The Turbocharged and Stretched Jeep of Your Dreams
Jeep is rolling out their new and improved 2023 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer with the L Series. What does the “L” stand for you ask? Well, great things we answer. Actually, it just stands for long, but let’s get into why! In stereotypical American fashion, the already gigantic Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are getting super-sized with the introduction of new long-wheelbase variants for the 2023 model year. Jeep is keeping up efforts with domestic rival competitors such as the Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition Max, and the Lincoln Navigator L which are all extended versions of their respective nameplates.
Coming in hot, these new three-row SUVs have a longer wheelbase, more cargo space, and standard Hurricane engines. The “L” versions of the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer add 7 inches between their axles and 12 inches overall, greatly improving cargo space. Since the wheelbase grew in both models by an identical 7 inches, they are now measured at 130 inches long. Additionally, their overall length is extended by an entire foot to 226.7 inches. This growth spurt is any soccer mom’s dream! However, it does not contribute to passenger volume, just a noticeably larger cargo space.
Depending on which rows of seats are stowed, the Wagoneer L offers between 42- 131 cubes of cargo volume compared to the regular Wagoneer’s range of 27- 117 cubes. The Grand Wagoneer L actually has slightly less passenger space, 173 cubic feet versus 176, but we promise you won’t miss those 3 cubic inches but we’ll make up for it anyway. Speaking of, it has considerably more cargo space than the non-L Grand. It provides an extra 19 cubes, adding up to 113 total, behind the first row and an extra 17 cubes, adding up to 44 total, behind the third.
More Power for the People!
Wagoneers not only have elongated space in the hindquarters for storing stuff, but both L Series models come standard with Stellantis’ new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. That’s a lot of car jargon, but let’s break it down. This engine has been coined the “Hurricane” and the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L mark the formal debut of this engine. It pairs solely with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-, all-, or four-wheel drive. The previous models have the standard-output version that makes 420 horsepower and 468 pound-feet of torque, while the L Series has the high-output version with 510 horses and 500 pound-feet of torque. If you want even more towing capacity, the 510-hp version is currently available as an upgrade on 2022 Grand Wagoneers. With the standard wheelbase alone the stretched variant can tow up to 10,000 pounds! That’s a lot of lake time!
A Comparison
Comparing the 392-hp 5.7-liter V8 and standard V8, the L variants and their turbo-six need a bit less fuel. The standard-output Hurricane engine is rated at 19 mpg combined, 1 mpg higher than the new 5.7-liter model. The high-output Hurricane engine is rated at 16 mpg combined, 1 mpg more than the 6.4-liter.
The Jeep L Series Wagoneer come with fuel tanks that are four gallons bigger. The company says the stretched models weigh about 200 pounds more than their shorter counterparts. While improving gas mileage by 1 mpg is a win, you might be spending more on gas to fill up. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, but oh to dream if it were free to drive the crew around!
