2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Starting at $89.995

Highs Relaxing ride quality, roomy interior with lots of rich bits, “L” models have huge cargo-space advantage.
Lows Not-so-great fuel economy, sheer size compromises its agility, awkward proportions won’t appeal to everyone.
Verdict The Grand Wagoneer sees Jeep enter the realm of large luxury SUVs, albeit with surprises and compromises.

Overview
Before the Grand Wagoneer arrived, Jeep had never built an SUV so big and luxurious. Within its enormous shell are three rows and seating for up to eight, not to mention attractive materials and upscale features throughout. The long-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer L has more storage space behind all those seats, too. Unfortunately, the longer version also will be more difficult to maneuver than its already cumbersome counterpart. Regardless of length, the largest Jeep suffers from terrible fuel economy, with a combined EPA rating of just 16 mpg. That estimate isn’t for a big-displacement V-8, either, but a new twin-turbo six-cylinder with 510 horsepower. At least that engine should get the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and its precious cargo where it needs to go on time and in exceptional comfort. For those not looking to spend six figures, the Jeep Wagoneer is a less expensive, albeit less fancy, alternative.

What's New for 2023?
For 2023, the Grand Wagoneer L joins the lineup. Its wheelbase is seven inches longer than the standard Wagoneer, and it’s a foot longer overall. These extensions contribute to considerably more cargo space behind all three rows of seats. Under the hood, the long-wheelbase model has Stellantis’s new Hurricane engine, which is a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that makes 510 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. While it is standard on the stretched Grand Wagoneer L, a 471-hp 6.4-liter V-8 is still available on the base trim of the regular Grand Wagoneer.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
Series I: $89,995
Series II: $97,090
Series II Premium: $101,085
Series II Obsidian: $102,585
Series III: $109,995
Series III Obsidian: $110,990

We think the Series II trim level looks to be the best value. It comes standard with 22-inch wheels, a two-tone roof, a 10.3-inch touchscreen for the front passenger, nicer leather-trimmed upholstery, a rear-seat monitoring system, and additional driver assists such as night vision and a semi-autonomous drive mode.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
With the introduction of the new long-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer L comes a new engine. Dubbed the Hurricane, the 510-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. While this engine comes standard on the stretched Grand Wagoneer L, the standard-wheelbase model can still be had with the 471-hp 6.4-liter V-8 powertrain, but only on the base model. The new I-6 is the engine to get anyway, as it beat the older V-8 in our acceleration testing, propelling the Grand Wagoneer L to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. As with its domestic rivals, the Grand Wagoneer utilizes body-on-frame underpinnings, in this case, derived from the Ram 1500 pickup truck. However, the Jeep features 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. Along with several four-wheel-drive systems, the Grand Wagoneer offers an adaptive air suspension that can raise its ride height up to 3.6 inches or lower it by a half-inch. It also boasts 10 inches of ground clearance, up to two feet of water-fording capability, and a max tow rating of 9860 pounds. After driving the Grand Wagoneer, we appreciated its relaxed and refined ride on the highway; however, its pickup-truck structure contributes to a jiggly ride when the pavement is less smooth. Likewise, the massive SUV isn't very agile in small spaces and suffers from notable body roll on curvy roads that are exacerbated by its light and vague steering feel.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
With standard three-row seating and space for either seven or eight passengers, the Grand Wagoneer provides large families an opportunity to live the Jeep lifestyle, which hasn't been possible since the old and unloved Commander was around. A pair of second-row captain's chairs are standard, but a bench seat is available for maximum passenger capacity. As the luxury version of the regular Wagoneer, its cabin is loaded with elegant environs, such as genuine wood accents, and high-tech features, such as a 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster.
