2025 Jeep Wagoneer L

The three-row Jeep Wagoneer L is a full-size SUV aimed directly at the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford Expedition Max. It's a foot longer overall than the regular non-L Wagoneer, which competes with the Tahoe and standard Expedition, and it's slightly less luxurious than the Grand Wagoneer L, which goes up against the Cadillac Escalade ESV and Lincoln Navigator L. (We review all Jeep derivatives separately.) As is typical for the class, there's more to the Wagoneer L than just its size. Even the base truck includes luxury features like heated and ventilated front seats and a considerable number of advanced driving aids.

The Wagoneer L has 7 more inches between its front and rear wheels than the standard-wheelbase Wagoneer, but unlike the templates for the class, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, there's no increase in passenger space between the Large and XL Jeeps. Headroom and legroom are the same in all three rows in the Wagoneer and L. The only difference is in cargo space. The Wagoneer has 27.4 cubic feet behind the third-row seat and a maximum of 116.7 cubes with the two back rows folded, whereas the L boasts 42.1 cubes behind the third row and a maximum of 130.9 cubic feet.

Toyota and Nissan don't make extended-wheelbase versions of their large SUVs, so shoppers looking for a direct rival to the Wagoneer L have only American brands to cross-shop. Without straying into full-luxe territory, there's the Suburban, its GMC Yukon XL corporate twin, and the Expedition Max. If you don't regularly max out people and cargo space simultaneously, the standard Wagoneer is a few grand cheaper, and by the time you're looking at a loaded Wagoneer L, it's a similarly small step up to the more luxurious Grand Wagoneer L.
