When you need a vehicle that can accommodate more than five people at a time and can tow a large trailer, there’s really only one option for you, and that’s a big truck-based (body on frame) SUV. Only a handful of car manufacturers offer one, but the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer in Las Cruces, NM is the newest contender to join the segment. It was recently re-introduced for the 2022 model year and is a significant competitor to the Ford Expedition and the Chevy Suburban.
Changes for 2023
The Jeep Wagoneer returns this model year with a lengthier Wagoneer L and a posher Grand Wagoneer L. These models add another foot of length, with a bit more than half being allocated to a longer wheelbase, giving your passengers even more space. A new blacked-out appearance package called Carbide is also available; with it, you get black exterior trim details, gloss-black wheels, and unique trim and upholstery inside.
Another modification is the addition of two twin-turbo inline-6-cylinder engines that improve upon the V8s from last year. One puts out 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque for the Wagoneer, and the other delivers a robust 510 hp with 500 lb-ft of twist in the Grand Wagoneer. Fuel efficiency also improves with the straight-6 engines.
Power and Performance 2023 Jeep Wagoneer in Las Cruces, NM
With a big mover like the Wagoneer, you need power, and every engine offered delivers more than enough of it. Only under the hood of the base Wagoneer will you find the same 5.7-liter V8 as last year’s models, which spins out 392 hp and 404 b-ft of torque. Assisted by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, it growls like the classic American V8. The base Grand Wagoneer is more powerful and louder, with an output of 471 horses and 455 lb-ft. An effortless 8-speed automatic transmission is paired with every engine and helps the entire Wagoneer lineup tow up to an incredible 10,000 pounds.
Although the Jeep Wagoneer is heavy, you and your passengers will enjoy a velvety-smooth ride, courtesy of its softly tuned suspension. Because it’s somewhat top-heavy, you won’t be whizzing around curves, but the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer in Las Cruces, NM is built for cruising anyway. It handles well and will make road trips a pure joy.
Rear-wheel drive is standard, yet you can opt for four-wheel drive if you need off-road capability. In addition, there are three AWD systems to choose from, with differing degrees of ability. An adjustable air suspension is available, which will raise the Wagoneer to give it an extra 3.6 inches of ground clearance. There’s also an optional drive-mode selector system with sand/mud, snow, and rock modes to increase the AWD capability.
Interior Comfort and Amenities
As you can imagine, inside the Jeep Wagoneer you’ll find a wealth of passenger and cargo space within an opulent cabin, along with loads of standard tech, comfort, and driver-assist features. In fact, the 2023 Wagoneer has one of the best interiors among the large SUV class. You’ll find nothing but top-quality materials with an exceptional fit and finish inside Jeep’s top-tier SUV. Leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, three-zone auto climate control, and 12-way power adjustable front seats are just a few of the standard luxury features you’ll get. It provides seating for eight when equipped with the second-row bench seat, but seating capacity is reduced to seven when outfitted with the second-row captain’s chairs.
Standard infotainment features include Amazon Alexa, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, navigation, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, eight USB ports, and a 9-speaker Alpine audio system. Many desirable driver-assist features are standard as well; lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and pedestrian detection are some examples. There are too many available features to list; know you can opt for a plethora of extras.
