2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4×4: Full Review

The 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II 4×4 is the right choice for families who need genuine seven-passenger luxury, serious towing muscle, and all-weather confidence in a single vehicle. Powered by a twin-turbocharged HEMI® 3L engine producing 510 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque, it tows up to 9,450 lbs, seats seven across three rows, and carries about 44 cu ft of cargo — all wrapped in a premium cabin that competes directly with the Cadillac Escalade ESV and Lincoln Navigator L.

The Series II Obsidian 4WD starts at a base MSRP of $107,440, with a destination charge of $2,000, bringing the as-delivered starting price to $109,440. That positions it squarely in the upper tier of full-size luxury SUVs, where it competes against vehicles like the GMC Yukon XL Denali and Infiniti QX80.

For buyers researching the total cost of ownership, it helps to think beyond the sticker. The Grand Wagoneer L runs on premium unleaded fuel and returns 14 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined MPG— reasonable for a nearly 6,700-pound luxury hauler with this level of power. A 30.5-gallon fuel tank delivers a calculated range of 518 miles per fill, which matters on long drives across Kansas.

Optional packages — including the Convenience Group III, HD Trailer Tow Group, Rear Seat Video Group I, and Flexible Seating Group— allow buyers to customize the vehicle to their specific needs. Interior trim choices include Global Black Leather, Blue Agave Palermo Leather, and Sea Salt/Black Palermo Leather, while exterior finishes range from monotone to the dramatic Two-Tone Paint Group pairing body colors with High Gloss Black accents.

Valor CDJR currently has a pre-owned Grand Wagoneer L Series II available — a Bright White Clearcoat example with Global Black leather and the Quick Order Package 28T Obsidian among its options. Shoppers interested in exploring our pre-owned Grand Wagoneer L inventory can browse current availability and pricing online before visiting the showroom.

A 6,685-pound luxury SUV needs a powertrain worthy of the task — and the HEMI® 3L twin-turbocharged inline-six delivers without reservation. With 510 hp at 5,700 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque arriving at 3,500 rpm, this engine produces its full twist low in the rev range, where it matters most for passing on two-lane Kansas highways or pulling a loaded trailer up a rolling Flint Hills grade.

The TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission (code 8HP75) pairs with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a manual mode for moments when you want direct control over gear selection. The transmission includes a mode-select function and operates with full terrain-response integration.

The Quadra-Drive® II full-time 4WD system handles all-wheel drive automatically, distributing torque front and rear without driver intervention. A rear electronic limited-slip differential ensures traction when one rear wheel loses grip — valuable on the gravel back roads that connect Riley County farmland to paved highways. The system supports both full-time and part-time 4WD modes, a descent control system for tackling steep terrain, and a terrain type selection that adjusts both the suspension and the traction/stability systems simultaneously.

The suspension is fully independent front and rear — a wishbone setup up front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear — with air springs at both ends and automatic self-leveling. An electronic adaptive suspension responds to road conditions and driver inputs in real time, and the driver can select suspension modes to suit the situation. Ground clearance stands at 10 inches unladen, with an approach angle of 25 degrees, a breakover angle of 20.4 degrees, and a departure angle of 21.3 degrees. Car and Driver describes the Grand Wagoneer as "a muscle SUV dressed in a tuxedo, offering impressive acceleration and a refined ride" — a characterization that rings true given the powertrain's breadth of capability.

The Series II Obsidian 4WD carries a thorough standard safety suite that covers both passive protection and active collision avoidance — important for families navigating school zones, military base traffic, and rural highway driving alike.

Passive protection starts with 6 airbags: dual front airbags for driver and passenger, front side airbags, knee airbags for both driver and passenger, and side curtain airbags spanning all three rows. Every seating position across all three rows has a dedicated seat belt — front belts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment, and the third-row center position features a 3-point belt. Height-adjustable head restraints are fitted at all three rows, with 2 front, 2 second-row, and 3 third-row units. LATCH/ISOFIX child seat anchors are standard.

The active safety system is anchored by Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, which monitors traffic ahead from as low as 3 mph and delivers visual and acoustic warnings before triggering automatic emergency braking. The system activates seat belt pre-tensioners and brake lights as part of its response, and it operates at both low and highway speeds. Active Lane Management— Jeep's lane departure warning system — applies steering corrections when the vehicle drifts without a turn signal. Blind Spot Monitoring watches both rear quarters and alerts the driver to vehicles in the adjacent lanes. Radar-based Rear Cross Traffic detection warns of approaching vehicles when reversing out of a parking spot.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go maintains a set following distance in highway traffic and brings the vehicle to a complete stop in stop-and-go conditions. ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist with Stop uses cameras and sensors at the front, rear, and sides to guide parking maneuvers, with automatic braking if the system detects an imminent impact. A Surround View Camera provides a 360-degree overhead view for tight parking situations. Trailer Sway Control monitors trailer oscillation and applies selective braking to stabilize the combination — a meaningful feature when towing a boat trailer toward the lake on a windy Kansas afternoon. Multi-collision braking holds the vehicle after an initial impact to reduce secondary collisions, and an emergency call system connects occupants with emergency services automatically after a severe event.

The optional Convenience Group III package adds the Active Driving Assist Level 2 semi-autonomous system — which combines adaptive cruise with active lane centering for hands-on highway driving assistance — plus a night vision camera for detecting pedestrians and animals beyond the reach of the headlights.

The 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series II carries a structured warranty package that provides meaningful long-term ownership confidence. The basic vehicle warranty covers 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty extends to 60 months or 60,000 miles, protecting the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components — the most expensive items to repair — for five full years. Roadside assistance matches the powertrain term at 60 months or 60,000 miles, so Jeep's own roadside support program is available throughout the powertrain coverage period.

The fuel economy picture — 14 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined MPG— reflects the reality of moving a 6,685-pound luxury SUV with 510 hp. For families covering mixed daily driving, the 17 combined figure is a reasonable planning number. The 30.5-gallon tank and 518-mile calculated range mean fewer stops on longer road trips. The engine's cylinder deactivation and start/stop system work quietly in the background to recover efficiency during city driving and at idle.

Ownership costs also include the connected services subscriptions bundled with the vehicle: 6 months of satellite radio, 6 months of navigation traffic updates, 3 months of Wi-Fi hotspot service, and 12 months of Uconnect® Access remote services. Over-the-air software updates mean the infotainment and vehicle systems can be improved without a service visit.

For scheduled maintenance, Valor CDJR's service team is equipped to handle all Jeep-specific service requirements. Whether it's an oil change, brake inspection, or software update, booking a service appointment online takes just a few minutes and keeps your Grand Wagoneer L running at its best. Ask our team for current service offers when you visit.

Yes — and the extended-length body is the key reason. Second-row legroom measures 42.7 inches with captain's chairs that recline and slide electrically. Third-row legroom comes in at 36.6 inches with 38.5 inches of headroom, and the split bench seats three with 3-point belts at every position. The seating configuration is 2+2+3. For families loading up for a day at Tuttle Creek State Park or a drive to a Kansas State game, all seven seats are genuinely usable, not just technically present.

The Series II Obsidian 4WD is rated to tow up to 9,450 lbs with a payload capacity of 1,265 lbs. Standard trailer preparation comes on the vehicle, and the optional HD Trailer Tow Group adds a removable tow hook fixture, front recovery hooks, trailer hitch assist, and an integrated trailer brake controller. Trailer Sway Control is standard equipment. That towing rating comfortably handles a large boat, a horse trailer, or a loaded utility trailer for Riley County agricultural use.

The EPA-rated figures are 14 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined MPG on premium unleaded fuel. The 30.5-gallon tank supports a calculated range of 518 miles. Real-world economy will vary based on load, towing, and terrain, but the cylinder deactivation system and start/stop technology help recover efficiency during everyday driving around Junction City and on highway runs.

Standard ADAS equipment on the Series II includes Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with automatic emergency braking, Active Lane Management with steering intervention, Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist with Stop, a Surround View Camera, Rear Cross Traffic alert with radar, and Trailer Sway Control. The optional Convenience Group III package adds Active Driving Assist Level 2 semi-autonomous highway driving and night vision.
