2023 Jeep Wagoneer L Models Debut With Escalade ESV-Beating Cargo Space
The 4xe is also available in Rubicon trim, which is all about off-roading. This one comes standard with goodies like locking front and rear differentials, 33-inch all-terrain tires, heavy-duty Fox shock absorbers, and rock sliders. Also, it comes with a couple of exclusive styling details, such as Rubicon hood decals.
Jeep Avenger — автомобиль 2023 года в Европе. Это первый серийный электрический Jeep
В Европе подвели итоги конкурса «Автомобиль года — 2023». Победителем назван первый серийный электрический Jeep — кроссовер Avenger. В голосовании за него отдано 328 баллов. На втором месте оказался электрический минивэн Volkswagen ID. Buzz (241 балл), на третьем — электрический кроссовер Nissan Ariya (211 баллов).
Несмотря на то, что Jeep Avenger — лидер, в техническом плане у него нет ничего примечательного: привод только передний, двигатель выдаёт 156 л.с., а тяговая батарея ёмкостью 54 кВт·ч способна обеспечить запас хода на уровне 400 км по циклу WLTP.
Помимо этих моделей, в европейский топ-10 также вошли: электрический кроссовер Kia Niro (200 баллов), гибридный кроссовер Renault Austral (163 балла), Peugeot 408 (149 баллов) и электрокроссоверы Subaru Solterra / Toyota bZ4X (133 балла).
Выбирают «Европейский автомобиль года» 57 автожурналистов из 22 стран Европы. Россия в этом году в конкурсе представлена не была.
Напомним, двумя днями ранее победителей премии «Автомобиль года» назвали в США. За океаном лучшим авто года назван лифтбэк Acura Integra, Kia EV6 — кроссовер года, Ford F-150 Lightning — пикап года.
2023 Jeep Wagoneer L Models Debut With Escalade ESV-Beating Cargo Space
The standard Wagoneer gets a Carbide Edition with dark styling touches.

The 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L debut to expand the model range with even larger offerings. For extra style, there’s also the Wagoneer Carbide edition with lots of dark accents.
The most important change is that the L variants have an additional 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) of wheelbase and an extra 12 inches (30.48 centimeters) of total length compared to the standard Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.

Big And Luxurious
The increased length provides 15.8 cubic feet (0.4474 cubic meters) more cargo space behind the third row of seats for a total of 44.2 cubic feet (1.252 cubic meters). Folding down the second and third rows offers 130.9 cubic feet (3.7067 cubic meters) of storage, and there’s enough space to fit a 4-foot by 8-foot sheet of plywood.
The table below puts these cargo numbers in perspective by comparing the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L against the comparable versions of the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. In terms of space behind the third row, the Wagoneer wins.
| Model | Overall Length (Inches) | Wheelbase (Inches) | Cargo Volume Behind Third-Row Seats (Cubic Feet) | Cargo Volume Behind Second-Row Seats (Cubic Feet) | Cargo Volume Behind First-Row Seats (Cubic Feet) |
| Jeep Wagoneer L | 226.7 | 130.0 | 42.1 | 85.3 | 130.9 |
| Jeep Grand Wagoneer L | 226.7 | 130.0 | 44.2 | 88.8 | 112.9 |
| Cadillac Escalade | 211.9 | 120.9 | 25.5 | 72.9 | 121 |
| Cadillac Escalade ESV | 227 | 134.1 | 41.5 | 94.1 | 142.8 |
| Lincoln Navigator | 210.0 | 122.5 | 20.9 | 63.6 | 103.3 |
| Lincoln Navigator L | 221.9 | 131.6 | 36.0 | 79.6 | 120.2 |
Aesthetically, not much separates the L variants from the standard Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Inside, buyers can get as much as 75 inches of total screen real estate from the digital instrument cluster, infotainment, front passenger display, and rear entertainment system. If that’s not enough tech, a 10-inch head-up display and a digital rearview mirror are also available.
There are seven- and eight-passenger seating layouts available. Depending on a customer’s needs, the second row can be a bench or a pair of captain’s chairs. The folks occupying the third row get two storage compartments, both of which hold 1.8 liters.
The 19-speaker McIntosh MX950 stereo is optional on the Wagoneer L Series III and standard for the Grand Wagoneer L Series I and Series II. In addition, the 23-speaker McIntosh MX1375 setup is available for the Grand Wagoneer L Series II and is standard on the Grand Wagoneer L Obsidian and Series III trim levels.
Under The Hood
Both SUVs are available with the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six Hurricane engine. In the Wagoneer L, the powerplant makes 420 horsepower (313 kilowatts) and 468 pound-feet (635 Newton-meters) of torque. The Grand Wagoneer L has 510 hp (380 kW) and 500 lb-ft (678 Nm). Regardless of output, the powerplant hooks up to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Jeep estimates the fuel economy to be 1 to 2 miles per gallon combined better than the current V8 offerings.
Three four-wheel-drive systems are available. Quadra-Trac I has a single-speed transfer case. Quadra-Trac II has a two-speed transfer case and can route as much as 100 percent of the available torque to the wheel with the most traction. Quadra-Drive II has an electronic limited-slip differential at the rear and has sensors that can anticipate low traction situations and proactively adjust the torque split.
The Wagoneer L comes standard with a coil-spring suspension. The Quadra-Lift air suspension is optional but is standard on the Grand Wagoneer L. The system has five height settings, including one that lifts the ride by 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) for a total of 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) of ground clearance.
Driving The Wagoneer:
The Carbide Edtion
The Wagoneer Carbide edition has some stylish upgrades. It has gloss black parts for the wheels, the grille texture, mirror caps, roof rack, and headlamp appliques. The grille rings are the color Black Onyx. Inside, the instrument panel and door panels have what Jeep calls a “technical hydrographic” finish. The upholstery on the seats is Global Black with stitching in the color Smoke, and the headliner is also black. The model comes standard with a panoramic tri-pane sunroof.
The Carbide will be available on the regular Wagoneer this spring. The Wagoneer L will arrive with it in the second half of 2022.
2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Preview, Specs, Features
These days, it looks like everyone talks about the all-electric Wrangler, which could arrive in a year or two. Meanwhile, the 4xe will remain the only electrified version of the legendary SUV, which features a plug-in hybrid setup and which is currently available in just a few versions of the SUV. We don’t expect to see significant changes for the next year, though some sources do suggest the possibility to see this powertrain available in more affordable versions.
Whether this happens or not, the overall layout will remain the same. The 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe will continue in the same way, based on the four-door Wrangler Unlimited. It offers a pretty capable powertrain, which is pretty efficient at the same time and which comes with a pretty decent all-electric range. Also, it is available in off-road-focused trim levels like Rubicon, so you may count on excellent off-road capabilities as well.
Since we probably won’t be seeing bigger changes for the next year, we expect that the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe will hit the market sometime in the last quarter of the year.
2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Design
Design-wise, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe will certainly continue in the same way. This particular version debuted in 2021 and it is part of the generation that has been around since 2018. As we already mentioned, this powertrain is available only in four-door models, though you may count on all kinds of customization options, including choices between soft and hard roofs, removable doors and similar things.
The same thing is with the interior design, which comes in Wrangler’s typical fashion. It offers a combination of modern dashboard design and nice but durable materials. Also, this powertrain is offered in higher trim levels only, so there is a pretty long list of standard tech and convenience features. With two spacious rows of seats, the Wranlger 4xe accommodates five adults with ease, while the cargo area also offers some pretty good numbers.
2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Powertrain
Of course, the most interesting part of the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is its powertrain. Unlike the Chrysler Pacifica, which was the first PHEV in FCA’s lineup, this powertrain isn’t based on a V6 engine, but rather on a smaller 2.0-liter turbo-four, which offers more torque and better efficiency. The max output goes all-away up to 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough to move this SUV from zero to sixty in about 6.5 seconds.
When it comes to fuel economy, you may count on about 20 mpg in standard mode and a pretty good 49 mpg-e in the all-electric mode. The system is equipped with a 17-kWh battery pack, which ensures up to 21 miles of the all-electric range.
Trim Levels
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe might be offered in more trim levels than the current model but the officials are still quiet on this matter. Currently, the plug-in hybrid is available in just three trim levels.
The first one is Sahara trim, which comes with a pretty long list of standard equipment. Some of the highlights are things like an 8.4-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, a Wi-Fi hot spot, HD Radio, satellite radio, a nine-speaker stereo, automatic climate control, additional USB ports, a 120-volt household-style power outlet.
The 4xe is also available in Rubicon trim, which is all about off-roading. This one comes standard with goodies like locking front and rear differentials, 33-inch all-terrain tires, heavy-duty Fox shock absorbers, and rock sliders. Also, it comes with a couple of exclusive styling details, such as Rubicon hood decals.
Finally, there is the High Altitude trim, which is mostly about visual upgrades and more convenience. The first thing you’ll notice is the set of pretty unique 20-inch wheels, while the fender flares and bumpers come in body color. On the inside, you may count on upgraded upholstery, a premium Alpine audio system and similar upgrades.
2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Release Date and Price
We expect that the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe will hit the market sometime in the last quarter of the year. When it comes to the price, it may become more affordable if the company is willing to offer this powertrain in lower trim levels. On the other hand, the current versions shouldn’t change much in this aspect. So, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara should start at around 54.000 dollars, while the off-road-oriented Rubicon should be available at around $58.000. Finally, the High Altitude should start at slightly under $60.000.

Timothy
Timothy has been an FCA enthusiast way before the two major companies merged. With an innate passion for muscle cars from the golden era, Ram trucks and anything that has a huge engine under the hood, it’s not hard to presume that Timothy is a true motorhead. On the other side, classic Italian sports cars have always had a special place in his heart, as a sense of style and sophistication is an integral part of his persona. For Timothy, FCA is a perfect match.
