Exact timing and pricing has not been announced, but Jeep refers to it as a “premium” product in keeping with the Wagoneer sub-brand’s positioning. Jeep held a naming contest for the production vehicle that received more than 80,000 entries and said the results led it to keep the concept’s Wagoneer S name.
