Jeep’s full-size three-row offering has always carried the weight of American automotive royalty — after all, the original Grand Wagoneer predated the Escalade and Navigator by decades. But when the nameplate returned in 2021, Stellantis stumbled with a confusing two-tier lineup that muddied the waters between Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. For 2026, Jeep’s wiping the slate clean. The Wagoneer name is gone, replaced by a streamlined Grand Wagoneer lineup that finally wears Jeep badges and starts under $65,000. More importantly, it’s getting America’s first range-extended electric SUV option.
Cleaning Up the Lineup
The consolidation here is long overdue. Previously, shoppers faced a Wagoneer versus Grand Wagoneer decision, then waded through Series I, II, and III trim levels that only added more confusion. Now it’s straightforward with the Grand Wagoneer, Limited Altitude, and Summit Obsidian. Each trim can be spec’d in 4×2, 4×4, or long-wheelbase configurations, with pricing spanning from $62,145 to just over $96,000 for a loaded Summit Obsidian L.
Two Powertrains, Different Philosophies
Standard power comes from Stellantis’ 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six, producing 420hp and 468lb.ft of torque with a 10,000-pound tow rating. The high-output version is gone, but that’s because Jeep’s introducing something far more interesting with a range-extended electric variant arriving later in the model year.
Borrowing tech from the Ram 1500 REV (formerly Ramcharger), the REEV setup pairs a 92-kWh battery pack with a 3.6-liter V-6 generator. The result is 647hp, 620lb.ft of torque, a claimed 5.0-second sprint to 60 mph, and over 500 miles of total range. Around 150 of those miles come from pure electric driving, with the gas engine kicking in as needed to keep the battery charged.
Sharpened Styling
The exterior refresh brings a squared-off front fascia with raised headlights and an illuminated seven-slot grille that borrows cues from the electric Wagoneer S. Full-width LED lighting front and rear gives the Grand Wagoneer a more cohesive presence, while the elimination of all chrome trim marks a welcome shift toward modern luxury. New wheel designs from 18 to 22 inches offer personalization, and the Jeep badges — absent from the original revival — now sit proudly on the hood and tailgate.
Inside, changes are minimal but still thoughtful. A larger head-up display with twice the virtual image distance of previous versions debuts on higher trims, while new interior colors like Dark Ruby Red add flair to the Summit Reserve. Open-pore Dark Waxed Walnut trim and Palermo quilted leather push the luxury quotient higher, as does the optional 23-speaker McIntosh audio system.
