Jeep Grand Wagoneer L
Jeep Grand Wagoneer L
How it looks on the street: We drove the 2024 top-dog Wagoneer L laced with the Series III Obsidian trim, a thorough, extended exercise in rugged luxury. The Wagoneer and the extended wheelbase the Wagoneer L levels up the Jeep brand in a way that makes it a true luxe contender. It’s size and substance and harkens back to the vibes of when Jeep first introduced the Grand Cherokee way back when, a category that’s grown formidable over the decades. It’s sophisticated. Its sturdy. What’s slightly confusing is keeping all these names separate: there’s also a Grand Cherokee and a plain Wagoneer, which can’t compete with the space and finery of the Grand Wagoneer.
How it makes you feel when you get in: The extensive list of standard options throw in everything but the kitchen sink. The Grand Wagoneer L is designed for personalized experience inside the cabin and allows for five personalized user profiles that are tailored to preference and manage cabin temperature, audio selections, and seating position. The heads-up display is useful for driving visibility. e The Amazon Alexa capabilities are an optional convenience for families that consider more screen time ia bonus with Amazon Fire’s wide variety of options – no need to remember an iPad. (You can charge your whole life with 11 USB-C charging options on board, in case an ipad is preferred.) Parents can literally have eyes in the back of their heads with a screen that’s able to project and an image of the rear cabin. The McIntosh speaker system is pretty fantastic, and broadcasts through 23 speakers. Self-parking helps maneuver this truck-like vehicle in tight spaces, which is difficult to park on its own. To suit it up, cabin chairs are preferable to the bench-seat option, assuming that seven seats is enough.
How it drives: Wagoneer is packed with engine verve, especially with thee 510-horsepower twin-turbo inline six engine – the most powerful performer in this class of super-sized SUV. The tradeoff for this gasoline-power SUV is not-so-great fuel economy for these times, averaging 16 miles per gallon – though an improvement of fullsize SUVs of decades past. The brakes are prompt and manage the brawn with grace. Four-wheel drive helps with the ground clearance so that this large vehicle can pass over low curbs.
Space for people and things: The whole point of a vehicle this size is ample interior space, and on that point Wagoneer delivers. The L is not only spacious, its suited to accommodate someone the size of an NBA player. Stowage is plentiful including two stowage containers suited for a makeup bag.
What to compare it to: Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, and Lincoln Navigator.
How much does it cost: The base price of the trim we tested is $113,000 and with the rear seat entertainment that consists of Amazon Fire and 10.1-inch screen, and the option for an extra coat of paint and accents $121,350. In contrast the base level Wagoneer starts at $91,000.
