The Jeep Wagoneer was long thought to be gone for good before the marque was revived in 2022 in its current form as a full-size SUV. Having had a short, but busy lifespan since its return, the 2025 model of the Wagoneer promises to bring much in the way of change - but is it all positive?
In this article, we’ll be looking at the comparisons between what the 2024 and 2025 model years of the Wagoneer have to offer, and giving you the scoop on what to expect from the two models, in this comparison of the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer’s interior and tech upgrades vs the 2024 model.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2024 Wagoneer debuted the new turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that replaced the outgoing V8.
- The 2025 Wagoneer saw a significant price cut over the base model being the highlight of the new model.
- The two models are quite similar, but there is one key difference maker we’ll cover in this article.
How much is a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer?
That depends! For 2024, Kelley Blue Book reports that the Jeep Wagoneer has four trims on offer, with the base Wagoneer model kicking off the price range with a starting MSRP of $64,945, with the range-topping Wagoneer Series III starting at $81,445. Given the year old nature of the model, you might be able to whittle that price down a bit, with Kelley Blue Book recommending paying $4,470 to $6,312 less than MSRP, depending on which trim level and optional equipment you tack on.
- Wagoneer $64,945
- Series II Carbide $70,042
- Series II $70,945
- Series III $75,133
For 2024, the big news of the new model was the removal of the 5.7L V8 engine, which was replaced with a more powerful and more efficient twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, capable of a respectable 420 horsepower. And overall improvement over the V8, though that classic rumble will certainly be missed.
Are they making a 2025 Wagoneer?
Yes! For 2025, Edmunds says you can expect the new Wagoneer to start off at an MSRP of $58,706, with the trim topping Series III boasting a price of around $71,743. A full list of the available trims reads as:
- Base (Most Popular) - Suggested price: $58,706
- Series II (Edmund’s pick) - Suggested price: $62,024
- Series II Carbide - Suggested price: $64,596
- Series III - Suggested price: $71,743
Of these, the Series II comes recommended by Edmunds, who think of it as the perfect mid-range price point of the Wagoneer.
Did Jeep drop prices on Wagoneer Grand Wagoneer by up to $7000?
Yes! Though it might seem hard to believe, it’s true! Car and Driver reports that for 2025, you can expect to see drastically lower prices on the Wagoneer, with the price cuts ranging from 3,000 to 7,000.
US Car Report notes that along with these price cuts, there’s some new features for buyers this year, including power folding mirror, 20 inch aluminum wheels, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control moving from add-ons to standard features. Now, it can be easy to see that features are being added and assume that it means a price increase, but in the case of the Wagoneer, there’s actually quite a significant price cut!
Is the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer better than the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer?
Both years of the Wagoneer are respectable in their own right, but it's the 2025 model that looks to be taking the lead in our head to head comparison. Boasting a slight edge on features and a majorly discounted price, it’s a hard pass to make. That being said, look for the 2024 model of this SUV to be competitively priced - in the hands of the right negotiator, that is.
