Jeep is making a bold statement, merging its legendary capability with true American luxury and, most surprisingly, a newfound focus on value. The newly unveiled 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has not only streamlined its flagship SUV lineup but has dramatically reset the entry point, starting at a family- and wallet-friendly price under $65,000.
This isn’t just a minor refresh; it’s a strategic pivot that clarifies the Grand Wagoneer’s identity, making full-size luxury more attainable while pushing the boundaries of technology and performance.
A Unified, More Accessible Flagship
In a move that simplifies the buying process and unifies its premium identity, Jeep has consolidated all full-size models under the single Jeep Grand Wagoneer nameplate. Crucially, the base price for the 4×2 model with the Hurricane engine now starts at just $62,145 MSRP (excluding destination), a significant drop that positions it competitively against rivals in the three-row luxury segment.
Every model now proudly wears the Jeep badge, reinforcing its deep roots in American capability while delivering the high levels of comfort and refinement the Grand Wagoneer name implies.
Performance Takes a Revolutionary Leap
The 2026 Grand Wagoneer offers two distinct, powerful paths forward, catering to different driving priorities:
- The Hurricane Standard: The acclaimed 3.0-liter Hurricane Twin Turbo I-6 engine is the standard powerhouse, delivering 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. This engine provides smooth, potent acceleration and maintains a best-in-class available towing capability of up to 10,000 lbs.
- America’s First REEV: Arriving later in the model year is a groundbreaking Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) application. This system delivers an astonishing estimated 647 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque, making it the quickest Grand Wagoneer ever, hitting 0-60 mph in just five seconds. It features a gas-powered generator that charges the battery on the go, resulting in an anticipated total driving range of upwards of 500 miles, providing electric confidence for the daily commute without the range anxiety of a pure EV for long road trips.
Elevated Design: Chrome is Out, Sophistication is In
The exterior design has undergone a masterful refinement:
- Refreshed Front Profile: The fascia is reimagined with a taller, more squared-off volume, projecting strength and modernity.
- Illuminated Grille: The iconic seven-slot grille now features illuminated slots, flanked by full-width LED lighting that creates a commanding visual signature.
- Chrome-Free: In a bold move toward a cleaner, more modern aesthetic, the 2026 Grand Wagoneer features a completely chrome-free exterior—a first for the nameplate.
A Sanctuary of Luxury and Tech
Inside, the cabin remains a testament to full-size American luxury, focused on family-friendly versatility:
- Palermo Leather & Wood: Upper trims feature rich, quilted Palermo leather seating and a new open-pore real wood trim called Dark Waxed Walnut.
- Enhanced Visibility: The available Head-up Display (HUD) has been significantly enlarged, offering a wider field of view for key driving data.
- Spaciousness: The interior is built for a full-size life, offering the most second-row legroom and the most first- and second-row hip room in its class. The Long Wheelbase (LWB) model further expands cargo capacity, ensuring no adventure is too big.
- Luxurious Appointments: From available 24-way power-adjustable front seats with massage function to the exclusive McIntosh audio systems, the Grand Wagoneer’s cabin is designed to be a sophisticated sanctuary.
By simplifying the nameplate, introducing revolutionary powertrains, and, most importantly, resetting the entry price under $65,000, the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is set to redefine expectations for the full-size American luxury SUV.
