Gallery Our Opinion - 2025 Jeep Wagoneer Review The well-known Wagoneer nameplate came back to the market in 2022 for a beautiful full-size Jeep SUV with three rows of seats and either a normal or L-extended wheelbase (think Chevy Tahoe and Suburban sizes). In other words, it’s big. A 420-hp twin-turbocharged inline-six engine gives it power, and there are many four-wheel-drive versions to choose from. It comes with rear-wheel drive. All Wagoneers have leather seats, either seven or eight seats, warmth and cooling in the front, and a lot of room for a group of people and their stuff. Jeep’s Grand Wagoneer, which looks a lot like the Waggy and comes in two lengths (reviewed separately), has a more powerful twin-turbo inline-six engine, more luxury features, bigger touch screen and digital gauge panels, and some driver-assistance technologies that the Waggy doesn’t have. The Wagoneers are big, which can make parking hard, even though they are fun to drive and easy on the highway, especially with the air suspension option. When it comes to big trucks like the GMC Yukon, Ford Expedition, and those Chevrolets, the same is true. The Grand Cherokee L brings Jeep’s signature features in a more compact design. What's New? A few small changes are made to the Wagoneer in its fourth year of production. Power-folding mirrors used to be available only on Grand models, but Jeep just started offering them on other models as well. Also, the base Wagoneer grades used to come with 18-inch wheels, but now they come with 20-inch wheels as standard. Modern models also come standard with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Pros and Cons Pros A strong engine. Plenty of cabin space to enjoy. Quiet and respectful riding. Cons It costs a lot to refuel. Folding the second-row seats quickly and hard. No PHEV car looks like the Grand Wagoneer. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo engine producing 420 hp, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this vehicle commands attention. Customers who want to use Wagoneer’s off-road skills must choose the four-wheel drive in addition to the rear-wheel drive, which comes standard. There are three different types of four-wheel drive systems, and each one can carry a different amount of weight. A drive mode selector system featuring sand/mud, snow, and rock settings, along with an adjustable air suspension that can raise the Wagoneer by an additional 3.6 inches, offers two more off-road options. Additionally, the Wagoneer can pull up to 10,000 pounds. When we tested the extended-wheelbase L model of the Wagoneer, we were more pleased with how well it held the road than when we tested the regular model. It’s more fun to drive on the highway because the suspension is gently changed. Safety The Wagoneer has a lot of useful features that help the driver, like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and pedestrian recognition. The following are important safety features: The standard automatic emergency braking system can distinguish between bicycles and pedestrians. The lane departure warning system includes assistance to help you stay in your lane. It comes with blind-spot tracking and adaptive cruise control as standard. Internal and External Cargo Capacity The Wagoneer has a roomy three-row interior that can accommodate eight people, but that number drops to seven if you go for the second-row captain’s seats. However, if you choose the captain’s chairs in the second row, the number drops to seven. The cabin looks beautiful, and it comes with a lot of nice features. The leather seats have 12 ways to change the height, ambient lighting, and three-zone automatic climate control. Most people will think that the regular Wagoneer’s options are high-class enough, but those who want the most luxurious car will have to pay more for the Grand Wagoneer. The trunk space is big, especially when the third row is folded down. We tested the short-wheelbase model and found that seven carry-on bags would fit behind the third row. For the long-wheelbase L model, fourteen ones would fit behind the third row. The L could hold 56 pieces of luggage when all the seats were put down, while the short-wheelbase Wagoneer could only hold 40. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG Wagoneers equipped with rear-wheel drive are considered the most fuel-efficient by the EPA. These vehicles get 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. Adding all-wheel drive reduces these ratings to 16 city mpg and 23 highway mpg. These values apply to both the standard-length and extended-wheelbase L variants.We tried a Grand Wagoneer L, which has a more powerful version of the Wagoneer’s inline-six engine, on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route and found that it got 20 mpg. Infotainment and Connectivity The inside of the Wagoneer is primarily composed of screens, with the most prominent of them being a 10.1-inch infotainment display and a 10.3-inch digital gauge display that provide driver information. It is possible to add a 10.3-inch screen to the dashboard for the person sitting in the front seat, which would give them access to entertainment and guidance services. Users can get to many services through the Uconnect 5 software interface, such as SiriusXM satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, built-in mapping, Amazon FireTV, Alexa, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. People who buy the most expensive Series III cars will be able to choose a 19-speaker sound system that was made in collaboration with McIntosh, a company that makes high-end audio equipment. Range, Charging, and Battery Life We still need to test our equipment on a Wagoneer equipped with the twin-turbo straight-six engine. In comparison, a four-wheel-drive Wagoneer featuring a 392-hp V-8 engine managed to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. We also tested a Grand Wagoneer L, which boasts 510 horsepower from the Hurricane Six, achieving the same 0-60 mph sprint in just 4.7 seconds. With a 420-hp turbo-six engine, the Wagoneer should likely hit 60 mph somewhere between these two times. Price and How to Choose We suggest starting with the Series II trim level because Jeep adds more chrome trim to the outside and Nappa leather seating to the inside. It’s a great deal to get the extra Premium Group package, which comes with 22-inch wheels, a three-pane panoramic sunroof, and roof-rail crossbars.
