2023 Grand Wagoneer Series III | The New Benchmark in Luxury
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2023
- It’s been a while since I’ve been this impressed with one of my test drives. We just put over 800 miles on this top-of-the-line Grand Wagoneer Series III Obsidian covering long stretches of highway and rural road driving and I haven’t anything but admiration for what Jeep has accomplished here. And this new Hurricane engine will have you asking who needs a HEMI? This is the perfect embodiment of the large, luxury SUV.
MSRP as-tesed: $116,530

Gotta admit, I’ve loved that Grand Wagoneer since its inception - definitely a welcomed & formidable option in its segment; a clear homerun! Went to check one out and was impressed; every single time I see one, I stare b’c it’s so sharp. 🔥 I rented a Suburban and filled it to the brim to take my daughter to college last month so I empathize … best wishes to your baby girl on her collegiate endeavors.
Proud Dad moment FTW!!! Congratulations on your kiddo moving onto the next chapter (good job Mom and Dad:) Oh, and I guess the Jeep is pretty nice too... LOL!!!
Yes! Thank you!
Great review as always - but holy crap, Maddie's going to college?! I am getting old!!
it’s amazing how quickly 18 years went by
Always a great review on anything you do Steve !
I appreciate that!
My neighbor with a young family of 3 children really seems to like this Grand Wagoneer. Good looking SUV.
Great review as always, Steve 👌🏾😎
Thanks 👍
I'm waiting to buy a used GW Obsidian but from the comments on the Jeep forums these vehicles have a lot of electrical issues. But overall I'd take a GW over an Escalade in a heart beat🔥🔥
My parents just bought the same one it’s just white it’s so nice
I like this car interior design. Iam enjoying my Grand Wagoneer. Hate premium gas and extra internet device lol
I don’t think that’s a V6 Steve! 01:03 straight 6!
If I said that I corrected myself later on 🤣
Great job!
Thanks!
Ist year college!!! Wow time waits for no one, my son just turned 6 am I'm like what just happened lol
Congrats 👏
Thanks! It’s true what they say - it goes by so quickly.
Not tryna critique your outstanding work but you made a slight error when you said that it has a twin-turbo V6... But it's actually an inline-6 with the double turbos and 510hp, with the top tier regular Wagoneer's packing that same engine but with a little less overall horsepower and torque. Please keep up the amazing job with your reviews and continue delivering the best.
My mistake! Thank you.
It's still a twin turbo
@ytwizzle yes granted it is however with a different cylinder layout.
Great review Steve!
I was so sold on this and it made me go back to your Denali Ultimate video which you Badly wanted...remember? 😅. Well, phew it's a tough choice at this point. The nitpick were obviously annoying at this price point. One would have thought these are no brainers; but here we are. But this is a significant improvement from the V8 though. The lack of a self driving technology in 2023 on your highest trim will be downer for this price point and lagging infotainment?! Great competitor though. Chrysler/Stelantis....no comments.
Ha!! So true. Thanks.
Want mine in black with that beautiful tan interior.
I'm impressed with how big it is, how ugly it is, how luxurious it is, and how expensive it is
Remember, the Grand Wagoneer compares to Cadillac Escalade, BMW X7, Mercedes GLS, Range Rover, Infiniti QX80 and Lincoln Navigator.
Ugly? Is the best American big suv alongside with the Escalade in my opinion, and personally I love the design
😂😂😂
Please tell me the infotainment is available with a dark mode. Those screens like very bright and harsh. Even if so, dark mode should be the default like with UConnect.
Audi copycat. Would probably be reflect better in black interior.
Yes, the screen background is available in regular mode. I was able to find that in the smaller brother Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The screen background can be changed by going into Settings.
Yes there is and auto mode is available as well
@@ytwizzle Yep.
Hmm, interesting. It's not available in Aus, but it got me wondering about the new JGC. I just discovered it goes up to AUD$143,000! Which is absurd, imo.
That is nuts!!!
Power to me actually feels much better than even the HEMI… My guess is some moles infiltrated the BMW engine department and kind of figured out how to make a TT six cylinder that provides power, fuel economy and keeps both emissions and noise down. Doesn’t feel like the engine is straining even with a vehicle north of 6000 lbs. As much as I like Tahoe/Yukon, they are way late to the game in the heavy vehicle gas engine Turbo six cylinder market. I am very impressed with the Hurricane TT six. I have had Fords Ecoboost V6 and I seriously think the difference is the inline layout and more of a centerline balance makes the difference. I will evaluate real world highway MPG soon!
Nice and all that but they are not selling. These and dodge ram 1500 and 2500 all sitting over priced and are not selling keep an eye out for cut in prices. Find how many day supplies for these cars in your area and maybe get a discount. Doge has like 400 days worth of pick up on the market today.
Glad you didn’t get a Mini the week Maddie had to go!
That was very fortunate 🤣
That really high praise for a really expensive Stellantis vehicle. I wonder how the reliability will be.
Time will tell.
I wouldn't trust it for the long haul either.
You said T.T v6 and in-line 6, so which is it Steve?
inline
Did I?? It’s an inline. My bad.
@@stevehammes , you are John Davis (from motor week) of our times. 👍🏾👍🏾
I think he meant H.O (High Output)/
Looks like a good car to lease but I can't imagine trusting Jeep to make a car with this much complexity that lasts.
So just buy it without the complexity 🤷🏿♂️ that’s what I’m gonna do.
Inline 6
FTW!
People, it's a Jeep! No one is paying $115,000 for a Jeep!!!
Shiddd this is worth it I’ll do 100k flat lol
Two Grand Wagoneers you’ve tested, but no regular Wagoneer… go figure…
I know. Don’t even think those are in the fleet.
The interior is SO BAD. Glossy, cheap, plastic everything.
Also: you're wrong about the tailgate button--- it's better to have it low and inside (for shorter people -- that's why Stellantis does it).
Actually, I think you’re wrong about everything you just said.
This car has been a disaster for Jeep. Dont know what planet this guy is on.
The one where you have no idea what you are talking about? 🤷🏼♂️
It's ugly
19 mpg.. not to shabby lol
You yanks crack me up like thats a good number😂😂
For a 510hp large SUV?
Physics… it’s probably impossible with our current ICE technology to go beyond a 20mpg average on a vehicle this size, while still making it bearable to drive. With diesel you’d probably gain 10 to 15% but not that much more. So yeah, not too shabby indeed.
