At Dick Huvaere’s Richmond Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we are thrilled to celebrate the return of an American classic: the Wagoneer. This highly anticipated family of models returns with gusto, but these aren’t your everyday SUVs. They were built to spark inspiration, make memories, and drive your family into the future. Before you hit the roads of Richmond, New Baltimore, and Detroit, Michigan, read through our 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer review. Find out what awaits you when you take your spot at the helm, and get ready to transform the way you drive forever.
2022 Wagoneer: A Legacy Built on Capability
Wagoneer vehicles have a lot to offer, especially when it comes to performance. The ability to test the limits will be in your hands, thanks to expert engineering all around the vehicle.
Power Under the Hood: Engine Capabilities
At the heart of your luxury SUV is a powerful engine. Luckily, it doesn’t matter if you drive the Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer; both vehicles are powered by premium engines that are sure to put a pep in your step.
Standard across Wagoneer trim levels is a 5.7L V8 engine with eTorque. With this engine powering your SUV, you get up to 392 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque. Plus, with its mild hybrid capabilities, this engine helps achieve an EPA-estimated 16 city/22 highway MPG.
Looking for a little more oomph? Standard across Grand Wagoneer trim levels is a 6.4L V8 engine. This engine offers extra thrills thanks to its 471 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque engine output. However, without a mild hybrid engine, this SUV achieves a reduced fuel efficiency with an EPA-estimated 13 city/18 highway MPG.
Both SUVs are great options for performance, so you can choose between the two based on how much power and fuel efficiency you need.
All-Wheel Drive
While we love bright, sunny days, we know that inclement weather—such as rain, ice, and snow—are always possible when living so close to Lake Erie. Thankfully, these SUVs come prepared to tackle all types of road conditions.
Wagoneer Traction Features
This SUV makes available three 4×4 systems, turning the off-road into a destination rather than a challenge:
- Quadra-Trac I® 4X4: When equipped, this feature constantly provides 4X4 traction, allowing you to feel confident behind the wheel.
- Quadra-Trac II® 4X4: When equipped, this system provides the same benefits as Quadra-Trac I® 4X4 with the added bonus of a 2-speed transfer case, which can detect early signs of wheel slip.
- Quadra-Drive® II: When equipped, this feature will constantly monitor the conditions of the road. When extra traction is needed, automatic engagement of the 4X4 system occurs.
The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System—offered as part of the Quadra-Trac I® 4X4 and Quadra-Trac II® 4X4 systems—only aids in this, allowing you to conquer whatever crosses your path.
Grand Wagoneer Traction Features
This SUV also comes equipped with incredible traction features. This model includes Quadra-Drive® II to help you stay on path. The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System is also included with this SUV. Just like with the other model, this SUV allows you to toggle between five different terrain types:
- Auto
- Sport
- Rock
- Snow
- Sand/Mud
Wagoneer vs Grand Wagoneer All-Wheel Drive
Both SUVs offer incredible traction abilities, so both are great choices. Looking for more options? Wagoneer is the way to go.
Towing Capabilities
Both SUVs boast impressive towing capacities, so you can bring your favorite gear along for the ride.
Wagoneer vs Grand Wagoneer Towing:
- Wagoneer: 10,000 pounds
- Grand Wagoneer: 9,850 pounds
Both maximum capacities are perfect for lake getaways.

Those in the back will be in awe of the available rear seat entertainment system. This puts two 10.1-inch screens on the back of the first-row seats—perfect for keeping little ones busy.
No matter which SUV you choose, everyone inside will be more than happy.
2022 Jeep Wagoneer & Grand Wagoneer Safety: Putting Your Family First
Though finely crafted materials, high-end entertainment, and capability are all important, nothing tops safety in a vehicle. This is why these SUVs are backed by over 120 standard and available safety features.
One of the most notable is the standard ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist with Stop. This feature uses sensors to help you park your SUV. A live feed is also projected onto the vehicle’s infotainment screen.
Want extra safety when driving your SUV? Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist can provide automatic braking when parking under certain conditions, and it is available with both SUVs.
When hitting the road at night, utilize the available Night Vision Camera of the Grand Wagoneer that’s equipped with both Pedestrian and Animal Detection. By reacting to radiating heat and using thermal imaging, you can see objects, animals, and people in the dark and be notified of them.
