaps in ute form for the first time), the mid-size Cherokee, the current Grand Cherokee and the all-new seven-seat SUV flagship, which could resurrect Jeep's dormant Grand Wagoneer name.

Not pictured is Jeep's redesigned Compass, which debuted in Latin America spec in Brazil last month, and will make its global-spec debut at the Los Angeles show next month.

While the design of next year's new JL Wrangler is unsurprisingly evolutionary rather than revolutionary, the much larger Grand Wagoneer – if that's what Jeep calls it – brings an all-new LED lighting design featuring seven LED elements in each headlight.

Completing the more aggressive look is a pair of lower LED-powered fog lights, above what could be cameras of sensors providing at least some level of autonomous driving capability, while the horizontal tail-lights each also contain seven LEDs and are echoed by a pair of broad outboard exhaust outlets.

A wider seven-slot chromed grille further distinguishes the front-end of a vehicle that is considerably wider and taller than the Grand Cherokee beside it, despite the fact the new Jeep range-topper is expected to be based on an extended version of the next-generation Grand Cherokee.

Jeep is yet to confirm any official details about the reborn Grand Wagoneer, which is expected to feature three rows of seats and a luxurious, leather-trimmed interior when it is release in the US for the 2019 model year (ie: by the end of 2018).

However, Jeep's global brand boss Mike Manley has previously said it will compete with Ranger Rover in terms of both luxury and price, telling journalists at last month's Paris motor show that premium versions could approach $US140,000 ($A182K-plus).

While the 'Grand Wagoneer' is unlikely to emerge for at least another 12 months, Jeep's new aluminium-bodied Wrangler has been confirmed for production from next year -- in both two-door, four-door and, for the first time, pick-up guises – and could debut at the Detroit show in January.
