2022 Jeep Wagoneer Photos, engines & full specs

In 2021, Jeep unveiled a new generation of the Wagoneer, which, unlike its two predecessors, was no longer based on a unibody platform but on a body-on-frame structure.

The Wagoneer nameplate appeared on the market in late 1962 for the 1963 model year and led the way to the modern SUV with its family-oriented design. It was no longer a 4x4 vehicle built to endure rough terrains, even though it could, but to indulge families. The following two generations were made using the Jeep Cherokee XJ and the Grand Cherokee ZJ platforms, which looked more like trim levels rather than different vehicles. Then, in 2021, the American brand released the Wagoneer by Jeep. At that time, Stellantis tried to create an upscale brand for the industrial group, and that’s why the large-sized SUV didn’t sport the famous Jeep brand on it.

At the front, the car had a commanding look on the road, and despite not sporting the Jeep badge on it, it still featured the seven-slat grille. This was flanked by narrow LED headlights and was adorned by chromed trims and mesh design. Lower, on the bulky bumper, the car manufacturer installed another shiny decoration that underlined the fog lamps on the outer sides. But the Wagoneer had to be able to tackle some off-road areas, so the automaker offered it with an aluminum skid plate under the apron.

With a classical off-road-styled shape, the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer created a powerful image for the vehicle. Its platform, carried over from the Ram 1500, had a 123-inch (3.12-meter) wheelbase, which allowed the automaker to create generously sized doors. The design team created a window line that resembled the one from the original Wagoneer from the early ‘60s. Unlike that model, though, the fourth generation of this nameplate came with 20-inch alloy wheels fitted as standard, with an option for a 22-inch set. At the back, the automaker installed corner-mounted LED taillights extended over the tailgate and visually connected via a shiny black trim. Lower, the bumper sported the LEDs for the reversing and fog lamps and concealed the exhaust behind the valance.

However, the most significant step forward for the Wagoneer in the Stellantis’ evolution strategy was found inside the vehicle. The automaker worked tirelessly to create one of the most luxurious cabins in the brand’s history. Furthermore, it introduced all the technologies it had in its basket, and when it lacked something, it pushed its suppliers to create something new. As a result, the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer featured a completely digital instrument cluster that fronted the driver. In addition, a 12-inch touchscreen adorned the center stack between the center vents. Furthermore, there was an option for a side passenger screen, where those seated next to the driver could watch a movie, listen to their own music via Bluetooth headphones, or even monitor the rear seats via an interior video surveillance system. For the middle row, the automaker installed a bench seat for three and added the option for two 10.1-inch touchscreens. In the last row, the Wagoneer could accommodate three adult-sized passengers.

Under the hood, the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer had a 5.7-liter V8 gasoline engine and an electric motor for a total output of 392 PS (382 hp). The hybrid powerplant sent its oomph to the rear wheels or in all corners, depending on the options.
