All the trim options of the Grand Wagoneer is powered by a standard 6.4L V8 engine, while an optional 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo Inline6 engine, both these engines come equipped with a Four wheel drivetrain and an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard. The optional 3.0L Inline6 engine is standard from the Series II trim, and the base engine can generate an engine output of 471 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque, and it can complete a 0 to 60 MPH run in 5.4 seconds and 13.9 seconds in the quarter-mile mark. On the other hand, the new Inline6 engine generates 510 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque and beats the V8 engine in terms of acceleration. Moving a three-ton SUV quickly requires a lot of power, but the Grand Wagoneer's V8 engine is up to the challenge and can tow up to a maximum of 8,260 lbs. Power is delivered right away, shifting is effortless, and there is no weight penalty when accelerating. Instead, the 6.4L engine is quiet and smooth, the accelerator response is linear, and the eight-speed automated transmission shifts completely unnoticeable.

2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Ride and Handling
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is extremely simple to drive despite its enormous size. For its size, it is surprisingly nimble, allowing for confident U-turns and backing into confined urban spots. It is still a massive, heavy, and awkward vehicle to move about. Surprisingly, the suspension controls uncomfortable body rollover bends. The Grand Wagoneer has seven standard driving modes including Auto, Tow, Snow, Mud, Sand, Rock, and Sport, and the car may be driven in any of the relevant situations thanks to these modes, which make it absurdly simple. The adaptive steering system is yet another appealing feature, with responsiveness and communication to the driver. Unfortunately, the large SUV will seem rather out of place in a city setting, and if you decide to venture into a winding country road, things will become noticeably less comfortable. Furthermore, it offers a calm and steady ride over various terrains, especially considering that they are equipped with the Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system, Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, active two-speed transfer case, Selec-Speed control, and other features. Simply put, the Grand Wagoneer prevents bumps and undulations from entering the cabin.
2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Braking Performance
The 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer comes equipped with a set of brake rotors measuring 14.9 and 14.8 inches at the front and at the rear, and even with an excessive curb weight of 6,340 lbs, it manages the vehicle from a 60 MPH to a complete standstill in 134 feet. For a large luxury SUV, the brake pedal is softly responsive and simple to manipulate, allowing for a very smooth stop. Furthermore, this SUV comes equipped with front-vented discs, 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS system, brake assist, hill descent control, hill hold control, and an electric parking brake to ensure its competitive performance.
