The Most Fuel Efficient Jeep Grand Wagoneer Gets 15 MPG City
The Most Fuel Efficient Jeep Grand Wagoneer Gets 15 MPG City-February 2024

2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

Did we travel back in time to the 2000s? There’s the all-new that’s a rolling symbol of American excess. Cadillac is making the Escalade bigger and faster with the V-series. Meanwhile, Jeep has decided it wants in on the extra-large, extra-luxury SUV market. While the new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer were released with the 6.4-liter V8, for 2023 the top of the Jeep line gets the all-new Hurricane, a twin-turbo straight-six engine that’s meant to improve the efficiency of the big-body trucks.

The EPA just released figures for the standard-length Grand Wagoneer equipped with the 3.0-liter turbo six with 2WD: 15 mpg city/21 highway/17 combined. Those figures make it the most efficient Grand Wagoneer you can buy.

Compare that to the same 2WD standard-length Grand Wagoneer powered by the 6.4-liter V8. That vehicle gets 13 mpg city /19 highway /15 combined, despite the fact that the 471-hp, 455 lb-ft V8 makes less power than the 510-hp, 500 lb-ft six-cylinder.

These numbers get worse when you choose the long-wheelbase Grand Wagoneer L. With the 510-hp Hurricane engine, you can expect 14 mpg city/19 highway/16 combined in your extra-long 2WD Grand Wagoneer, according to Jeep’s estimates (which could differ from the EPA numbers). Jeep plans to offer a lower-power Hurricane engine in the 2WD Grand Wagoneer L, making 420 hp and offering 17 mpg city/23 highway/19 combined.

If you’re wondering how four-wheel drive will affect your Grand Wagoneer’s mileage, it almost doesn’t make a difference. You lose one mpg each in city and highway figures if you pair a four-wheel-drive system with the I6. So it looks like any way you configure your Grand Wagoneer, you’ll be paying for it at the pump. The EPA estimates annual fuel costs at $4,350 for a six-cylinder Grand Wagoneer, whether it’s 2WD or 4WD.

2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series III

As of this writing, the is $4.32 — up 13 cents from a week prior. The new Hurricane engine is a $2,000 option on any Grand Wagoneer model.

At $2,500, Could This 1989 Buick Reatta Throw You A Curve?
At $2,500, Could This 1989 Buick Reatta Throw You A Curve?
Today’s Buick represents a rare car and a failed experiment. Let’s see if this somewhat ill-conceived former range-topping two-seater is now priced to be in our range. There was a lot to—ahem—dislike about yesterday’s . The effort to imbue it with Café racer looks was mostly successful, however, the...

With just 32K on the clock, today’s Z28 is a time capsule of what GM thought a pony car should be in the early ‘90s. Let’s find out if its price might mean you’d give it the time of day. Among all the simple joys in life, voting yea...

At $8,000, Could This 2003 Ford Excursion Limited 7.3 Be A Pretty Big Deal?
The 7.3-litre Power Stroke diesel in today’s Excursion is considered to be a member of one of the best engine families in Ford Truck history. That’s what makes these big beasts so desirable to their fans. Let’s see if this one’s price could be considered a stroke of genius....

This Lancia Flavia Could Make Me A Better Person
Some cars are a bad influence on drivers. That from a few weeks back certainly is one. Other cars, though? They can be the opposite, bringing out the best in someone, help them rise to the occasion. This Lancia Flavia looks to be one of those. On the face...

At $6,900, Could This Custom 1988 Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster Be Your Cup Of Café?
When you think Café Racer, you probably don’t picture Harley Davidson since that brand’s tall thumpers really don’t lend themselves to the form. Today’s custom Sportster may just change that image. Let’s see if it has also been priced to quickly change hands. By the pound, yesterday’s was probably...
