Jeep grows Wagoneer 12 inches with long WB version to size of a Suburban



(April 16, 2022) AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Wagoneer, the premium extension of the Jeep brand, continues to grow. A new extended, long-wheelbase 2023 Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L, along with the new 2023 Wagoneer L Carbide and the all-new Hurricane twin-turbo engine family were introduced last week at the New York International Auto Show.


“The all-new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are off to a great start, and we’re always striving to give customers even more of what they want,” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America.

“The new Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L long-wheelbase models give our customers more: a more efficient and more powerful powertrain with the all-new Hurricane twin-turbo engines, and even more space, delivering best-in-class overall passenger volume, second-row legroom and cargo volume behind the third row, all while maintaining best-in-class towing capability of 10,000 pounds and a rewarding driving experience that is confidence-inspiring.”

The new 2023 Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L are 12 inches longer overall (226.7 inches) than the standard-wheelbase models — an inch longer than the 2022 Chevy Suburban.  Featuring a 130-inch wheelbase (+7 inches compared to standard wheelbase) and up to 44.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row (+15.8 cubic feet compared to standard wheelbase), the 2023 Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L are designed and engineered to provide unmatched comfort for up to eight passengers and ample cargo room for oversized gear, all while delivering the award-winning attributes of the standard-wheelbase versions, including legendary capability from three available 4x4 systems, exceptional driving dynamics, best-in-class towing capability of up to 10,000 pounds and advanced safety and technology.

Jeep says the extended L models give Wagoneer customers more of what they want:

    •    Best-in-class overall passenger volume of 179.3 cu. ft. on Wagoneer L
    •    Best-in-class second-row legroom of 42.7 inches on Wagoneer L
    •    Spacious third-row legroom of 36.6 inches on all models
    •    Best-in-class 44.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row on Grand Wagoneer L – 15.8 cubic feet more of cargo volume than on standard-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer
    •    All this while offering 7- or 8-passenger configurations
    •    Best-in-class towing capacity on both models, with Wagoneer L towing up to 10,000 pounds


New family of Hurricane engines deliver more horsepower and torque with lower emissions

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one part of Stellantis’ commitment to cut its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 and to lead the transportation industry by achieving Net Carbon Zero by 2038. Those goals are key elements of the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan.

The all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine family delivers more horsepower, more torque and less emissions than many competitors’ naturally aspirated V-8 and boosted six-cylinder engines.

The Hurricane twin-turbo engine achieves its V-8-rivaling performance while being up to 15% more efficient than larger engines.

Wagoneer L lineup:

    •    Wagoneer L features the Hurricane twin-turbo engine, which produces 420 horsepower and 468 lb.-ft. of torque
    •    Grand Wagoneer L sports the new high-output Hurricane twin-turbo 510, which delivers 510 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque
    •    Both engines return an estimated one to two miles per gallon (mpg) combined-rating improvement compared with the existing V-8 engines
    •    For the 2022 model year, a special run of Hurricane twin-turbo 510 will be available on Grand Wagoneer, with ordering now available at dealers

A standard, robust TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission optimizes engine output with smooth gear changes and provides efficient power delivery at highway speeds.
