2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Starting at $89,995

Highs Relaxing ride quality, spacious interior with many rich parts, "L" models have the advantage of huge cargo space.
Not-so-good fuel economy, sheer size compromises agility, its odd proportions won't appeal to everyone.
The decision Grand Wagoneer sees Jeep enter the realm of large luxury SUVs, albeit with surprises and concessions.

overview
Before the Grand Wagoneer came along, Jeep had never made an SUV this big and luxurious. It has three rows and up to eight seats inside its enormous shell, not to mention attractive materials and luxury features throughout. The long-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer L has more storage behind all those seats, too. Unfortunately, the longer version will be more difficult to maneuver than its already cumbersome counterpart. Regardless of its length, the largest Jeep suffers from terrible fuel economy with a combined EPA rating of only 16 mpg. That estimate isn't for a bulky V-8 either, but for a new twin-turbo six-cylinder with 510 horsepower. At the very least, this engine should get the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and its precious cargo to its destination on time and with extraordinary comfort. For those who don't want to spend six figures, the Jeep Wagoneer is a cheaper alternative, albeit less fancy.

What's New in 2023?

For 2023, the Grand Wagoneer L joins the series. The wheelbase is seven inches longer than the standard Wagoneer and a foot longer overall. These extensions contribute significantly more luggage space behind the three rows of seats. Under the hood, the long-wheelbase model features Stellantis' new Hurricane engine with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that produces 510 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. While the elongated Grand Wagoneer is standard on the L, a 471-hp 6.4-liter V-8 is still present in the floor covering of the regular Grand Wagoneer.

Engine, Transmission and Performance

With the introduction of the new long-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer L comes a new engine. Dubbed the Hurricane, it's a 510-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. While that engine comes standard on the elongated Grand Wagoneer L, the standard-wheelbase model is still available with a 471-hp 6.4-liter V-8 drivetrain, but only in the base model. The new I-6 is still a must-buy engine, as it beat the old V-8 in our acceleration test, taking the Grand Wagoneer L to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds. As with its domestic competitors, Grand Wagoneer uses chassis braces on the body, in this case derived from the Ram 1500 pickup truck. However, the Jeep has an independent rear suspension rather than the truck's solid rear axle, which gives the SUV a smoother ride and better handling than the Ram. Alongside several all-wheel drive systems, the Grand Wagoneer offers an adaptive air suspension that can raise the ride height by up to 3.6 inches or lower it by half an inch. It also boasts 10 inches of ground clearance, up to two feet of water crossing, and a maximum draw ratio of 9860 pounds. After driving the Grand Wagoneer, we appreciated its smooth and refined ride on the highway; however, the pickup truck construction contributes to a bumpy ride when the pavement is less smooth. Likewise, the massive SUV isn't very agile in small spaces and suffers from significant body roll on winding roads, exacerbated by the light and vague steering feel.
