Jeep took the proverbial full-size SUV ball from the rest of the market and ran home with it in 2022. The new Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models came to take as much market share as possible in the full-size SUV and luxury full-size SUV segments. Strangely, these two models are the same size, which makes us wonder what the differences are between these two big Jeep SUVs.

What are the main differences between the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer?

Some of the main differences we’ll cover for these two full-size SUVs are:

• Design
• Interior Screens
• Performance
• Audio Systems
• Comfort and Seating

After many years without any three-row SUVs in the market, Jeep added three for the 2022 model year. Among them are the Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Grand Cherokee L. In this conversation, we only discuss the full-size SUV models and their differences.

What are the design differences between these two Jeep SUVs?

The Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are the same size, but they have some styling differences. As Car and Driver shows, the Grand Wagoneer is more opulent with a bolder design theme. When looking at this SUV, you’ll see:

• A bolder grille design
• Chrome trim around the windows
• A black-painted roof
• Copper-colored tinted windows
• Premium LED lighting that does a welcome dance when the remote start is activated

The Jeep Wagoneer doesn’t have any of these elements.

Check out the screen acreage in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer

Do you want a full-size luxury SUV with 75 inches of screen area? If so, you’ll want to drive the Grand Wagoneer. This Series III trim offers maximum screen size for the tech-rich ride desired. There are seven screens in this SUV which include:

• Driver’s digital gauge cluster
• Center infotainment system
• Passenger infotainment screen
• Two rear screens for entertainment
• Two rear screens for comfort and seat adjustment

You’ll find several screens in the Jeep Wagoneer, but when you want to see digital screen controls throughout the cabin, the Grand Wagoneer has what you desire.

Do these two full-size Jeep SUVs have the same powertrain?

No, they don’t. A 5.7-liter V8 engine with the e-Torque 48-volt mild-hybrid system powers the Jeep Wagoneer. This big SUV delivers 392 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to 10,000 pounds.

Turning to the Grand Wagoneer, we see a full-size luxury SUV powered by the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine that generates 471 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. The tow rating for the Grand Wagoneer is a little under 10,000 pounds, even though this model is the more powerful of these two full-size Jeep SUVs.

Audiophiles love the sound system in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer

Jeep went all-in for the sound quality and experience in the Grand Wagoneer. This SUV includes a McIntosh 23-speaker/950-watt audio system. This package bathes you in amazing sound quality while also showcasing the receiver status on the infotainment system.

The audio system in the Jeep Wagoneer is no slouch. The standard system is an Alpine 9-speaker system, which sounds great. If you want more speakers and better sound quality, a McIntosh 19-speaker audio system is available for the Wagoneer.

Which full-size Jeep SUV offers more comfort in the cabin?

The Jeep Wagoneer includes a three-zone climate control system and a set of 12-way power front seats. For this full-size SUV, second-row captain’s chairs are optional. You’ll find Nappa leather upholstery in this full-size SUV.

As expected, the Grand Wagoneer takes things further. This full-size luxury SUV includes a four-zone climate control system with touchscreen controls in the first two rows. The front seats offer a 24-way power adjustment function, and second-row captain’s chairs are standard. You’ll see Palermo leather covering the seats in the Grand Wagoneer.
