The 2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer might initially strike you as understated in appearance, but beneath its robust and classic Jeep design lies a world of luxury, advanced technology, and notably, class-leading towing capabilities and off-road prowess.
This substantial SUV, stretching nearly 18 feet in length and weighing around 6,400 pounds, truly lives up to its “Grand” name. It’s propelled by a powerful turbo V6 engine working in concert with an air spring suspension, delivering a driving experience that feels consistently energetic and responsive. Whether accelerating from a standstill or requiring extra power for highway overtaking, this three-ton SUV moves with impressive authority. This is particularly noteworthy considering the Grand Wagoneer also accommodates a spacious three-row interior, a multitude of touchscreens and digital displays, a premium 19 or 23-speaker McIntosh sound system, and luxurious Italian leather upholstery – features that redefine expectations for the Jeep brand.
While its sheer size might limit its agility in extremely tight off-road situations, the Grand Wagoneer remains a true Jeep at heart. Equipped with a two-speed transfer case, a rear locking differential, and an adaptable air suspension capable of raising the vehicle to a generous 10 inches of ground clearance, it’s more than capable of tackling challenging terrains beyond typical snowy roads or well-maintained trails. Its length and width might reduce its nimbleness on narrow trails, but for accessing remote destinations, it presents minimal obstacles.
However, the primary appeal for most Grand Wagoneer buyers isn’t solely its off-road skills. While that is a valuable advantage over competitors, its class-leading 10,000-pound towing capacity likely holds even greater significance. Coupled with its high-end interior, cutting-edge in-car technology, and comprehensive suite of active safety features, the Grand Wagoneer emerges as a compelling alternative to established luxury SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, and GMC Yukon Denali. Similar to these rivals, the Grand Wagoneer also offers a longer wheelbase variant – the Grand Wagoneer L – providing approximately two additional feet in length and about 15 extra cubic feet of cargo volume.
It’s worth noting that the Grand Wagoneer, like its luxury counterparts, comes with a premium price tag. Prices begin around $87,000 and can reach up to $112,000. At this price point, options like a base-level Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X7, Infiniti QX80, and Lexus LX 600 are also available. Lastly, for those seeking similar capability at a slightly more accessible price, the Jeep Wagoneer offers a less extravagant but equally competent alternative within the same family.
