Under the admiration of energy conservation and emission reduction and environmentalism, new energy and small energy and small displacement models have gradually become the mainstream culture of current vehicles. However, even in this context, Americans who have always been "vigorously miracles" are unwilling to be willing.
Among them, the American JEEP car brand, which has always been known for its hardcore and large-displacement off-road vehicles, has launched two new cars, Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L. The direct English translation is called Wagni L and Grand Vagani L. Of course, it is not difficult to know from the names of the Chinese that they are the extended versions of the existing Jeep Wagoneer L (Wagani) / Grand Wagoneer L (Grand Waghini) models.
From the outside, the Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L are not much different from the standard wheelbase models. The front face still adopts the most classic seven-hole forward grille of the upper jeep family, with a narrow and sharp headlight group, which is very recognizable. At the same time, a large number of chrome decorations are also used, which is domineering and fashionable.
As an extended version of the model, Gu Mingsi thought that there were obvious changes in the length and wheelbase of the body. As can be seen from the picture, the two new cars have been extended after the C-pillar is hit, and with large-size dense-striped spoke chrome wheels, the visual sense of "Big Mac" has suddenly emerged.
Specific data changes, Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L have been lengthened by 178mm in wheelbase, and the length of the car has increased by 305mm, while the size of the Grand Wagoneer itself has been extended to 5758mm, which is much larger than the Cadillac Creed Extended Version (5697mm).
Of course, thanks to the increase in wheelbase and length, it is also natural to bring more considerable cabin space. The increased length advantage is reflected behind the third row of seats, which adds 0.45 cubic meters of storage space to 1.3 cubic meters overall.
When the seats in the second and third rows are lowered, a total of about 3.7 cubic meters of storage space can be obtained. Overall, they both have better loading capacity than existing models or even the Careyd and Navigator.
Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L continue the interior design of existing standard wheelbase models, with a full LCD instrument cluster, an embedded central control large screen, and optional 10-inch HUD head-up display and digital rearview mirrors.
In contrast, the Grand Wagoneer L will also add two color displays at the bottom of the center console and in front of the co-pilot, which is more luxurious and technological.
It is worth mentioning that Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L will also provide two seat layouts with seven and eight seats, the difference is that the seven-seat version has a luxurious armrest designed in the middle of the second row, while the eight-seat version emphasizes practicality.
Both the Wagoneer L and the Grand Wagoneer L are powered by the all-new 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine known as the Hurricane series, with a maximum power of 313 kW and a torque of 635 N·m; The latter has a maximum power of 380 kW and a torque of 678 N·m, all matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
In addition, the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L are fully equipped with an all-wheel drive system as standard and are available in three options. The Quadra Trac I version with a one-speed transfer case, the Quadra Trac II version with a two-speed transfer case, and the Quadra Drive II version with an electronic limited-slip differential are the ones. The choice of multi-dimensional four-wheel drive system has always been the advantage of Jeep models.
Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L are expected to be officially listed in overseas markets in the second half of this year, as to whether the domestic market can be introduced in the future? The professor's answer is that the probabilities are slim.
You know, wagoneer series models are now positioned by Jepp as a new flagship model, and in the future is expected to be separated into high-end independent sub-brands, and have more high-end positioning and attributes, then the price is certainly not cheap, probably guess the starting price to 1.5 million, if according to this starting price, increase the displacement and then enter the domestic market through parallel imports, it is destined to be "taxed".
Even if the country is not bad for rich people, but can use the landing close to 2 million to buy a "Big Mac" or have to consider, after all, it is not like Mercedes-Benz Big G such models have more comprehensive universal attributes. Moreover, due to such a body size, driving on domestic roads will also be extremely uncomfortable, and it is bluntly said that it is not in line with the "national conditions" and the actual needs of the car.
In addition, there are lessons from the past. At present, the Grand Cherokee under the Jeep brand is also sold in the domestic market in the form of parallel imports, and a preferential margin of nearly 100,000 yuan is also released in the terminal market, but the highest sales volume in a single month is only a few hundred units. Then, jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L, which have a high price, do not need to enter the domestic market.
In today's increasingly small and small row models, this competitive American "Big Mac" and our mistakes are really some regrets.
However, while feeling a pity, we can still look forward to it, after all, it is not ruled out that Jeep will introduce a Jeep Wagoneer standard wheelbase model with a relatively cheap price, body size and power specifications that are more in line with the domestic market.
