The all-new 2022 Grand Wagoneer has been named Luxury Utility Vehicle of the Year by AutoGuide.com, only the latest expert accolade for the reborn premium icon.
“Our judges gave the Grand Wagoneer high marks across the board, more consistently than any other finalist,” said Mike Schlee, managing editor – AutoGuide.com. “The Grand Wagoneer is all-American luxury writ large, with acres of smooth Palermo leather covering nearly every surface. Those that aren’t are either tasteful chrome or gorgeous open-pore wood. If your tastes lean more techy, Jeep® will fit up to seven high-definition screens inside the Grand Wagoneer. A 23-speaker McIntosh sound system offers up studio-level audio quality. Uconnect 5 remains one of the best touchscreen interfaces on the market, crisp and clean and brimming with customization options. The reborn GW isn’t just about creature comforts, either. An available night vision display keeps you and yours safe on pitch-black back roads.”
Said editor Kyle Patrick, “The Grand Wagoneer is such a pleasant space to spend time. It’s all too easy to imagine driving across the continent in it, with only the hushed woofle of the V-8 up ahead. Erase all doubts: Jeep can build a true large luxury SUV to take on the world’s very best.”
Wagoneer returns as a premium extension of the Jeep brand while continuing its legacy as the original premium SUV. Three available 4×4 systems bring legendary capability, while the body-on-frame structure contributes to best-in-class towing capability of up to 10,000 lbs. As the pinnacle of premium SUVs, Grand Wagoneer brings a cabin created with a modern American style, meticulously crafted details, elegant appointments and leading-edge technology. Grand Wagoneer is designed for the ever-growing North American family with best-in-class overall passenger volume, total volume, best-in-class third-row headroom, and second- and third-row legroom with the most cargo volume behind the third row.
“Expert validations, such as this Luxury Utility Vehicle of the Year award from AutoGuide.com, are further proof of Grand Wagoneer’s world-class character,” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “Since its rebirth one year ago, Wagoneer has attracted new customers, thanks to its suite of unmatched refinements, technology, comfort and safety executed at the highest levels.”
