Jeep finally revealed the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer luxury SUVs with powerful V8s and opulent, spacious cabins.
The brand first launched these models more than 60 years ago, and nearly 30 years have passed since they were last sold on American soil. However, Jeep decided to bring them back on the market due to popular demand. Large SUVs are selling like hotcakes, making the Wagoneer lineup an easy proposition. Things will not be easy for the Wagoneer and the Grand Wagoneer, though. They will face stiff competition from the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Cadillac.
Jeep says that its largest SUVs would have excellent driving mechanics, best-in-class 10,000-pound towing capacity, powerful performance, advanced technology and safety features, and unmatched riding experience.
Elegant, yet Muscular Exterior
The exterior of both SUVs takes inspiration from the original Wagoneer and looks very elegant. Moreover, the wide stance gives them a more muscular appearance, which buyers in the segment appreciate. Meanwhile, the large architecturally-drawn windows enhance overall visibility.
You can distinguish the Wagoneer and the Grand Wagoneer from each other by looking at the exterior features. The Wagoneer features fog lamps, LED headlights, standard side steps, and accent badging. Meanwhile, the Grand Wagoneer has premium LED lights, power-retractable side steps, fender flares, and a two-tone black accent roof, front end, hood, and grille.
Best-In-Class Passenger and Cargo Volume
It’s time to step inside the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer cabin and see what Jeep has to offer. Jeep claims that both SUVs offer best-in-class passenger volume, third-row headroom, second and third-row legroom, and cargo space behind the third row. Furthermore, both offer third-row seating as standard and can comfortably accommodate eight passengers at once.
The Grand Wagoneer Features Massive 75-inch Overall Display Area
Another feature that distinguishes the Wagoneer SUVs is the displays galore inside. Notably, Jeep says that the total screen display area on the Grand Wagoneer is 75-inches, out of which 45-inches are on the front instrument panel itself.
Precisely, Wagoneer’s instrument cluster measures 10.3-inches, whereas Grand Wagoneer’s measures 12.3 inches. Then, the infotainment systems on both SUVs measure 10.1-inches and 12.0-inches, respectively.
There is also an additional 10.25-inch display for the front passenger, the first in the category. The front passenger can use the screen to control the navigation with the Co-Pilot feature, as entertainment via HDMI, or even watch movies on the built-in Amazon Fire TV.
And if that wasn’t enough, there is another 10.25-inch center display for controlling the HVAC system. But wait, there is more – second-row passengers get a 10.25-inches fixed rear comfort screen as standard on the Grand Wagoneer.
Every screen inside Wagoneer’s and Grand Wagoneer’s cabin is controlled with Jeep’s all-new Uconnect 5 system. The hardware also supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard on all trims. Besides, the SUVs would be the first vehicles to support the Amazon Fire TV with Alexa integration.
Powerful V8 Engines Come as Standard
The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer packs a 5.7-liter V8 engine producing 392 hp and 404 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eTorque 48-volt hybrid system. Meanwhile, the 2022 Grand Wagoneer packs a larger 6.4-liter V8 engine that produces 471 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque. The power goes to the wheels via a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer will be available in three trims: Series I, Series II, and Series III. Concurrently, the 2022 Grand Wagoneer would also offer the same trims, along with an additional Obsidian trim.
The entry-level Wagoneer costs $69,995, whereas you will have to shell $85,995 for the top model. On the other hand, the Grand Wagoneer’s entry-level model starts at $100,995, with the top-of-the-line trim costing $120,995. Deliveries should start from the second half of 2021.
