Jeep Wagoneer (WS)

Start with what the Jeep Wagoneer (WS) is: a car with Petrol engine, built from 2021, in the decade the industry is turning electric. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Ralph Gilles.

The background

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a full-size SUV produced by the Jeep division of Stellantis North America. Originally launched in March 2021 under two sub-models; the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, they were initially branded as "Wagoneer by Jeep" without the Jeep badge on vehicles and were described as a "premium extension" of the Jeep brand in marketing copy. The Wagoneer served as the affordable mainstream model, while the Grand Wagoneer was the luxury version.

Both were available in short wheelbase and long wheelbase "L" configurations. Production of the 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer commenced in the first half of 2021 at Warren Truck Assembly. Due to customer confusion, the Wagoneer line was absorbed into Grand Wagoneer line in 2026.

The engineering

The engine is Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 5,960 –. Drive goes through a 8-speed ZF 8HP75 automatic. The wheelbase is 123.0 in / 130.0 in (L). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

In the Jeep line-up the Jeep Wagoneer (WS) has a clear place: it replaced the Jeep Wagoneer (SJ); the factory was Warren, Michigan (Warren Truck Assembly), United States. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Kia EV6, the Tesla Model Y, the Nissan Z. Its Jeep stablemates include the Jeep Wrangler (JK) and the Jeep Wrangler (TJ).

Owning one today

Buying one now means $43,400–$80,400 for a typical example, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,515–$5,160 a year. Insurance sits around $1,790–$2,780 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
