We lately reviewed the brand new 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and walked away totally impressed at what Jeep can do to run up towards the posh kings of body-on-frame SUVs. Whereas reviewing the Grand Wagoneer we knew that Jeep would unleash a long-wheelbase model of the car to compete with the Escalade ESV and Navigator L and so they have correctly accomplished justice with an “L” model that provides 12 inches general and about 7 inches to the wheelbase.
America loves their massive SUVs, and so they very effectively might be the final to transform to electrification quickly. Nonetheless, till then, the brand new Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L take a brand new method with the powertrain alternative getting the all-new Hurricane engine, a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six-cylinder paired with an 8-speed computerized transmission. The brand new Hurricane engine has two variations with the one within the Wagoneer L being the standard-output (S.O) making 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. The high-output (H.O) model of the engine within the Grand Wagoneer L touts 510 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
Each “L” variations can tow as much as 10,000 kilos and have barely higher gas economic system numbers than the 5.7-liter V8 and the 6.4-liter V8 within the regular wheelbase Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, respectfully. We’re speaking in regards to the S.O. Hurricane engine-equipped Wagoneer L rated at 19 mpg mixed and the H.O. Grand Wagoneer L having 16 mpg mixed. That’s about 1 mpg higher general.
There’s about 200 extra kilos to hold round within the L variations over the traditional wheelbase Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Additionally, the L variations get a bigger gas tank, a further 4 gallons.
The place the long-wheelbase issues most is within the space of cargo room. The brand new L variations each get an additional 17 cubic toes of house behind the third row totaling 42 cubic toes, after which it may well open to as a lot as 131 cubic toes with the second and third-row seats folded.
A brand new black-out Carbide look bundle is accessible for the brand new 2023 mannequin 12 months L variant and turns into out there for the 2022 normal-wheelbase Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer this spring.
Jeep hasn’t introduced pricing however has mentioned the 2023 Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L will go on sale within the second half of this 12 months.
