Jeep Grand Wagoneer

As the new luxury subbrand of the well-known Jeep lineup, two new models have been introduced. These don’t wear Jeep badging, but they do have the benefits of the Jeep brand’s remarkable engineering.

As a package, the Grand is more richly furnished. The amenities and technologies are more advanced from the moment a shopper steps from the Wagoneer trim levels to the Grand Wagoneer trim levels.

One of the most noticeable differences is the use of real wood in the Grand, but you can also touch the difference as you feel the more supple leathers. The unique leathers wear a vertical stitching pattern, further differentiating it from the horizontal pattern in the standard Wagoneer.

The 2022 Grand Wagoneer has a more powerful engine and standard four-wheel drive. Quadra Lift ensures the best possible ride height and ground clearance.

Seating 7, the cabin has 167 cubic feet of space. The standard captain’s chairs can be exchanged for bench seat at no cost on the base trim level. Two rows of air-cooled seats are offered or standard on every model.

Front seats are 24-way power-adjustable chairs with power ventilation. The front two rows benefit from four-zone automatic climate controls. Second row seats have more than 40 inches of legroom. Third row seats have 36 inches of legroom and a remarkable 39 inches of headroom. The 27.4-cubic foot cargo hold is one of the largest in its class. The total storage area is 116 cubes behind the front seats or 70 cubes behind the second row.

The 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer interior has a distinctive style with an uncompromising fit and finish. Nappa leathers are noticeably rich to both the eye and the touch. This supple quilted upholstery has accent stitching. Interior colors include a deep blue as well as more traditional sea-salt gray, a velvet black, and a handsome tan.

A laser-etched grille and U-shaped windows are among its unique exterior features. Deployable side steps and 20- or 22-inch distinctive alloys are additional features.

Surprising touches include the available safe. This touchpad-controlled feature can be added to the split front armrest.

As you would expect from a luxury ride, the 2022 Grand Cherokee driver has digitized instrumentation and a large infotainment touch screen. The front passenger has a co-pilot entertainment screen. It provides many functions to assist the driver and/or the second-row passengers.

The second row has a 10.25-inch display in the second-row console. It offers dual 10.1-inch screens. Amazon Fire TV for Auto is a class-leading aspect that is making its debut on the Grand Wagoneer line.

Stepping up to Series ii, the cabin style goes even more upscale. Palermo leather is standard. New tech toys include traffic sign recognition and a digital rearview mirror. Packages allow this trim level to gain full dash tech, safety tech, or luxury items.

Like the molten lavan for which it is named, the Obsidian trim level has black on black color schemes inside and out. The exterior has numerous black trim pieces, including the original wheels. The interior wears Onyx leather and further black accents to differentiate it from other trim levels. Standards include second-row ventilated seats and the larger McIntosh audio system.

The standard all-wheel drive provides advanced road capability with its Quadra-Trac I system. Shoppers can add Quadra-Trac II, gaining a two-speed transfer case for more aggressive action. The top trail model is Quadra-Drive II. It has a rear limited-slip differential

Ready for off-roading although not trail rated due to its length, the Grand Wagoneer wears skid plates and is waterproofed for up to 24 inches of water fording. It has a standard 8-inch suspension that can rise to 9 or 10 inches via Quadra-Lift. This air suspension also lets you lower the vehicle for easier entry.
