The All-New 2023 Grand Wagoneer makes its International Debut in the Middle East: Ushering a New Standard of Off-Road Capability, Technology and Luxury

Christian Meunier, Jeep® Brand CEO. “The all-new Grand Wagoneer was developed from the start with North America and the Middle East in mind. We engineered and tested the Grand Wagoneer in both regions to deliver the ultimate combination of luxury, technology, and best-in-class off-road capability.”

The 2023 Grand Wagoneer features a 25-degree approach angle, 24-degree departure angle, 22-degree breakover angle and a ground clearance of 10 inches/ 25.4cm. This combination enables up to 24 inches/ 61cm of water-fording capability.

The High Output (HO) Hurricane engine for the Grand Wagoneer is optimized for great performance (493hp /670 Nm of torque) while maintaining significant fuel economy during heavy use, such as towing.

Starting Price pre-VAT: $ 126,800.

OLD POST:
Yesterday, Mr. Meunier introduced the Grand Wagoneer in the middle east market (at UAE).

Some journalists covered the event on snapchat, so I took some interesting pictures,

below image shows that the Hurricane I6 Twin Turbo (HO) will come with 493 hp (not 510hp)

here you can see that the GW will come with some off road features:

• 145L fuel Tank
• onboard air compressor
• air induction sand separator

Thats what I have so far. If I managed to get something else, I will update this post.

I wonder why 493 hp... different octane fuel? Different definition of horsepower? Some tax thing that starts at 494 hp?

Pleased to see this engine. Shame it didn't come sooner.

Yeah, like 5 years ago.

Yeah, like 5 years ago.

I still would not buy it until Stellantis has 3 years to make it right.

I like the auxiliary fuel tank, makes sense if the vehicle will be used over long distances.
New engine, well, let's just say I'm not that much of a fan of their recent engineering. However, time will tell.

It could be due to the sand separator, which may limit the air.

 

[Dave Z]

Interesting. So some serious thought went into it.

What is the thing with the duck icon supposed to do?

What is the thing with the duck icon supposed to do?

I assume you mean the Selec Speed Control It's not really a duck. I've attached a clearer image from a different Jeep product.
This feature is basically a low speed cruise control for hill assent and hill decent.

What makes me wonder and this is a real pet peeve of mine with most modern 4x4 vehicles that you might use in the sand (Middle East = desert running)
From my 15 years of experience driving on the beach those low profile tires will NOT air down well. For me the lowest I'd want is a 70 series.
