When Jeep brought back the mighty Wagoneer, it decided to make the large premium SUVs a sub-brand. Bringing the Wagoneer back turned out to be a great decision for Jeep. The premium SUVs have won a number of awards for luxury and handling. Sales of the large Wagoneer SUVs have been strong and profitable. The all-new 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L has won an award from Wards for 2023 10 Best Interiors & User Experience. The Wagoneer L is a foot longer than the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer but is filled with the same incredible luxury and technological upgrades. Last year, the Grand Wagoneer won a 2022 Wards 10Best Interiors & UX award.
“The stellar combination of supple materials, comfortable seating, cavernous room and a plethora of good-looking displays and well-functioning technologies, including high-res rear entertainment screens with built-in Amazon Fire TV, make the Wagoneer L a 2023 Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX winner,” said Christie Schweinsberg, Wards editor and Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX judge.
The 2023 Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L
The 2023 Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L add 12 inches in overall length making the vehicles 226.7 inches long. The longer length allows the Wagoneer L to deliver best-in-class overall passenger volume, total volume, best-in-class third-row headroom and the most cargo volume behind the third row. The large interior seats up to eight passengers.
The Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L both have more than 50 inches of total screen display area, with advanced, user-friendly technologies. The infotainment system features the 5-times-faster Uconnect 5 and built-in Amazon Fire TV. The technology also includes a windshield Head-up Display (HUD), frameless digital cluster, digital rearview mirror and class-exclusive 19-speaker 950-watt McIntosh MX950 Entertainment System.
“With its extra foot in length versus the standard Wagoneer, the Jeep® Wagoneer L is a monster premium three-row beast that can handle just about anything an owner would throw at it, with style,” said Bob Gritzinger, Wards editor and Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX judge.
“This double honor from Wards — for both the best interior and the best user experience — is strong validation that the all-new Wagoneer L delivers on its mission of being the best large SUV on the market today.” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “Designed by the same teams that created the Wards award-winning interior and user experience in the Grand Cherokee L and Grand Wagoneer, the Wagoneer L interior is the most spacious and user-friendly in its segment, offering premium features such as available Amazon Fire TV Built-in and exclusive McIntosh audio.”
