2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Truck: What We Know About the Upcoming New Truck Jeep Grand Wagoneer – The Jeep Grand Wagoneer 2024 is Jeep’s largest and most luxurious SUV. The Grand Wagoneer is based on the Jeep Wagoneer, a truck-based vehicle that has a lot in common with the Ram 1500. It comes with more standard features and options. Also, it boasts upscale interior appointments.
Grand Wagoneer is the most luxurious and expensive model in the Jeep 2024 lineup. It’s big, boxy, and very powerful. The full-size, three-row SUV will be getting a more powerful, smaller engine for the 2024 model year. It also gains a longer wheelbase.
Review
Grand Wagoneer, the Jeep is best placed to compete with the luxury SUVs of Cadillac and Lincoln. We were impressed by the 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4X4 Series III’s spacious cabin, comfortable seating, and excellent visibility outside. The 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4X4 Series III we tested has a huge cargo area and comes equipped with even more climate zones, screens, and speakers than the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge.
The 2023 model is the same as the previous one. The ride on the pavement is comfortable and easy, yet sure-footed. The Hurricane engine continues to deliver the highest-rated straight-line performance in the class. The new engine, which boasts 510 horsepower, improves both performance and fuel efficiency over the V-8 of last year. Jeep may introduce hybrid powertrains at some point.
The closest competitor to the Grand Wagoneer may be the greatest obstacle. Standard Wagoneer is essentially the same and has many of the exact same features. The Grand Wagoneer is more expensive and features a higher-end engine, but the Wagoneer standard still has an impressively powerful motor and a well-appointed cabin.
The Grand Wagoneer, regardless of its engine or wheelbase (standard or long), is an impressive luxury large SUV.
Grand Wagoneer falls between two size categories, which means it is longer than many three-row SUVs and shorter than extended models. (Think Navigator L or Escalade ESV). The Grand Wagoneer offers 27.4 cubic feet of storage behind the third-row seats, which is more than the Cadillac Escalade, with 25.5 cubic feet. (The Escalade ESV, however, has 41.5 cubic feet). The Jeep has a maximum of 70.9 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 116.7 with all seats down. The Grand Wagoneer’s relatively low hatch height is a major oversight. The hinges of the Grand Wagoneer’s liftgate are so low that anyone over 6 feet will have trouble getting under it.
There are plenty of storage options for smaller items, but the space isn’t very generous. The second-row captains’ chairs were adjustable, so it was easy to reach all of the anchors. Grand Wagoneer’s towing capacity is also exceptional, at a maximum of 10,000 pounds. This is enough to tow a large travel trailer or toy hauler, depending on what you are into. 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Truck
Interior
You probably need a lot of room when you are shopping for an SUV. Grand Wagoneer offers plenty of space in each row, especially when it comes down to headroom for the third row. The third row is the best for adults. To make it easier to get in and out, the air suspension can automatically lower when you park. Auto-retracting steps on the side also help. With the touch of a single button, the second-row seats can be tilted and slid forward to create an easy pass-through for third-row passengers.
It is a great driving position, with visibility comparable to other SUVs of similar size. We don’t care for the touch-sensitive controls on the Grand Wagoneer. We understand the attempt to modernize interiors, but it is not done well. It only creates frustration and distraction. Jeep buttons can be unresponsive or lack haptic feedback. This means that you will often need to stop driving to ensure you press the button correctly. The touchscreen can be retracted to reveal power and wireless charging ports. The idea is great, but you will have to decide whether to access the cubby or use its touchscreen controls.
What’s your tech like? Jeep’s intentions were good. There are so many USB ports that it’s hard to keep track. And there is a wireless charging pad hidden. In our tests, however, we discovered that the pad didn’t hold the smartphone securely and it would allow the device to slip, preventing the charger from working. Wireless connectivity is available for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on the Grand Wagoneer, so that’s a positive.
We also found that the upgraded McIntosh audio system was not very impressive. It lacked volume, even when we played some sample soundtracks. We were unable to get the rear seat entertainment system, despite our efforts. Grand Wagoneer is the only vehicle in its class that comes with a comprehensive set of advanced driving features, many of which are standard. In rush hour traffic, adaptive cruise control is a great feature. Blind-spot assist and surround-view cameras are also very useful.
Engine
Grand Wagoneer’s combined EPA estimated mileage is 15 mpg (13 city/18 freeway). This may be disappointing, but it makes sense considering the large displacement V8. Our 115-mile real-world test route, mainly highway, averaged 16.1 mpg. This indicates that the EPA’s estimates are fairly accurate. You should be aware that the EPA recommends premium fuel, which will cost you a lot.
The Grand Wagoneer will be equipped with the 3.0-liter six-cylinder inline engine that delivers 510 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque. The Grand Wagoneer L, with its so-called Hurricane Engine, achieves an EPA Rating of 14/19 mpg. This is more efficient than the 2022 Grand Wagoneer standard wheelbase, which achieved 13/18 mpg.
This new engine is paired with 8-speed transmission, and it has 4WD. A Hurricane equipped Grand Wagoneer L reached 60 mph during our tests in just five seconds. This is a remarkable result, considering that the engine was “only” six cylinders and how big the car is. It’s also a 0.7-second increase over the V-8.
Grand Wagoneer models can be configured with a V-8 engine for customers who prefer it. The Obsidian Package allows models to be fitted with an old V8 engine with 471 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. This engine is less powerful and more fuel-efficient than the I-6. Its only advantage is a 50-pound increase in maximum towing (9,850 pounds), and it may sound better.
The Grand Wagoneer can tow 9,800 lbs with the I-6, and 9,850 pounds for models equipped with the V-8. It’s rated to pull up to 9,800 pounds with the I-6 engine, and 9,850 pounds for the V-8.
