RIP ESCALADE! 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Review

**Exploring the All-New Jeep Wagoneer: A Luxury SUV with a Rich Feature Set**

As I sit down in the back row of the all-new Jeep Wagoneer, I'm immediately impressed by the abundance of space and comfort. The captain chair at my back is super easy to get into, even from the three rows, and there's a ton of room to spare behind me. This is especially noticeable when the seats are folded down, providing an impressive amount of cargo space that would be perfect for box tests - if I were unfortunate enough to crash my car through some boxes.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Wagoneer is its connection to other platforms. As it shares a common platform with the Ram 1500, this creates an intriguing link between these two vastly different vehicles. The visors are not on the same platform as the Ram 1500, but that's beside the point - what's truly impressive is the sheer amount of features and technology that has been packed into this luxury SUV.

The cup holders in the front are a particular standout feature, with multiple compartments and even phone holders that fit my iPhone perfectly. It's clear that Jeep has paid close attention to detail when it comes to creating a premium interior experience. And then there's the walnut wood trim, which slides open to reveal a freezer fridge that's truly impressive - I've never seen condensation like this before! The infotainment system is also top-notch, with a Macintosh sound system that delivers excellent sound quality.

But what really sets the Wagoneer apart is its position within the luxury SUV market. By transitioning from Jeep to a full-fledged luxury brand, FCA has managed to create a vehicle that rivals the likes of Cadillac and Lincoln - without sacrificing any of the Jeep's signature off-road prowess. The interior is beautifully appointed, with leather and wood trim aplenty, and the exterior styling is both rugged and refined.

As I explore the Wagoneer further, it becomes clear that this is a vehicle that's not afraid to take on its more established rivals. With a starting price of $99,995 CAD for the base model and $120,995 CAD for the top-of-the-line trim, it's clear that Jeep is positioning itself as a serious contender in the luxury SUV market.

But how does it compare to other vehicles in this class? In my opinion, the Wagoneer ties with the Cadillac Escalade - both offer an unbeatable blend of luxury, technology, and off-road capability. The Navigator, on the other hand, is a harder sell for me - its unique design may appeal to some, but I'm not convinced it's worth the premium price.

So should you consider the Wagoneer? If you're in the market for a new SUV and prioritize comfort, technology, and style, then this is definitely a vehicle worth considering. And if you're looking for something that can keep up with your active lifestyle, the Wagoneer's off-road prowess makes it an excellent choice.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eni'm yuri i'm jacob going for a drive 2022 jeep grand wagoneer without launch control not bad that's a lot of power horsepower and torque 471 horsepower 455 pound-feet of torque from a 6.4 liter v8 so this is an all-new suv bringing back a throwback name from jeep what are the competitors for the grand wagoneer the main ones would be the cadillac escalade and the lincoln navigator and also kind of the bmw x7 and the mercedes gls what you're saying is this is kind of luxurious this is quite luxurious and what is the starting price of this thing in us dollars it's 88 995 and if you're shopping for a new jeep click the true car link in the top right corner to get discounted price offers so let's start off with the looks because that's the most striking thing of this because it is a throwback to the old wagoneer which was the woody wagoneer from breaking bad yeah so the first thing that sucks about the design is that it's not a woody come on guys if you're going to bring the name back make it a woody i think i saw some red drinks with that yeah that was so cool it looked really good so starting with the front end we do have a little bit of throwback where the hood kind of goes up around the grill and in the grand wagoneer it says that in the chrome part where a regular wagoneer will have the letters on the hood and the grille angles forward which is a heritage thing and they also look different from each other so from the front do you like the looks of this more than the grand cherokee owl yeah significantly more like this is what the grand cherokee l should have been i think okay now moving on to the side view we've got a very i guess debatable look that people like or not like because of the chrome little swoops that come around all the windows yeah so there is a obsidian version which blacks everything out i i do think it looks really good the chrome kind of works on this it's a little bit weird looking but i kind of like that now because it's very different from every other suv it gives it like a throwback 60s styling i think yeah for sure especially once we move around to the back but sticking to the side i really like these wheels as well yeah it's a pretty cool pretty chill multi-spoked design but what would be the continental recommended tire for the jeep grand wagoneer that would be the cross contact lx25 back to the side body lines and everything this is two-tone two-tone comes standard on the grand wagoneers and i love how they made the two-tone part into the door it's not just the roof so when you open up you can see and i think that adds a lot of different two-tone-ness than the usual two-toners yeah and i'm not too into this burgundy color the last couple of stalantis vehicles that we've driven evolved in this color i think it looks pretty good in like silver and white as well as long as you've got the black roof and now moving on to the back we continue that chrome theme where it kind of comes down like the window actually looks a little bit small from outside but in here you know you got a lot of visibility i think the looks look fantastic yeah i really like the back end i love the grand wagoneer lettering that made it huge and the fact that it's like copper on the side of the letter it's like it's like angled coming out it's really impressive and the tail lights look pretty cool i i really like the look of this and we have sequential tail lights and sequential turn signals which is very awesome and then it's also black at the bottom to match the top and those are your side steps that come out when you open the door and then our exhaust at the back is just two exhausts dumped out the bottom we don't have any fancy tips or anything which is nice because that means they didn't do fake tips right but we do have some very lovely sounds coming from those two exhaust tips from this 6.4 liter v8 so let's take a listen to the outside that's a hammy yeah now floor for me inside yuri muscular but like really toned down luxury muscle yeah so looks wise this compared to the escalade and the navigator did they do a good job of like sneaking jeep into a luxury car segment i think they did i don't think it looks the best but i think it looks the most different which i i really do like i think the cadillac escalade like absolutely nailed it escalade and navigator have better and like more striking front ends where this has a better and more striking everything else but the front ends yes i would agree with that and then x7 or gls i think the x7 looks really really good like really good and to time the luxury from the outside to the luxury on the inside if we look at the general looks of this interior we've got this amazing walnut wood and then we've got really nice leather everywhere a lot of piano black but this is a very expensive luxury suv so it kind of makes sense yeah it kind of does i'm still not a big fan of it it is literally basically everywhere but the materials in here are very nice like even the vents the finishes on the vents yes they are gloss certain parts of their glass black but this copper amazing yeah and then we can get it in a whole bunch of different colors as well like some of the lighter colors may look nicer to you and then there are some like cool different wood patterns you can get in there in like metal patterns and since i'm on the passenger side i do really like seeing this grand wagoneer in front of me and i actually do have a passenger screen in front of me as well which year you can't actually see because the way they designed the screen for driver safety yeah it's got one of those privacy films on it and while we're on the screen i can actually input directions and things i can actually watch netflix which we'll get to later and i can send those directions to the main screen from this passenger screen i think this is one of the best implementations of something like this from any manufacturer ever they actually did something better than every other manufacturer so far with screens in the back and that is having amazon fire tv for auto back there which means you can watch netflix youtube disney plus all that stuff you have remotes with hard buttons for everything and you can mirror your iphone by plugging into an hdmi but if you have an android you can just mirror it wirelessly yeah it's a really really good system like definitely the best that we've ever seen like this is the first yuri has been complaining that he wants netflix in a car we have netflix in a car and it's not laggy or anything like everything works as it should you do need to connect to a wi-fi hotspot this is a pre-production model so we can't actually connect to the wi-fi hotspot but when you buy one of these it will have that and like i said earlier you can actually watch netflix on the passenger side and the driver can't see it so you can actually watch it in the front and the passengers in the back can also watch netflix it's awesome okay let's get you behind the wheel talk about the rest of the interior infotainment power handling let's do it i guess that's pretty much our normal review that's a car review since you break boosted it i'm just gonna floor it that was surprisingly better because this thing is gigantic so we do have a zf 8-speed auto it is really good really smooth but not as smooth as like a mercedes or something like that it's it's very nice though this thing needs a hellcat motor yeah it kind of does but this is definitely the appropriate amount of power for this it's way better than that jeep grand cherokee l with that v6 so very floored very appropriate yeah this is great it sounds good like you put a little exhaust on here throw some valves on it this is great but how's the gas mileage uh 15 miles per gallon quite terrible worse than its competitors in the escalade in the navigator and if you guys haven't noticed uh we're actually on a bit of a press event right now so we're filming in a different location but we did film through cliche corner earlier handling wise this is not very good like keeping it between the lanes on cliche corner was actually difficult i did turn off the traction one traction and it just it cut power constantly you need to stove it in and then like off the gas and then just floor it straight and then just do your turn and then floor it again this is not a handling suv but this air suspension is remarkable it is so comfortable the only thing i think it's missing is a comfort mode yes we have auto we have sport we have a bunch of different drive modes but it's missing comfort like i wish there was comfort and comfort plus like an alpena it needs a show mode so when you park you can dump it extra extra low which it does not have yeah because it does have parking entry exit mode but it's not as low as we'd like it oh train track test my train tracks exactly that was really good and you can independently control the air suspension the ride height with its own little dial which is really nice you can raise it up to 10 inches which is apparently best in class and i guess it makes sense because the old grand wagoneer was kind of like one of the first suvs for going off-roading right they called it a uv because it wasn't exactly sporty which is kind of funny and this is a 4x4 we do have four four-wheel drive low we do have an electronic limited slip differential in the back so overall it's a really good system i'm sure to be totally fine in the winter obviously no issue today other than for handling it's just it's not the best system for handling like i need to stress that out but you know what it is good at handling radar cruise and lane keep yes so that is one of the best systems on the market we really like this system because you just have to tap the steering wheel with your fingers and it lane centers you like very well yeah once it detects something it's pretty much the exact same from the maserati and the newer alfa romeos yeah very good and these gauges are pretty much identical to the ones we had in the cherokee l we do have the optional night vision which we've been using during the day to see hot exhaust it's a pretty cool system it's just silly yeah and you can look at some really hot exhausts while you're towing because this can actually tow up to 9850 pounds but if you get the regular wagoneer with the smaller v8 engine you can actually tow 10 000 pounds and that is because the weight of the engine interesting yeah very different so moving back into the interior how is the seat comfort for you jacob it's pretty good but there's still like a lot of things kind of poking my back not the most comfortable seats even though they are extremely customizable yeah we find that the more customizable it is the more things you have pushing into your back the wrong way but we do have massage in here you can click the button on the side here to adjust everything and to get your massage started and then we've got the screen that can pop up from the bottom where you can adjust all your massages and it is very very fast like going through these animations is probably faster than any car manufacturer i've seen so far yeah and this is a very range rover but the ability to hide that screen if you're into hiding things in your car it's very good it's like cadillac style yeah exactly my favorite massage mode is rock climb just because of the name moving slightly above that still interior stuff our engine starts stop button is probably the coolest one ever because it sticks out and has cool leather wrapping around it yeah that's it's kind of unbelievable it has a leather wrapping around it to the left of that your steering wheel yeah it's uh two spoke it looks kind of cool i do like the wood grain on it i love seeing the grand wagoneer on here don't like the gloss black buttons but overall it's pretty decent yeah it's kind of two spoke just like the old grand wagoneer yeah and then we have our infotainment here which does have some buttons on the side luckily we do have an actual volume and tuning knob and our heated and cooled seats and heated steering wheel are on the side as well yeah it's all capacitive which isn't our favorite and piano black which isn't our favorite but then we've got a bunch of hard buttons for climate which are all panel black which are our favorite at least they're hard buttons yeah and then the infotainment is actually pretty good it's not laggy at all we have apple carplay android auto the screen resolution is amazing we do have a front and 360 camera as well obviously a reverse camera it's very good then below that we got a couple more capacitive touch buttons like your traction your lane keep and stuff like that your screen moving and your auto park you get used to it it's okay yeah and then our shifters uh dial down here which again you get used to but it looks cool it does it's not it's not a crystal shifter though and then we also have ambient lighting in here that pops out but it's light outside so i haven't seen it yet but from the presentation looks pretty cool and let's talk about the second and third row because apparently these are best in class leg room and i would actually believe it because i am so comfortable in both rows at six foot one and a half yeah very comfortable we've got peasant blockers in the middle row we've got huge sunroofs and everything it's very nice back there i would not mind doing a road trip back there like as an adult in the back this would be a great airport shuttle oh my god yeah and it is two captains chairs in the middle row but you can option a bench if you'd like and to fold the captain chair down to get to the back row it's super easy and there's so much room to get to the back which is rare for a lot of three rows yeah and then you can fold the back seats back there there's a ton of room in here because this is an event we didn't actually bring our boxes sorry about that but there's so much room back there but with all the seats up you don't get as much room behind you as you would in those special like yukons that are the xlts i think yes the the extended versions yeah so it doesn't compete with those ones but it's a good amount of room this would be crazy for box tests if i crash my car through some boxes will you guys subscribe i think they would thank you keep subscribing for more explosions and boxes this is actually on the same platform as the ram 1500 which is very interesting oh that's wild yo how about the visors are they on the same platform i don't i don't know three two one oh good job full pass and we can fit cups in our cup holders here which have a lot of cool little compartments and my favorite ones are the phone holders on the side because they actually fit my iphone perfectly the 12 pro max which fits nowhere okay check this out we can slide this little thing here in the walnut wood and if we lift this up we got a freezer fridge down there that's like legit yeah this is the first time we've seen condensation and actual ice very very cold but the one in the middle road doesn't have a fridge this has a ton of compartments and we got a cool screen here to control the infotainment i am surprised that they transition jeep to a luxury brand so well so am i yeah like they've done such a good job it's american luxury right exactly but like a lot of things they've actually done better than the escalade and the navigator not everything but a lot of things and then this also does have a macintosh sound system mckintosh which sounds really good um i guess we didn't really know much about it before and it seems like it's showing up in a lot of the jeeps now and it is pretty solid every single time yeah and this is an upgraded system compared to the one that we had in the grand cherokee l and then this also does have the camera on the inside that you could see all four seats five seats eight seats this one this one's got seven seven you can't have eight if you have the bench but it's cool i really like seeing that even though the stuff shows upside down because you can see even kids in the front on reverse facing child seats so is that pretty much everything out of the way with this grand wagoneer that would be everything except the price let's get to the price this one starts at one hundred thousand nine hundred and ninety five dollars canadian and this one is one hundred and twenty thousand nine nine five well it's competing with the escalade it's competing with the navigator it kind of has to be yeah except those are lincoln and cadillac which kind of makes sense in my head but hearing jeep with that price is kind of crazy yes it's not a trackhawk but like dodge and chrysler are the ford and chevy jeep i think is now going to become the lincoln and the cadillac yeah i think you're right except also still the jeep yes they're positioning it very interestingly so would you take this over an escalade or a navigator because i think i would tie this with the escalade and i wouldn't even consider the navigator this in the escalade is really hard to make up my mind because i really like the looks of the cadillac but this is just like new and impressive in here but if i prioritize the middle c technology i would pretty much have to go this and if i wanted like the more hipster cool then people wouldn't expect choice this is a no-brainer yeah and i do like this 6.4 liter v8 even more than i like that 6.2 that's in the escalator but then this has that really good lane keep yes but we've never tried cadillac supercruise yet which apparently is a very good system apparently we'll get there one day and if you're shopping for a new jeep and you live in the united states click the true car link below there's a discount when using the stray pipes link you can also shop for used jeeps using truecar and if you live in canada there's a car help canada link below so let us know what you guys think of this all-new jeep should they have brought this back with wood paneling i think the answer is obviously yes and does this compete close enough to the x7 and the gls or should it stick to the cadillac and the linki'm yuri i'm jacob going for a drive 2022 jeep grand wagoneer without launch

captains chairs in the middle row but you can option a bench if you'd like and to fold the captain chair down to get to the back row it's super easy and there's so much room to get to the back which is rare for a lot of three rows yeah and then you can fold the back seats back there there's a ton of room in here because this is an event we didn't actually bring our boxes sorry about that but there's so much room back there but with all the seats up you don't get as much room behind you as you would in those special like yukons that are the xlts i think yes the the extended versions yeah so it doesn't compete with those ones but it's a good amount of room this would be crazy for box tests if i crash my car through some boxes will you guys subscribe i think they would thank you keep subscribing for more explosions and boxes this is actually on the same platform as the ram 1500 which is very interesting oh that's wild yo how about the visors are they on the same platform i don't i don't know three two one oh good job full pass and we can fit cups in our cup holders here which have a lot of cool little compartments and my favorite ones are the phone holders on the side because they actually fit my iphone perfectly the 12 pro max which fits nowhere okay check this out we can slide this little thing here in the walnut wood and if we lift this up we got a freezer fridge down there that's like legit yeah this is the first time we've seen condensation and actual ice very very cold but the one in the middle road doesn't have a fridge this has a ton of compartments and we got a cool screen here to control the infotainment i am surprised that they transition jeep to a luxury brand so well so am i yeah like they've done such a good job it's american luxury right exactly but like a lot of things they've actually done better than the escalade and the navigator not everything but a lot of things and then this also does have a macintosh sound system mckintosh which sounds really good um i guess we didn't really know much about it before and it seems like it's showing up in a lot of the jeeps now and it is pretty solid every single time yeah and this is an upgraded system compared to the one that we had in the grand cherokee l and then this also does have the camera on the inside that you could see all four seats five seats eight seats this one this one's got seven seven you can't have eight if you have the bench but it's cool i really like seeing that even though the stuff shows upside down because you can see even kids in the front on reverse facing child seats so is that pretty much everything out of the way with this grand wagoneer that would be everything except the price let's get to the price this one starts at one hundred thousand nine hundred and ninety five dollars canadian and this one is one hundred and twenty thousand nine nine five well it's competing with the escalade it's competing with the navigator it kind of has to be yeah except those are lincoln and cadillac which kind of makes sense in my head but hearing jeep with that price is kind of crazy yes it's not a trackhawk but like dodge and chrysler are the ford and chevy jeep i think is now going to become the lincoln and the cadillac yeah i think you're right except also still the jeep yes they're positioning it very interestingly so would you take this over an escalade or a navigator because i think i would tie this with the escalade and i wouldn't even consider the navigator this in the escalade is really hard to make up my mind because i really like the looks of the cadillac but this is just like new and impressive in here but if i prioritize the middle c technology i would pretty much have to go this and if i wanted like the more hipster cool then people wouldn't expect choice this is a no-brainer yeah and i do like this 6.4 liter v8 even more than i like that 6.2 that's in the escalator but then this has that really good lane keep yes but we've never tried cadillac supercruise yet which apparently is a very good system apparently we'll get there one day and if you're shopping for a new jeep and you live in the united states click the true car link below there's a discount when using the stray pipes link you can also shop for used jeeps using truecar and if you live in canada there's a car help canada link below so let us know what you guys think of this all-new jeep should they have brought this back with wood paneling i think the answer is obviously yes and does this compete close enough to the x7 and the gls or should it stick to the cadillac and the link\n"
