Pictures have surfaced of Jeep’s highly-anticipated mega-SUV, with blurry teaser images of the Jeep Grand Cherokee-dwarfing car being snapped at a recent Jeep dealer conference in the USA.

The full image shows what appears to be Jeep’s future lineup, with the upper-large SUV – which is expected to wear the Grand Wagoneer name – capping off a five-car lineup that includes the Jeep Renegade, the all-new JL Wrangler, the Cherokee mid-sizer and the Grand Cherokee.

The recently-revealed Compass is conspicuously absent.

Only the nose and tail of each car is shown, and shadows obscure some details. However, if the images are all to scale – and they appear to be – then the Grand Wagoneer is going to be absolutely gigantic.

In Australia its most obvious rivals would be the 200-series Toyota LandCruiser and Y62 Nissan Patrol. However musings from Fiat-Chrysler’s global executives indicate that Jeep may position the Grand Wagoneer as a more upmarket proposition.

Rather than Toyota and Nissan, the big Jeep could instead battle the Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz GLS and Range Rover.

But where does that leave us? Appetite for hulking seven-seat offroaders is strengthening in the premium segment, with sales in the luxury Large SUV and Upper-Large SUV segments growing by 18.9 and 55.1 percent respectively this year.

With Manley on the record as saying a six-figure-plus pricetag as being realistic for the Grand Wagoneer, Jeep could be in a good position to tap into some of that local demand.

However, Jeep Australia declined to comment on the Grand Wagoneer when queried by Wheels, and with a right-hook version still yet to be confirmed there’s still no clarity on whether it will come to our shores.
