The 2022-2023 Grand Wagoneer Is Peak "Jeep" Even Though They Don't Always Call It A Jeep... 

I love how we've been duped to perceive luxury as tech that's dated by the time the vehicle releases rather than comfort, build quality and reliability. We'll pay 10K more for ambient lights, buttons that don't press (which makes no sense when driving) and tech that's not reliable.

Sooooo, who buys these? The same people that have a 14 bedroom house when there are 4 people living in it ?

Hi Alex, love your channel, would put you on #1 youtube car reviewer. Just a minor suggestion, you talk about seats comfort, you typically cover driver seat, second row and third row seats including those middle seats in second and third row, which are very thorough. It might be more helpful if you can also actually sit and talk about front passenger seat comfort with your camera on. The reason I bring this up is, when I was testing this vehicle the other day, I found the front passenger seat is very uncomfortable. That is all due to the limited floor space for your left foot. I cannot find a good place to rest my left foot when I was sitting on front passenger seat. I never had this issue with other vehicles I tested. I know my suggestion may mean you have move the camera to the other side of the vehicle and results in some inconvenience, but I think front passenger seat comfort is equally important as any seats of the second row.

Alex.. Thank you for another great review. I am sure that I am not alone in only watching the videos that you host who feel that your: employee, cohost, friend is simply unwatchable. Take care!

Alex, great video- I appreciate your insight for us parents regarding child seats!

I like the illustration you use to demo the info’s and pros and cons. Thanks

Don’t mind the glass not opening separately from the hatch in the rear. Seeing how tall it is, and how high the bottom of the glass line is from the ground, it’s hard to see someone average height trying to put large groceries through the glass hatch easily.

Nice review and video like 👍 how you go into detail 👌

Excellent! Especially the graphics at the end.

I've been waiting for Stellantis to do a full-size SUV for the entire time I've been driving. I think the Grand Wagoneer fits just right into my ideal 2-car garage.

Appreciate FORK demo!!!

Great details. Thank you.

I'm guessing when the 4xe version comes out, the electric motors will be paired with the twin turbo straight 6 engine

I'm looking forward to your take on the inline 6. I've been looking for updates on when somebody will get their hands on it, thanks for the update that it will be "soon".

Thank you for this.....great Job

Btw, Lincoln Navigator 2018-2022 allows for child seats to remain in place as second row tilts.

Liking the new graphics, Alex :) Would have loved to see the Lexus LX in the "Competitive Pricing" chart.

Man I love this thing. I want the one with map of Detroit on the sunroof. I like Suv’s. I want this in an EV, though. In my opinion I love Denali more but I grew up on Jeep.

Alex let me tell you I'm so glad to see this video people say that's controversial those volley colored painted pillars I love those three pillars it is so distinct it looks different than anything out there on the road that's what makes it so unique is the same reason why I love the Nissan Armada because of the rear bumper and a way that that that the rear glass slopes up into the D pillar absolutely beautiful it's different than what General Motors does is different than what Ford does and that's why the wagoneers so unique

Btw, I have fit 4 full sized roller bags in the rear most cargo area with the third row up in my 2018 Lincoln Navigator.

Good job Alex ❤️👏👏👏

Does toggling on the allow pass permissions not enable more features for that screen i.e. CarPlay?

Just saw this car outside of Costco and I was extremely impressed

Ford Expedition also has this option - childseat friendly tilt if I remember correctly:) I hope so and waiting for E Expedition or PVEV Expedition in EU - I am a dreamer:)

I sat in this last week at the Detroit autoshow and I still don't see where its worth what they're asking. The door close sound alone was a turn off.

Of all the big three row SUVs this is the weirdest looking one LOL

I really didn’t even notice the painted pillars till you mentioned it. Without the roof being painted as well no it does not look good.

Cool information 😎 Can you compare wagoner and grand Cherokee L?

My mom and dad own one and they love it and I love the HEMI V8 it’s got!!!!

As always great and very informative video Alex but now I'm conflicted because I have to decide between the Grand Wagoneer lwb and the Hyundai Kona 🤔.

Saw an older GM SUV today. Pillars matched. The roof was the same color so it didn’t look “off.”

Anyone else find it kinda crazy how much power they’re getting out of the HO 3.0 Hurricane engine? Usually SUVs get a bit derated for their use case but this engine makes the same power as the venerable BMW M Divisions inline 6 of the same displacement (and more torque to boot).

My suggestion to any potential buyer, try to sit on the front passenger seat of this vehicle. See and feel yourself if your left foot can find a good place to rest. I found the floor space is very limited for your left foot to rest considering the size of the vehicle. Otherwise, this is a great vehicle.

I’m surprised by how many I have seen by me seems to be really popular! Can’t believe so many ppl near me buying $100k+ Jeeps

After you mentioned the fork, I can't unsee it.

The interior looks nice but the exterior is hideous, especially the side profile. I love the look of GM’s triplets and the Navigator looks nice too

Love the entire vehicle and also love the body colored pillars. I think it gives it a great character and uniqueness

Alex, was that fork in the armrest a subliminal message to the pillars reminding you of fork tines?🤣🤣

Xcelent review.

The silver and black exterior paint appears to be the best color combination for the Grand Wagoneer, but NOT with the blacked-out chrome and wheels.

Good thing Jeeps are known for reliability!

Btw, Lincoln Navigator invented having adults sized third row seating and it's still class leading.

Now I can't "unsee" the fork!! LMAO!!!

Over 100k for a Chrysler product!? They are kidding themselves. This thing is CLEARLY meant to subsidize savings on other vehicles. I honestly wonder if people knew how and why things are priced the way they are, would they still buy the same products.

Looks are subjective but this essentially has the exterior profile of an armored cash truck! I like the interior design and layout. Fuel economy is abysmal, burning through $3-5 dollars' worth of gas every 16 miles is basically a middle finger to the environment in this day and age. Value for money? There's been a lot of reported initial quality issues with this on forums, mainly connectivity and electrical glitches. It's big, comfy and capable but personally I think the exterior could look a lot better from the side and rear, it drinks fuel, quality is a concern and it's pricey!

I recognize that light colors make the body-color pillars really stand out. In darker colors, though, I think it would be more acceptable. And were they not body color, what should they be? Shiny black? Chrome? I don't think there are any good choices.

I think I’d wait for the PHEV version.

Hey Alex, do you know if the standard Hurricane will require premium fuel? Also, where are the AC vents for the third row? I dont see any in ceiling or on pillars

The third row in this car is somewhat bigger then my 2nd row lmao Beautiful car

Love this

I think having the pillars painted to match the roof would slim down that boxy body style.

Definitely the Cadillac. The styling and interior design are much better.

It's really annoying that they removed the gas option on limiteds. I almost thought about trading my 2500 limited for a 3500 limited since I could benefit from more payload for my farm sometimes but I don't tow anything requiring more than 17k lbs so I don't need nor want a diesel.

i wish they would try cylinder deactivation 8 to 6, i had 25mpg hwy with Ram v6 and it could hold the 6 mode on interstate much longer in eco mode keeping speed

You have it slightly wrong. Jeep Wagoneer is Ford Expedition and Chevy Tahoe competition. Jeep Wagoneer L is Ford Expedition Max and Chevy Suburban competition. Grand Wagoneer is Navigator and Escalade competition. Grand Wagoneer L is Navigator L and Escalade ESV competition. That’s how they pretty much align.

Alex, Is there any chance that Grand Wagoneer L will be the market's first 4 row SUV? 😉

GO JEEP! BIGGER IS BETTER! Only problem I have is the lack of a front bumper.

I would love one of these if it were not an FCA product. Or Stellaris. Or whatever. It's all sub-par quality regardless.

Having watched this review and seeing them in person, I honestly would pick the Navigator or GM twins over any FCA product. I know one person had to lemon out their Wagoneer already due to electrical issues that could never be resolved…after only 4 months. They were only able to use it for two weeks. Call it whatever name it is now, but the Stellantis group still has a ways to go to be considered part of the luxury group in my opinion. It’s lipstick on a big pig that suffers from electrical gremlins and the same issues that has plagued the group for a long time.

also called the Church Bus yo!

THE BODY COLOR PILLARS MAKE THE WAGONEER LOOK MORE "VAULT LIKE" WHICH HELPS BRING IT UP MARKET. BLACKED OUT PILLARS AND ROCKER PANELS MAKE A VEHICLE LOOK LONGER AND MORE "SLEEK"

Couldn't agree more on the exterior styling. It's hard to tell them apart and not very interesting. The pricing is an issue too.

likely suitable for Openpilot!

Those kids are going to grab those screens and pull them off in the first week....

It should have been called a Chrysler Imperial with a 4year 60000 mile warranty

Agree that it is luxurious, but it has a design only a mother can love.

one has to order the max tow package to get the 3.92 axel for max tow

The Grand Wagoner's bother me because of the pseudo 1990's Lexus RX rear reflective tint. It looks bad.

Don't forget the front grille, which is seven sections, like all Jeeps... 😏

I'm disappointed in the rear storage space. Thats less than half of what you can get in a minivan. But I guess there is no "One size fits all" vehicle.

I’d have a tough time pulling the trigger on this amount of money for a Chrysler product given their reliability history. Though maybe if you buy one of these, you’re someone who has the extra money for maintenance, too. There certainly are luxury companies who seem to count on this type of customer.

I can see why they would not want the rear glass opening. It is too large. I have a Nissan with a rear glass that opens and in the winter the hydraulics get weak and the glass comes down on your head!!!!!!!!

Best interior grand wagoneer Better than candillac and lincolin and ford and cheverolet and gmc

Don't understand the issue with the body columns. It's fine.

I've gotten so tired of all these high dollar CUV's. Average cost on a vehicle is now $45k+ it's just nuts. I've migrated to just keeping my existing cars and buying motorcycles, Much cheaper to buy, mod and own.

Is the touch screen matte? Nothing like glare from a computer screen!

Surprised you didn't mention the Mercedes GLS. That was the reason BMW brought the X7 to market in the first place.

Saw one of these on the road, and remarked to my kids how ugly it was. They totally agreed! Like a bungalow on wheels.

Some RU-vidrs post a lot of issues about this vehicle....

If you’re looking at the ultimate road trip vehicle, do you pick Grand Wagoneer or Escalade? Heard that SuperCruise will not be available in 2023 due to “chip shortages”. I was in a GMC dealership looking at Yukons and they are shipping them with missing features (like ventilated seats). But the Grand Wagoneers seem to be shipping with all standard features. Maybe Chrysler is better at managing their supply chain? Anyway, for long road trips, Escalade (w/o SuperCruise), Grand Wagoneer with their ADAS, or wait for Escalade to ship with SuperCruise?

FIRST 🥇! Sounds like a Jeep to me ☺️🤣🤣

13mpg city? Lol. Such a shame we can't have diesels anymore. The EPA sucks.

About the pillar : it's only because the roof is a different color that you really notice them . Anyway, it's not a very nice car.

Ford Godzila engine still in production I believe. Hard to imagine General Motors no longer producing a V8 as well. I think this is the first good move for Jeep Chrysler as far as new product going on seemingly forever now. Ford has been by far the most aggressive and best of the Big 3 in not shying away at trying to dominate the entire US Automotive Industry in every segment excepting passenger autos although this might change with the Ford Mustang Badge.

Oh boy another vehicle I will never be able to afford in my life

Grand wagoneer with eco diesel 😁

If my $$ was on the line I'd choose the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L series 3 obessidian package with Hurricane twin turbo I line 6 engine.

super❤

i like grand wagoneer l.

Alex, the Wagoneer 4Xe has been announced. Jeep is saying to expect well over 500 miles of range. It will likely be married tot he Hurricane.

Alex is the best. Better than Doug D.

The next bigger and longer Jeep will be an " L " version. Followed by an "XL and XXL." Even rumored is an " XLT "

I think this is an opportunity to bring the Chrysler Aspen name back. All they need to do is to change the front grille and steering wheel to reflect the difference. But the issue is pricing. Most of the Wagoneers are over $100k.

No to the fork.

With all this screens blinding you at night can you even see what is out the window.?

I do agree that Wagoneer should be sold in its own channel. But nobody seems to care that Genesis vehicles are sold alongside Hyundai Accents.

the 5.7 hemi is a great engine, horrible on fuel economy tho

The fork is just you

Jeep’s naming conventions are all over the place. Instead of creating a Wrangler sub-brand, they gave their truck it’s own name (Gladiator, not Wrangler T or Wrangler Gladiator). Whereas the “Grand” in Grand Wagoneer is designated a high tier trim like “Denali”, the Grand Cherokee and Cherokee are completely separate vehicles. There’s also an upcoming Wagoneer S, which is copying Land Rover’s Sport naming designation, but isn’t used anywhere else.

I would so much want this with the 3.0 ecodiesel! Such a disappointing move that they cancelled the ecodiesel. Also, those pillars are an eyesore. It will be a flop, because of this. Too odd looking.
