Jeep's 2025 Wagoneer Lineup Adds Two Smart Choices for Buyers
According to numbers released by Stellantis earlier this month, the Jeep brand's U.S. sales for the first half of this year are only up a modest 2% over the same period in 2024. But while models like the Compass and the iconic Wrangler saw double-digit growth over the course of the first half of this year and the last quarter (Q2 2025), it isn't roses and bald eagles for all the SUVs that wear the seven-slot grille.
Stellantis's numbers indicate that both the Wagoneer and its posher brother, the Grand Wagoneer took a heck of a sales nosedive during the second quarter of this year. During Q2 2025, Jeep moved 8,216 Wagoneers and just 1,307 Grand Wagoneers, representing a 51% and 67% sales dip, respectively.
Sales data from other brands indicate that competing nameplates like the Ford Expedition and the Chevy Suburban are experiencing massive sales surges; however, the Jeep brand is determined to win some value-minded customers over to the seven-slotted machines with new limited-run special edition models.
Meet the Wagoneers

In a recent announcement, Jeep introduced two new value-minded limited-run models that are built for 'a defined customer in mind' in the form of the new Jeep Wagoneer Limited and the Wagoneer Super. The Wagoneer Limited is made for 'the value-conscious customer ready to step into a full-size SUV only the Jeep brand can create,' sweetening the deal with some cool design features, including body-color fender flares, chrome exterior badges, black color lower front and rear fascias, and a swanky set of 22-inch chrome wheels.
Though it may seem like the Limited may be nothing less than a styling package, Jeep gave it some features from the options book to enhance convenience for owners and their families, including power side steps, power-folding second and third row seats, a tri-pane sunroof that extends throughout the cabin, and a Surround View Camera for added visibility.

Though the Wagoneer Limited may be a compelling choice for some buyers, Jeep has a car for those who want just a little bit more. The brand is resurrecting the Super name, a name that dates back to the Super Wagoneer that first launched in 1966. While the original Super Wagoneer from nearly sixty years ago had features like power brakes and power steering, 2025's new Jeep Wagoneer Super comes with a smattering of goodies, including a two-tone black painted roof, body-color fender flares, and a premium soft-touch wrapped interior—all features that were previously reserved for buyers of the swankier Grand Wagoneer.
Also included are 22-inch machined black aluminum wheels that look similar to those from the Ram 1500 Laramie, a full trim black-out package, which darkens the badging and grille rings, carbide headlights, black-finished power side steps, a tri-pane panoramic sunroof, and a McIntosh 19-speaker premium audio system.
Final thoughts
Pricing details reveal that these models do carry a bit of a premium over their 'regular' models. The Wagoneer Limited has an MSRP of $76,535 (including destination), while the Super has an MSRP of $82,535, which is competitively priced with rivals like the Ford Expedition Platinum and the GMC Yukon Denali, respectively.
Detroit's manufacturers do very well in the U.S. full-size SUV market, with some Japanese players like the Nissan Armada, Toyota Grand Highlander, and Sequoia also competing in the space. However, Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram dealers' attitude towards sales and incentives can sweeten the deal even further at the right time.

Get ready to hear a lot more about Aion EVs in the UK
Chinese automotive powerhouse Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) is set to enter the fiercely-competitive UK electric car market, announcing a joint venture with distributor Jameel Motors. The team-up will see the launch of GAC's dedicated EV sub-brand, Aion, with the first models expected to reach UK customers in early 2026. The move marks the latest in a wave of new EV brands from China targeting British consumers. GAC joins an increasingly crowded EV market, competing against established European and Asian manufacturers as well as fellow Chinese newcomers like BYD and Omoda. The launch will focus on two all-electric models: the Aion V, an SUV poised to challenge the Kia EV3 and BYD Atto 2, and the Aion UT, a hatchback to rival the Vauxhall Corsa Electric, Peugeot e-208 and MG4. Additional models from the Aion line-up are also expected to come to the UK. GAC is one of China's biggest automakers, though it's unlikely you'll have spotted any of its cars on UK roads. The UK saw a 25.8 per cent year-on-year increase in EV registrations as of May 2025, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, highlighting the significant long-term potential GAC aims to tap into. Wayne Wei, president of GAC International says 'GAC's entry into the UK marks a crucial step in its internationalisation strategy. As we set foot in this dynamic market, GAC is committed to bringing industry-leading products and first-class services to UK consumers.' By partnering with an experienced distributor in Jameel, GAC looks to take advantage of the network's logistics, retail, and after-sales support, accelerating their path to market and mitigating the significant investment required to build a network independently. Jasmmine Wong, chief executive officer of Jameel Motors, says 'the joint venture with GAC represents a shared vision, and an exciting opportunity to meet the UK's growing demand for smarter, cleaner passenger vehicles. Led by customer preference and guided by our expertise, we're committed to staying ahead of trends and delivering first-class solutions that are both innovative and sustainable.' GAC arrives in the UK with formidable credentials. The company sold over 100,000 of its self-branded vehicles overseas in 2024. Its Aion brand is central to its electric ambitions, showcasing the company's focus on innovative tech.

Wall St edges up as strong retail sales data, earnings lift sentiment

Fed Governor Adriana Kugler signaled that rate cuts are off the table for now, warning that Trump-era tariffs are starting to push up consumer prices - and that tight monetary policy is crucial to keep inflation fears from taking hold. Meanwhile, attention also remained on looming tariffs, with an August 1 deadline threatening higher levies for many U.S. trading partners. Trump told Real America's Voice on Wednesday that the U.S. is closing in on a deal with India and may soon reach an agreement with Europe as well.
