The 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L Features & Technology

 

When it comes to large SUVs capable of swallowing just about any cargo you can throw at them, you can’t look past the Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L. These huge three-row vehicles can accommodate seven or eight people in the cabin while offering a massive cargo area and remarkable towing abilities. Our Jeep experts here at Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat (CJDRF) took a closer look at these two SUVs to find out what makes them unique.

What’s the Difference Between the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L?

If you thought the Jeep Wagoneer and its luxurious Grand Wagoneer sibling were big, you haven’t seen the Wagoneer L or Grand Wagoneer L yet. These two latest additions to the Wagoneer lineup have 7 inches of additional wheelbase and are 12 inches longer than the original Wagoneer. This added space provides an even larger rear cargo area.

The additional space gives the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L 42.1 cubic feet and 44.2 cubic feet of storage space behind the third row, respectively, compared to just over 27 cubic feet in the original Wagoneer models. With the two rear rows folded flat, you can open up over 112 cubic feet of space. You can easily load a 4×8 sheet of plywood behind the front row with room to spare.

Engine and Performance

A 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine powers both the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L. In the Wagoneer L, this unit churns out 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. The Grand Wagoneer L benefits from an even more powerful version of the same engine capable of generating 510 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Both Jeeps also share the same eight-speed automatic transmission.

Three four-wheel-drive configurations are available across these two vehicles. The Quadra-Trac I system has a single-speed transfer case. Quadra-Trac II has a two-speed transfer case, while Quadra-Drive II uses an electronic slip differential and sensors to anticipate losses in torque and adjust traction on the wheels appropriately. The Quadra-Drive II system is available in the Grand Wagoneer L only.

The Wagoneer L has a standard coil suspension with the option of upgrading to an air suspension. The air suspension is standard with the Grand Wagoneer L. It adds better performance and also has five height settings for your vehicle. The highest setting gives the Grand Wagoneer L a fantastic 10 inches of ground clearance.

Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L Passenger Capacity

These full-sized SUVs can accommodate eight people if you stick with the standard bench seat in the second row. If you choose to swap the bench for captain’s chairs, the capacity drops to seven people. Thanks to the spacious dimensions of the cabin, adult passengers have plenty of room to sit in all three rows of the Wagoneer L or Grand Wagoneer L.

Both the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L have upscale cabins, with leather upholstery coming standard. The Grand Wagoneer L stands out even more with its additional features. 24-way power adjustments, massaging functions, and ventilation are standard for the front seats in the Grand Wagoneer L. In addition, the Grand Wagoneer L’s two rear rows have a power-folding mechanism to make it even easier for you to open up the maximum cargo area.

Infotainment Features

The Wagoneer L has a 10.1-inch infotainment screen at the center of the dashboard, and you also get a standard 10.3-inch gauge cluster. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are offered with standard wireless connectivity, making it even easier to use your phone in conjunction with Jeep’s infotainment system. USB ports are located throughout the cabin, including four ports usefully situated for third-row passengers.

The Grand Wagoneer L manages to offer even more touchscreens than the Wagoneer L. The main touch screen measures 12 inches, and there’s also a 12.3-inch gauge cluster and a 10.1-inch screen located below the main touch screen.

On top of these standard displays, you can add another 10-inch screen for the front-seat passenger to operate and two 10-inch screens mounted on the rear of the front-seat headrests as part of Jeep’s rear-seat infotainment system. The two screens for second-row passengers work independently, removing the need for arguments between the kids about what they should watch on a long drive.

Like the Wagoneer L, the Grand Wagoneer L has wireless smartphone compatibility. Under the lower touch screen, you’ll find a wireless charging pad for your phone.

Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L Safety

Both of these full-sized SUVs are well-equipped with driver assistance features to help keep you and your family safe on the road. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection are all standard. Parking sensors will help you maneuver this extra-large vehicle into a tight spot.

In the base Wagoneer L trim, a surround-view camera is available as an optional upgrade, but it comes standard in all other trims. This camera is well worth having since it provides an aerial view of your Grand Wagoneer L or Wagoneer L so that you can spot obstacles from all sides.

As you can see, Jeep has provided buyers looking for a huge cabin and impressive power train plenty of things to think about. The Wagoneer L is certainly the more affordable option, with a starting price of around $58,000 compared to the Grand Wagoneer L’s MSRP of over $85,000. Both vehicles offer more than ample space for a large family to travel in style, but those of you looking for extra power under the hood and a luxurious interior will probably be drawn to the Grand Wagoneer L.
