An Overview of Both Models
When drivers buy luxury vehicles, they want to know that nothing has been left to the imagination. They want to get a vehicle that truly has it all, from an interior that is spacious and elegant to a powertrain that delivers the kind of performance that you would expect in a sports car. In comparing the two, you will see that the 2025 Grand Wagoneer goes the extra mile, providing things as standard that may either be an extra on the 2025 Wagoneer or not available at all. This is not surprising since the 2025 Grand Wagoneer has a base MSRP of $84,945, while the 2025 Wagoneer starts at $59,945.[a] Still, these are two exceptional full-size SUVs that are at the top of their respective classes.
Unrivaled Performance
The 2025 Grand Wagoneer and 2025 Wagoneer feature two different versions of the same powertrain. Each has a 3.0-liter Hurricane turbocharged I-6 gas engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The one on the Grand Wagoneer sports twin turbochargers with a dual overhead camshaft configuration (DOHC), providing 24 valves for its six cylinders. This version of the engine uses direct fuel injection to provide an output of 510 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. The 2025 Wagoneer’s engine also has twin turbochargers but delivers less output at 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque.
Jeep has made the Grand Wagoneer standard with four-wheel drive. This will give you exceptional traction and stability on and off the road. The Wagoneer comes standard with rear-wheel drive, with available four-wheel drive, except for the Series III trim that has standard four-wheel drive. So, one key difference is that you will have to pay a little extra for a four-wheel drivetrain on a Wagoneer.
As you might expect, the Grand Wagoneer outperforms the Wagoneer when it comes to speed and acceleration. The 2025 Grand Wagoneer can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, while it takes the Wagoneer slightly longer to get up to speed, a full 6.7 seconds. Both vehicles have a top speed of about 115 mph.
Of the two models, the Grand Wagoneer may give you and your passengers a smoother ride. This is because the 2025 Grand Wagoneer comes standard with the Quadra-Lift Air Suspension with a Semi-Active Damping system. This helps to smooth out any jolts you may feel passing over ruts and bumps in the road. To take advantage of this system on the Wagoneer, you’ll have to jump up a few trims to get access to it.
A Cabin That Combines Comfort and Luxury
Jeep has truly pushed the envelope when developing the interior for these two models. Each has luxurious finishes and a great deal of space. In fact, both models offer 179 cu.ft. in passenger volume, with the same dimensions. The Wagoneer can seat up to eight passengers, while the Grand Wagoneer comes standard with seven. This is because the Grand Wagoneer replaces the second row 60/40 split bench on the Wagoneer with a pair of captain’s chairs. These will be more comfortable for your second-row passengers while also improving access to the third row of seats.
Heated and ventilated front seats are standard on both models. While the Wagoneer has quality Nappa leather trimming, the Grand Wagoneer has premium leather materials for the seats. In fact, most of the trim levels on the Grand Wagoneer have different leather types. For example, the Grand Wagoneer trim has standard leather trimming, while the Obsidian has Palermo leather, and the Series III and Series III Obsidian feature quilted Palermo leather seats. In addition, the interiors of the 2025 Grand Wagoneer feature interior design and trim that is specific to each model, featuring things like Dark Walnut Wood Accents on the Obsidian and real wood inlays on the Series III.
Accessing the trunk on both models is easy, as each has a Hands-Free Power Liftgate with Adjustable Height. This will come in handy when you go out on a shopping trip and need to access the trunk. The Grand Wagoneer has a larger cargo space behind the third row of seats, with 28.4 cu.ft. of space compared to 27.4 cu.ft. This is why both models are perfect for long road trips with friends or family. Still, the Wagoneer offers the most cargo space, a full 116.7 cu.ft. with the second and third rows of seats folded down, compared to a maximum 94.2 cu.ft. of cargo space on the Grand Wagoneer.
Technology to Keep All on Board Connected and Entertained
Infotainment systems have become a standard feature on most passenger vehicles, as touchscreens have expanded in size over the years. So, the folks at Jeep had to come up with something extraordinary when designing the Uconnect 5 system for these two luxury models. The result is one of the most advanced systems available on any passenger vehicle.
The Uconnect 5 on the 2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Wagoneer has a built-in navigation system that provides guidance even if you decide not to connect your smartphone. This is helpful if you are in a situation where your phone has not been charged. You can also use the system to pair your phone using Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, or Android Auto. This will let you make hands-free calls and texts, while streaming your favorite music apps over the audio systems on these two full-size SUVs. The Wagoneer’s touchscreen measures 10.1 inches, while the Grand Wagoneer has a 12-inch touchscreen. This is in addition to the 10.25-inch digital cluster display on the Wagoneer and the 12.3-inch one on the Grand Wagoneer. The Grand Wagoneer also has an available 10.25-inch front Passenger Interactive Display, giving them access to things like GPS, cameras, and entertainment options.
These two models also come equipped with standard premium audio systems. The Wagoneer features a nine-speaker Alpine Premium Audio System. The Grand Wagoneer goes even bigger, giving passengers a powerful McIntosh MX950 Reference Entertainment System. This has an incredible 19 speakers that have been strategically located throughout the passenger cabin. No matter which model you choose, you are going to get incomparable audio performance, allowing you to hear your favorite music like you have never heard it before. McIntosh and Alpine are two of the leading audio companies in the world. Providing their audio systems as standard equipment on these two models helps them stand apart from other full-size SUVs available today.
