Jeep Wagoneer vs Grand Wagoneer: what are the differences between these 2 full-size luxury SUVs and which model will best cater to your lifestyle and needs? Although these 2 luxury utilities have many things in common, they offer different features, like those found in the list of on-board equipment, the powertrain, the different available trims and the interior volume.
Duclos Laval Chrysler tells you more about the similarities and differences between these 2 exceptional SUVs!
2024 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer: Price and Trim Levels
The 2024 Wagoneer family includes 2 models: one with a standard wheelbase and one with an elongated wheelbase, sold at the following base prices:
- Wagoneer
Models | MSRP |
---|---|
Wagoneer Series II Carbide | $99,205 |
Wagoneer L Series II Carbide | $102,412 |
Moreover, as early as next fall, a new trim will be released: the Wagoneer S, a 100 % electric model. We will get back to it a little further.
When it comes to the Grand Wagoneer, there are 2 trims with a standard wheelbase and 2 for the elongated models as well.
- Grand Wagoneer
Models | MSRP |
---|---|
Grand Wagoneer Series II Obsidian | $131,818 |
Grand Wagoneer Series III | $140,913 |
Grand Wagoneer L Series II Obsidian | $136,018 |
Grand Wagoneer L Series III | $145,113 |
It is true that the Wagoneer and the Grand Wagoneer are offered in a price range that makes them inaccessible to several buyers; however, they rival with competing full-size SUV models, like Cadillac, Tesla or BMW, which only serves to confirm their status of luxury SUV.
Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer: Exterior Features
The least we can say is that these 2 sport utilities won’t go by unnoticed! In fact, their imposing size, coupled with very rugged lines, make them simply irresistible.
Here are just a few of the exterior features they offer:
Features | Wagoneer | Grand Wagoneer |
---|---|---|
Wheel Size | 20- to 22- inches | 22- inches |
Colours | · Baltic Grey Metallic· River Rock· Silver Zynith· Red Velvet Pearl· Black Crystal Pearl· Bright White | · Baltic Grey Metallic· River Rock· Silver Zynith· Red Velvet Pearl· Black Crystal Pearl· Bright White· Midnight Sky |
Lighting | LED, front and rear | LED, front and rear |
Fog Lights | LED (also cornering foglamps) | LED (also cornering foglamps) |
Liftgate | Power, hands-free | Power, hands-free |
Roof | 3- panel panoramic | 3- panel panoramic |
Steps | Side steps | Power side steps |
High-Performance Powertrains
If you appreciate large SUVs with powerful powertrains, these 2 models won’t disappoint!
In fact, the 2024 Wagoneer and Wagoneer L are equipped with a powerful 3.0 L twin-turbo Hurricane engine that produces 420 horsepower/468 lb-ft. maximum torque, coupled with an 8- speed automatic TorqueFlite transmission, along with a 4×4 system.
As for the Grand Wagoneer, the 5.7 L V8 has been replaced with the same Hurricane powertrain as the one found on the Wagoneer models, though it offers even more power. In fact, both the standard Grand Wagoneer models and those with the elongated wheelbase now offer 510 horsepower/500 lb-ft. maximum torque; they are also equipped with a high-performance 4×4 drivetrain and an 8- speed automatic transmission.
With these levels of power ‒and considering their imposing size-, we could expect extremely high consumption numbers. It is not the case, however, as both SUVs are more frugal than several of their competitors, as you can tell from the following summary table:
Models | City/highway |
---|---|
Wagoneer | 14.5/10.4 L/100 km |
Grand Wagoneer | 16.3/11.8 L/100 km |
Cadillac Escalade | 16.6/13.0 L/100 km |
Infiniti QX80 | 17.5/12.4 L/100 km |
When it comes to the future fully electric Wagoneer S, we have very little information for the time being; we do know, however, that it will produce an impressive 600 horsepower/617 lb-ft. maximum torque, allowing it to accomplish the 0-97 km/hr (0-60 mph) in as little as 3.4 seconds. This means that it is a faster SUV than the late Jeep Grand Cherokee Tackhawk which could reach the 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, thanks to a 707 horsepower powertrain.
Interior and Exterior Dimensions
With extremely generous exterior dimensions, both the Wagoneer and the Grand Wagoneer command respect. Moreover, the spacious interior, which includes 3- rows, will allow you to welcome between 7- and 8- passengers, depending on the selected configuration.
Here are the different interior and exterior dimensions for both SUVs:
Features | Wagoneer | Wagoneer L | Grand Wagoneer | Grand Wagoneer L |
---|---|---|---|---|
Length | 5,453 mm | 5,759 mm | 5,453 mm | 5,759 mm |
Width | 2,124 mm | 2,124 mm | 2,124 mm | 2,124 mm |
Height | 2,025 mm | 2,024 mm | 2,025 mm | 2,024 mm |
Wheelbase | 3,124 mm | 3,303 mm | 3,124 mm | 3,303 mm |
Headroom 1st/2nd/3rd row | 1,049/1,016/991 mm | 1,049/1,016/992 mm | 998/975/977 mm | 998/975/977 mm |
Legroom 1st/2nd/3rd row | 1,040/1,085/930 mm | 1,040/1,085/930 mm | 1,040/1,085/930 mm | 1,040/1,085/930 mm |
Seating | 7-8 | 7-8 | 7-8 | 7-8 |
Take note that the 2024 Wagoneer offers the most generous amount of legroom in 3rd row for a vehicle of its category, along with the most generous legroom and headroom in the 2nd row.
Towing Capacity and Cargo Space
Both of these SUVs stand out with a remarkable towing capacity as well, also placing them at the head of their segment.
When it comes to the Wagoneer, the towing capacity reaches 10,000 pounds (4,535 kg); it is slightly inferior for the Grand Wagoneer model, but still reaches up to 9,850 pounds (4,468 kg).
Moreover, if you are looking for a full-size SUV with a generous amount of cargo space, you will not be disappointed by the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer:
Models | Behind 3rd row | Behind 2nd row | Behind 1st row |
---|---|---|---|
Wagoneer | 775 L | 2,004 L | 3,304 L |
Wagoneer L | 1,192 L | 2,415 L | 3,706 L |
Grand Wagoneer | 804 L | 2,064 L | 2,744 L |
Grand Wagoneer L | 1,251 L | 2,514 L | 3,197 L |
This is much more than what several of their rivals offer, including the BMW X7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLS, offering from 392 to 2,560 liters and from 492 to 2,398 liters respectively.
