If you’re in the market for a powerful, full-size SUV that combines luxury, space, and performance, you’ve likely come across the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer and 2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. At Chris Crain Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Benton, AR, we know that choosing between these two outstanding SUVs can be a tough decision, so we’re here to help break it down for you. 

Whether you’re focused on value, features, or top-of-the-line luxury, this guide will help you decide which Jeep SUV is the better fit for your lifestyle.

Wagoneer vs. Grand Wagoneer: What’s the Difference?

Both the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are three-row SUVs built for families, road trips, and towing. They share the same rugged Jeep DNA, but the Grand Wagoneer steps up with more power, added technology, and a high-end luxury feel.

If you’re deciding between these two models, it comes down to your needs for performance, design, and features — and of course, your budget.

Exterior Design: Bold vs. Refined

Both SUVs have a bold, upscale design, but they each show their style in different ways.

  • Wagoneer: Features clean lines and an athletic, classic Jeep look. Standard 18-inch wheels are available, with 20-inch upgrades on higher trims.
  • Grand Wagoneer: Offers a more polished design with chrome accents, LED lighting, and 22-inch wheels as standard. It’s built to make a statement.

Special trims like the Wagoneer Carbide and Grand Wagoneer Obsidian add custom styling details, including blacked-out wheels and dark trim options.

Luxury Interiors & Advanced Tech

Inside, the Wagoneer offers Nappa leather seating, quality materials, and modern tech, making it a comfortable ride for families. You’ll get a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and available heated and ventilated seats.

The Grand Wagoneer takes things even further, with Palermo leather, real wood accents, and a suede headliner. It also comes with:

  • A larger 12-inch touchscreen
  • A front passenger screen
  • Available rear entertainment systems
  • McIntosh premium sound system with up to 23 speakers

The Grand Wagoneer leads the way if you’re looking for a first-class experience on every drive.

Performance & Engine Options

Performance is key when choosing a full-size SUV, and both models deliver.

  • Wagoneer: Powered by a 420-horsepower twin-turbo inline-6 engine, it’s strong and smooth for daily drives and weekend towing.
  • Grand Wagoneer: Boosts that power to 540 horsepower from a tuned version of the same engine. It can go from 0–60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, which is impressive for an SUV this size.

Both models come with available Quadra-Drive II 4×4 systems, giving you confidence on tough terrain or slippery roads. Plus, both can tow up to 10,000 pounds — perfect for boats, trailers, or campers.

Fuel Economy

Fuel efficiency is also something to consider:

  • Wagoneer: Up to 17 city/24 highway MPG
  • Grand Wagoneer: Up to 14 city/20 highway MPG

Interior Space & Storage

Both SUVs are roomy, but if you need extra space, the Grand Wagoneer L offers up to 44 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, while the standard Wagoneer gives you 27 cubic feet. Fold down the seats, and both provide tons of room for gear, groceries, or luggage.

Pricing Breakdown

  • 2025 Wagoneer: Starts around $59,945
  • 2025 Grand Wagoneer: Starts around $91,945
