Upcoming adjustments for the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, set to roll out in a mid-cycle revamp
The iconic Jeep Grand Wagoneer is gearing up for a significant mid-cycle refresh in 2026, according to recent reports. The update will bring a redesigned front fascia, slimmer LED headlights, and a new seven-slot grille inspired by Jeep’s EV models.
In addition to the styling changes, the Grand Wagoneer is expected to receive advanced tech upgrades. This includes a more sophisticated Uconnect infotainment system and enhanced driver-assist features, possibly integrated with Stellantis’ STLA Brain platform.
One of the most anticipated updates is the introduction of electrified powertrain options. The Grand Wagoneer will offer a 4xe plug-in hybrid and potentially a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) variant, delivering over 600 horsepower. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six "Hurricane" gasoline engine will remain, available in 420 hp and 540 hp versions.
The electrified variants are expected to offer a competitive electric range, possibly between 250-300 miles, and modern EV features like regenerative braking and fast charging.
Sales Comparison in Quebec
Regarding sales comparison in Quebec between the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Cadillac Escalade, and Lincoln Navigator, specific recent sales data for Quebec was not found. However, these three luxury full-size SUVs typically compete closely in North American luxury SUV markets, with the Cadillac Escalade often being the category leader in sales historically due to strong brand presence. The Lincoln Navigator and Jeep Grand Wagoneer target similar upscale segments with substantial luxury, technology, and size, but the Wagoneer is newer in this category. Local Quebec sales can be influenced by brand loyalty, dealership network, and marketing, but without explicit regional data, a definitive sales ranking in Quebec cannot be cited.
The 2026 Grand Wagoneer Rollout
The 2026 Grand Wagoneer will be unveiled as part of a four-model rollout. The 2024 Grand Wagoneer, already in the market, features a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre Hurricane inline-six engine producing 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. Power for the 2024 Grand Wagoneer is sent through an eight-speed automatic transmission to a standard 4×4 system.
The Wagoneer, the slightly less-equipped sibling to the Grand Wagoneer, did not have any comments regarding potential updates. In the first half of 2025, Stellantis sold 26 combined units of the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in Quebec, down from 69 in the same period last year.
Conclusion
The 2026 Grand Wagoneer's mid-cycle refresh is not expected to hurt its luxury SUV appeal. With its electrified powertrains, advanced tech upgrades, and redesigned exterior, the Grand Wagoneer is set to remain a formidable competitor in the luxury SUV market.
