Large families don't have to choose between passenger space, luxury, and serious towing ability. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer puts all three into a full-size SUV that can seat up to eight, and if you're wondering what's changing for 2027, we have all the details.
Key Takeaways
- Max towing capacity for the Grand Wagoneer is 10,000 pounds.
- There are no new changes to the Grand Wagoneer for 2027.
- The Grand Wagoneer has a little less horsepower than it did last year, but it's still a powerful SUV.
What Can You Expect From the Grand Wagoneer for 2027?
Jeep simplified the lineup for '26 by dropping the previous Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer naming arrangement and bringing everything under the Grand Wagoneer name. After making that change last year, Jeep heads into 2027 without any major updates.
How Does the Grand Wagoneer Put Its Ponies to Work?
A 420-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. That's less than the 540 horsepower offered by last year's Grand Wagoneer, but the engine still provides ample acceleration.
Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive available. Buyers can also opt for a more sophisticated four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case.
Air suspension is another option on lower trims and is standard on Summit models, and the system can raise the Grand Wagoneer to add 3.6 inches of ground clearance. Selectable drive modes include settings for sand and mud, snow, and rock.
How Does the Grand Wagoneer's Towing Rating Stack Up?
The Grand Wagoneer can tow up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped. That rating tops the Chevrolet Tahoe (8,100 pounds), Nissan Armada (8,500 pounds), Toyota Sequoia (9,100 pounds), and Ford Expedition (9,600 pounds).
What Mileage Does the 2027 Grand Wagoneer Get?
Both the standard- and long-wheelbase rear-wheel-drive Grand Wagoneer gets 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.
With four-wheel drive, the highway rating drops to 23 mpg. The least efficient configuration is the long-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer L with four-wheel drive--it gets 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined.
Is the Grand Wagoneer Spacious?
Of course! Standard seating capacity is seven, but you can add a three-person second-row bench to accommodate up to eight people. The third row is roomy enough for adults and taller teenagers.
Cargo capacity is generous as well, particularly once the third row is folded. In Car and Driver testing, the standard-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer accommodated seven carry-on suitcases behind the third row, while the longer Grand Wagoneer L held 14 in the same area.
What's the Tech Like Inside the Grand Wagoneer?
A 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen occupies the center of the dash, accompanied by a 10.3-inch digital gauge display for the driver. (A larger 12.0-inch gauge display is optional.) An available 10.3-inch screen built into the passenger side of the dashboard also provides access to navigation and entertainment. Rear passengers can get their own displays through an optional entertainment system with two 10.1-inch screens.
Jeep's Uconnect 5 system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, integrated navigation, Amazon Fire TV and Alexa, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Available McIntosh sound systems produce either 950 or 1,375 watts. Throughout the cabin, you'll also find three 12-volt power ports, a 110-volt household outlet, and eight USB ports. Adding the rear entertainment system increases the USB count to 11.
