History/Overview
Jeep has revived the Wagoneer nameplate this year for a brand-new full-size SUV that becomes its first three-row vehicle in more than a decade. The brand’s last vehicle with a third row of seats was the poorly received Commander, which posted lackluster sales before its 2010 departure.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer is an all-new model; it arrives alongside a more luxurious Grand Wagoneer, which is covered in a separate buyer’s guide entry.
Available Trims
Jeep offers the Wagoneer in Series II and Series III trim levels (there is no Series I). Both are powered by a 5.7L V8 engine with eTorque mild hybrid assist. An eight-speed transmission and 4WD are included.
Standard Features
Series II models come with a rear load-leveling suspension, auto on/off LED headlights, LED taillights, 20-inch wheels, a hands-free tailgate, heated side mirrors with driver’s side auto dimming, passive keyless entry, and wireless phone charging.
Inside, there’s three-zone A/C, heated/ventilated front seats, 12-way power front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a heated steering wheel, leather upholstery, power-adjustable pedals and steering column, a 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation, and a digital gauge cluster.
Standard safety kit includes blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, cornering LED fog lights, active lane management, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic braking, front and rear park assist, and rain-sensing wipers.
Series III adds an adaptive damping suspension, automatic high beams, and ventilated second-row seats.
Key Options
Series II options include a premium group of 22-inch wheels, roof rail crossbars, reversible cargo mat, a three-panel sunroof, and a cargo shade.
A Series III premium group brings luxury floor mats, a 19-speaker McIntosh stereo, power running boards, and a sunroof.
Both trims can be optioned with a convenience group (adaptive air suspension, automatic high beams, head-up display, intersection collision assist, park assist, heated second-row seats and sun shades, side distance warning, surround-view cameras, and traffic sign recognition); and an all-terrain group (all-terrain tires, adaptive air suspension, upgraded 4WD, electronic limited slip rear differential, skid plates, and off-road speed control).
Fuel Economy
Jeep’s fuel consumption estimates are 15.6/11.7 L/100 km (city/highway).
Competition
With the Wagoneer, Jeep jumps into view of shoppers considering full-size SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada, and Toyota Sequoia.
