According to Automotive News, this new model is being developed as an answer to Cadillac’s Escalade ESV, along with the longer versions of the Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Lincoln Navigator. Doug Moreland, owner of Fort Collins Jeep in Colorada and other dealers in Nevada and Wyoming, says that the Colorado market specifically looks for bigger vehicles. “Out here, there are a lot of Suburbans, Denali XLs,” explains Moreland. “People drive them because they love that extra room in the back. They haul stuff up the mountains: skis, camping gear.”
Of course, when speaking with corporate head office, no confirmation of the lengthened variants would be given, but spy shots have already captured prototypes, so we know it’s coming.
