Perhaps, perhaps not. The current Territory will be around until the end of this year/early next and will be using the Copperhead I6 until then, but will be Euro 4 compliant. In fact, I am led to believe that Copperhead is already E4 compliant with some calibration and exhaust changes.

The wagon uses the same motor. Considering its all about E4 compliance, and they sell 4-500 wagons a month (which is money for jam really as the R&D and tooling costs have long since been paid for) keeping the wagon going isnt going to cost them the earth. The only issue I can see is production line and stamping plant complexity having to deal with 4 different body types.
