2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

Our comparison tool provides a comprehensive, side-by-side comparison of up to four vehicles of your choice.

We haven't tested the Grand Wagoneer with the turbocharged six-cylinder engine yet, but we have tested it in other vehicles, such as the Ram 1500. It provides robust power, whether towing a trailer or quickly merging onto a highway.

The Grand Wagoneer has decent off-road capability relative to other SUVs its size. Four-wheel drive is standard on all trims, as is an adaptive air suspension that provides up to 10 inches of ground clearance. Full-size SUVs aren't known for nimbleness, but the Grand Wagoneer moves with less composure and athleticism than most behemoths.

We're also underwhelmed by the Grand Wagoneer's ride quality. The suspension smooths out small bumps just fine, but driving over bigger ones can result in uncomfortable body motions. Uneven pavement can cause the SUV to move side to side pretty dramatically.

The Grand Wagoneer has visibility comparable to other mega-sized SUVs. There's also a comprehensive suite of well-tuned advanced driving aids, most of which come standard. The adaptive cruise control and lane centering are great to have in rush-hour traffic, and the surround-view camera system and blind-spot aids are very helpful in maneuvering in tight spaces.

The Grand Wagoneer gets an EPA-estimated 17 mpg in combined driving, which is a bit below what rival SUVs can get but not unexpected considering the vehicle's size and power.

Seat comfort is excellent and the cabin is well insulated from noise. The front seats offer many adjustments, plus well-executed heating, ventilation and massaging functions. The second-row seats get heat and ventilation on higher trims, while the third row can recline a bit and has nice armrest padding.

There's plenty of space for adults in all three rows, with great third-row headroom. The air suspension can lower automatically when parked to ease getting in and out. Auto-retracting side steps help too. The second-row seats tilt and slide forward with the push of a button, creating a nice pass-through to the third row.

The Grand Wagoneer's driving position is great. What we don't like are the touch-sensitive controls, which create distraction and frustration, and the buttons are sometimes unresponsive and lack haptic feedback. A retracting touchscreen that reveals a wireless charger and power ports is a neat idea, but in practice you have to choose between accessing the cubby and using the touchscreen.

We found ample clearance for installing car seats, and the adjustability of the second-row captain's chairs made it really easy to access the necessary anchors.

The Grand Wagoneer offers 27.4 cubic feet of space behind the third row, which beats the Escalade's 25.5 cubic feet. And the Jeep offers 72.9 cubic feet with the third row folded and a max of 96.9 cubes with all rear seats down. One huge oversight is its relatively low hatch opening height. Anyone 6 feet tall will likely have to duck under the liftgate. There are a decent number of small-item storage spots, though the spaces themselves aren't generously sized. If you need even more cargo room, the Grand Wagoneer L has even more space for your gear and competes with the like-minded Lincoln Navigator L and Cadillac Escalade ESV.

The Grand Wagoneer also offers exceptional towing capability, with a max capacity of 10,000 pounds.

Jeep had good intentions here. The USB power ports are almost too numerous to count and there's a hidden wireless charging pad. But in our testing, we found that the charging pad doesn't securely hold a smartphone and would let the phone slip off, stopping the charge. The Grand Wagoneer does have wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is a plus.

The upgraded McIntosh sound system failed to impress too as we found it lacked volume when running some of our sample soundtracks. Despite our best efforts, we could not get the optional rear-seat entertainment system to work properly.

The Grand Wagoneer is priced like a full-size luxury SUV and has all the fixings of one. Although it's one of the nicest Jeeps we've driven, it can't quite match the execution of some competitors and doesn't feel worthy of its high price. Some wood trim looks cheap, numerous panels creak when pressed, and all the glossy, touch-sensitive surfaces are smudge-prone. Jeep has added standard equipment and lowered the price significantly recently, but that isn't enough to change our minds.

Jeep's warranties are unremarkable. Basic coverage is provided for three years/36,000 miles, and the drivetrain warranty is five years/60,000 miles.
