2022 Grand Wagoneer Review
WAGONEER has something special coming your way and at Friendly Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (DCJR), we’re very excited about it. The re-release of the incredibly iconic Grand Wagoneer is upon us, adding more style, power, and versatility to the WAGONEER family of vehicles.
Introducing the 2022 Grand Wagoneer! Drivers in Hamilton, Madison, and Smyrna, NY, can read on to get a comprehensive review of this model and what it can provide you on the road.
Built To Test the Limits
The Grand Wagoneer made its first appearance in 1984, captivating drivers with its hefty performance and all-terrain capability. Those feelings are about to sweep the masses once again, with some seriously impressive engineering.
Like the rest of the WAGONEER family, you can expect the Grand Wagoneer to take on and conquer most off-roading situations. This begins with its well-known 4×4 system, allowing you to break through boundaries and explore the unknown.
This is only enhanced by the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System. With five drive modes, you can customize your treks both on and off the road. Add the available Advanced All-Terrain Group and the Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension with semi-active damping for an incredible 4×4 performance.
This performance stems from the 6.4L V8 engine that delivers 470 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. This is what keeps your vehicle powering through a variety of conditions and able to handle any task at hand.
A Modern Oasis of a Cabin
Inside the Grand Wagoneer, you’ll find amenities aplenty, all of which focus on making driving easier, cozier, and more entertaining.
The first thing you’ll notice when you take your spot at the helm is the unique style. The interior of the Grand Wagoneer was influenced by America—the stunning landscapes as well as its industrious spirit. From the diamond silver-tipped piping that lines the seats and insert panels creating a perforated pattern to the heat-treated blackened lacewood edging and dual-texture metal framing, you’ll be surrounded by impeccable design.
For comfort, you can take full advantage of the 24-way power adjustable front seats with massage. They will allow you to feel relaxed and comfortable as you navigate your daily drive or take on adventure. There is also the 4-Zone Automatic Climate Control, which allows you and your passengers to set individual temperatures and each customize your comfort. This will certainly leave everyone happy throughout the journey.
Looking for a new point of view inside? With the Tri-Pane Panoramic Sunroof, you can see what Mother Nature intended you to see. Whether the sun is shining through or the stars are twinkling above, your passengers will find it hard not to look up.
These features are further complemented by the suite of innovative technologies inside. With these next-gen systems at your fingertips, you may not want to leave your cabin:
- 12.3-inch Driver Digital Instrument Cluster
- 12-inch center touchscreen
- Available Rear Seat Entertainment System, with two 10.1-inch displays
- Available 10.25-inch front-passenger interactive display
- Available McIntosh® Reference Entertainment System
The Grand Wagoneer provides you with a Driver Information Digital Cluster and Next-Gen Uconnect® 5 System with a 12-inch touchscreen to access all of the information and features you need to always be in command. Whether you want to access navigation to reach your next adventure or simply provide more entertainment through the Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities, you can do so.
Even your passengers can be a part of the entertainment. The available Class-Exclusive Passenger Interactive Display makes for a great command center for your co-pilot or a way for the front passenger to enjoy their own entertainment. Rear passengers also can be entertained with the available Rear Seat Entertainment System with dual 10.1-inch displays. This feature includes Amazon Fire TV to allow you to enjoy your favorite movies and shows on the go.
The McIntosh® Entertainment System uses 23 finely tuned and finely placed speakers to deliver a premium sound quality. With an immersive 1,375 watts of power, enjoy an unparalleled listening experience in your Jeep SUV.
2022 Grand Wagoneer: An Open and Spacious Interior
If you plan to transport your entire family, you’ll want to have enough space to fit everyone and everything comfortably. Well, the 2022 Grand Wagoneer has you covered.
The Grand Wagoneer offers 179 cubic feet of passenger volume—plenty of space to fit eight passengers comfortably and safely. Front passengers will enjoy 41.3 inches of headroom and 40.9 inches of legroom. Rear passengers will appreciate 40 inches of headroom and 42.7 inches of legroom. Third-row passengers will have 39 inches of headroom and 36.6 inches of legroom to stretch out in.
These dimensions will allow everyone to spread out and have their own personal space to sit back and relax in during the journey.
There is also no shortage of cargo volume. With all of the seating upright, you can enjoy 27.4 cubic feet of cargo space—plenty of room to load groceries, luggage, and smaller equipment as needed. However, you can take this to the next level and maximize your space at 94.2 cubic feet by folding down the seating. This will allow you to fit larger equipment and the items you need for everything from outdoor adventures to a long road trip.
2022 Grand Wagoneer: Safety on All Sides
Your safety behind the wheel should be top of mind—and it is for the Grand Wagoneer. This SUV has the backing of over 120 standard and available safety and security features! It constantly adjusts to meet driving conditions of the road, with calculations made every second—hundreds of thousands of them!
Driving at night? Add depth to your perception, with the available Night Vision Camera with Pedestrian and Animal Detection. It uses thermal imaging to help detect objects, animals, and pedestrians in the dark, while you travel at road speeds. Think of it as your own personal Bigfoot Crew—though we doubt it will detect any Sasquatches any time soon!
The Active Lane Management system will help establish your position on the road. If you start to drift outside your lane markings without using a turn signal, this system will offer subtle steering wheel input to help correct the problem. As always, the feature works best when you’re at your most attentive.
Does your commute take place mostly on busy city streets? Approach them with confidence when you add these available features to your Grand Wagoneer:
· Intersection Collision Assist system
· Traffic Sign Recognition
These features look out for you and your safety while behind the wheel, while also making sure that those around you are safe.
The Grand Wagoneer also helps to make sure you stay alert and focused on the road. The available Drowsy Driver Detection system notices any disruptions in your driving pattern and can detect fatigue and microsleep. It will then provide an alert based on your energy level, allowing you to know when you may need to stop driving for the night and get some rest.
Parking is also made easier, with the help of the ParkSense® Automated Parking System. With the push of a button, this system can automatically help you park your vehicle by engaging the gears, the throttle, and the brakes.
Drive safer and help protect the people inside and outside your vehicle, with the Grand Wagoneer’s available safety systems.
How Much Can the Grand Wagoneer Tow?
When properly equipped, the all-new 2022 Grand Wagoneer can tow a maximum of 9,850 pounds. With a maximum towing capacity like that, hardly anything is off limits! Hitch up the family boat for a trip to the Finger Lakes or a camper trailer for a weekend—or more—getaway at a remote campground.
Feel confident when you reverse with a trailer in tow. The Grand Wagoneer offers available integrated trailer brakes, which activate when the brake pedal in your SUV is pressed. Expect more control over your trailer when you need to bring everything to a stop.
Also offered in the Grand Wagoneer is the Surround-View Camera System. With trailer-hitch zoom and line-up assist, you’ll be able see everything you need to see—and keep your path aligned—when it’s time to reverse with that trailer in tow.
