The Jeep Wagoneer is a disruptor, entering the 3 row SUV marketplace and quickly becoming a winner. Does that mean you should choose the 2024 Wagoneer over the 2024 Chevy Tahoe? Let’s take a look.

Incredible Cockpit

The 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe has a nice driver’s cockpit, and Chevy adds to it as you climb the trim ladder. However, the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer starts out at such a high level that it takes the Tahoe awhile to catch up, if it even can. 

The Jeep cockpit features a 10.1-inch touchscreen, built-in Alexa, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 3-year Wagoneer Connect package. Behind the steering wheel, there’s a 10.25 cluster display with customizable functions. 

 Naturally the Wagoneer has dual power chairs for the driver and front passenger. Drivers enjoy a memory function, another coveted standard.

 A standard Wagoneer feature, the power tilt-telescoping steering column is a must-have in a big rig. It helps every driver find a better perch, and it makes it easy to adjust whenever you need to. Another standard, the new Jeep Wagoneer has power-adjustable pedals that also have a memory function. Without a doubt, the Wagoneer driver can find a level of comfort that the Tahoe driver can't.



Luxury On the Go

As you move beyond the cockpit, the Wagoneer cabin offers much more than you’ll find on the Chevy Tahoe. Best of all for Phoenix AZ drivers, the Wagoneer has standard ventilated front seats. This must-have Arizona feature will cost you much, much more on the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe. 

Every single Wagoneer wears leather, whether it’s the entry-level Capri or higher trim Nappa leather. The steering wheel is wrapped in TechnoLeather, and Jeep doors wear a wizard-black trim applique. Parents will appreciate the standard observation mirror and new rear-seat reminder alerts. The standard 3-zone automatic temperature controls allow parents to help the kids stay cool on the 2nd and 3rd rows.  

Ride quality is unsurpassed on the Wagoneer. It has a standard rear load-leveling suspension. Another standard, an active noise control system keeps the ride quiet for parents and kids to be able to talk together. That's a ride quality you just won't find in the Chevy Tahoe.

Performance

The 2024 Chevy Tahoe offers three engine choices. For starters, a thirsty 5.3-liter V8 produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. The second powertrain is a much better 6.2-liter V8 that produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. This thirsty engine benefits from a stop-start system. A third choice is the diesel. It produces a low 305 horsepower, but it makes up for it with 495 lb-ft of torque. 

Jeep has equipped the Wagoneer with a remarkable engine even at entry level. It generates 420 horses and 468 lb-ft of torque. This twin-turbo Inline-Six engine is a dream for driving enthusiasts.  

The two-wheel drive models have an exclusive Tac-Lock Anti-spin rear differential. Plus only the Wagoneer can be equipped with the unbeatable four-wheel drive systems from Jeep.  

Quality Guaranteed

While Wagoneer is a new brand, it has lost no time in securing major awards in its segment. For instance, it has earned best in ALG Residual Value from JD Power for 2024. This shows it ahead of its whole class of Large SUVS, including the Tahoe, for the second year in a row.

Is it ready for kid duty? The Jeep Wagoneer took home the 2024 PARENTS Best Family Cars Award in its class. That’s reassurance to any parent on the lookout for the best 3 row SUV for their family.  

What about style? The Jeep Wagoneer L earned a 2023 Wards 10 Best Interiors and User Expedience Award.  

Wagoneer vs Tahoe Prices

To bring the Tahoe up to the same level of amenities found on the standard Wagoneer, you’ll have to step up to the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier. This trim level starts at $74,595. That’s how you get ventilated seats, power-adjustable steering wheels, power-adjustable pedals, and other goodies already STANDARD on the Wagoneer.

 This makes the Jeep Wagoneer price quite a bargain. Wagoneer prices start at $62,945 MSRP. That’s not much more than the bare-bones Tahoe LS price which lists at $61,195.

Conclusion

 When it comes down to it, the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer is a more luxurious choice for less when compared to the 2024 Chevy Tahoe.
