The Wagoneer vs. Grand Cherokee are both roomy, full-size SUVs that can seat up to seven people. Whether you’re carpooling or loading up after a big shopping trip, both models are comfortable thanks to their upscale interiors and deluxe amenities. They both offer impressive second- and third-row legroom, too. They also come with plenty of convenience features, such as available power-folding third-row seats and second-row captain’s chairs. However, the Grand Cherokee offers more front-seat legroom than the Wagoneer, which can only accommodate 41.3 inches.
Both SUVs can take on rugged terrain thanks to their available four-wheel drive systems and Selec-Terrain traction management system. But they differ in terms of performance, as well. The Grand Cherokee’s standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine delivers up to 293 horsepower, while its optional 5.7-liter HEMI V8 provides more muscle at 357 hp. Both models are capable of towing up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped.

Jeep Wagoneer Technology & Comfort: A Luxury Experience on Wheels
When it comes to fuel economy, the Wagoneer is the thriftier of the two SUVs. Its EPA ratings of 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive aren’t bad for an SUV this size. In contrast, the Grand Cherokee’s EPA ratings of 14 mpg city, 19 mpg highway, and 17 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and about 1 mpg worse with 4WD aren’t great either.
Both of these SUVs are available to test drive at our dealership in Glendale. Contact us to schedule a test drive and see which one better suits your family’s needs.
