The new twin-turbo inline-6 makes the Wagoneer an even more complete package.
. We tested a 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L equipped with a Hurricane producing the base output to see if this engine is right for a big three-row SUV.Powering onto the freeway for the first time, the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged I-6, which Stellantis calls the Hurricane engine, muscled this big ute to speed without straining. The powerplant does a great impression of a V-8 in terms of its power band's linearity and unyielding twist.
Jeep's long and luxurious three-row SUV held it together on canyon roads too. Steering is light but precise and maneuverability impresses in parking lots and on curvy roads. A front/rear weight distribution of 51/49 percent certainly helps in the handling department. The adaptive air suspension does a good job at making the Wagoneer L drive like a smaller vehicle than it is.
The exquisite drivetrain pairs well with the Wagoneer L's available air suspension system, which automatically adjusts its ride height depending on velocity. At freeway speeds or in sport mode, the Wagoneer L hunkers down for a more aerodynamic stance. High speed stability is excellent. While plying the desert roads surrounding MotorTrend's testing facilities, the Wagoneer L played the part of a grand tourer, albeit one that looks like a blinged out brick.
The Wagoneer L drives itself down the road, with driver monitoring, reasonably well, but the lane keep assist isn't quite as good as we experienced in other SUV of the Year competitors. However, it holds speed perfectly with adaptive cruise control whether it's going up or down a hill. The automatic braking and throttle responses feel natural, and drivers won't mind letting the Wagoneer L take over for a while on a road trip.
Efficiency is right on target for the segment. A four-wheel drive Wagoneer L like this one should return 16/23/19 mpg city/highway/combined, figures that are in
