2023 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer L: Design
Boasting an elegant design, the exterior conveys an imposing image with large windows and great visibility. The clean roofline and an A-line that wraps around the entire vehicle pays clear homage to the original Wagoneer. The windshield and front door windows are made of acoustically laminated glass that reduces noise levels.
LED lighting with Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) flank the grille and help emphasize the width and front of the vehicle. At the rear, LED lights extend from the rear quarter panel to the power liftgate. The “Series” and “L” badges on the liftgate show how the particular vehicle is configured.
Both trucks are equipped with 22-inch aluminum wheels.
Wagoneer features a one-piece instrument panel, while Grand Wagoneer L features a two-piece design, with a piano black center bolster. This element seems to float on a structural aluminum plate that, in turn, supports an American walnut wood panel in the passenger area with a metal inlay with the name “Grand Wagoneer”.
Aluminum is another key element that covers the edges of the ventilation system outlets and door horns, among other details.
Wagoneer leather seats are upholstered in Nappa leather and include 12-way power with memory, lumbar support and a manual headrest with 4 positions. Grand Wagoneer L incorporates Palermo leather. The front seats in the Grand Wagoneer L come with 24-way power, memory, massage, lumbar support and four-way power headrests. Both Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer feature heated and ventilated seats for the first two rows and a heated steering wheel.
As we’ve seen since its launch, many of the interior elements pay homage to the Wagoneer’s rich history, such as the two-spoke steering wheel. Opening the front driver and passenger side doors of the Grand Wagoneer L reveals the outer edge of the instrument panel, which features an inscription — EST. 1963 — paying homage to the year of the first original Wagoneer model.
