“The technology and systems are not ready. I have already had to send my vehicle in 3 times for a screen replacement due to glitches, my climate control does not work well and is not consistent. Check engine light has been on twice for updates. I want to love this vehicle but I'm frustrated that my brand new vehicle has had to go in 3 times already due to technology reasons.”
2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2023 is the new Grand Wagoneer L, which adds substantial length and more room behind the third row. This is a lineup-expansion year rather than a full redesign.
About the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
WS generation, second model year; lineup-expansion year with the new Grand Wagoneer L and Hurricane inline-six rollout.
Jeep positions the Grand Wagoneer as a full-size American luxury SUV that mixes premium cabin materials, a screen-heavy interior, and genuine 4WD hardware. The pitch is not just comfort and family space, but luxury with towing strength and Jeep-brand capability. Against rivals like the Escalade and Navigator, its main differentiators are its upscale interior feel, available long-wheelbase body, strong towing numbers, and the fact that even the luxury-focused model keeps serious four-wheel-drive equipment.
The 2023 Grand Wagoneer remains a three-row luxury SUV, with the base model emphasizing a premium cabin, air suspension, four-wheel drive, and a 12-inch touchscreen. Series II and Series III pair a 510-hp six-cylinder engine with richer cabin features, while Series III adds items such as a 23-speaker McIntosh audio system, a front-passenger display, Night Vision, and ventilated second-row captain’s chairs. Obsidian models add dark exterior details and black cabin accents.

2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
4.3
2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
(110 reviews)
“Overall the Grand Wagoneer is an excellent choice. Some further refinement in technology reliability would do well. If you are taller (over 6 feet) you may want to consider that the headrest on the front seats is extremely uncomfortable and hits right between the shoulders. The Grand Wagoneer is still heads and shoulders above any other choice.”
“Everything about the Jeep Grand Wagoneer is top shelf. The massaging technology for the seats is incredible. The technology for phones allows for safe communication and easy access without ever touching your cellular device. This vehicle drives with both elegance and power. Great take off and easy braking. This vehicle is large and agile but you will be reminded of its massive girth going around curves.”
