Jeep’s All-New 2021 Grand Wagoneer Wins Carbuzz 2021 Family Luxury Award

In 1963, Jeep released its first iteration of the Grand Wagoneer. As one of the brand’s first full-size SUV designs, it provided an interesting contrast to the existing lineup of off-road SUVs. The Grand Wagoneer was built for a few decades, and underwent several refreshes until it was retired in 1994, after which the brand’s flagship model became the Grand Cherokee. However, in 2021, Jeep decided to revisit this model, and build it into an impressive large SUV embodying all the opulence of top American luxury models.

 

Differentiating features include the best-in-class passenger volume and advanced technology, a new Uconnect 5 infotainment system, front passenger interactive display, premium McIntosh audio system, and a built-in Amazon Fire TV system, a first for the industry. Additionally, with 75 inches of configurable screens, Jeep has ensured that all passengers can remain connected and entertained, even on the longest drives. 

 

As a Jeep, designers have ensured that this car isn’t just all design. It also does justice to the brand name by offering superior capability. A best in-class 10,000 lb towing capacity ensures that no matter what drivers might need to tow, the Jeep won’t be caught off guard. Additionally, 24 inches of water fording ability, a Quadra-Lift air suspension with 10 inches of ground clearance, a 48:1 crawl ratio, and a Selec-Terrain traction management system all ensure that the SUV is no slouch compared to its less luxurious Jeep siblings.

 

With this much size and comfort, the Jeep is a superior choice for the outdoor enthusiast family that also values supreme luxury alongside rugged performance. For this reason, it wins Carbuzz’s Family Luxury Award. The magazine’s managing editor, Jake Lingeman, notes that “The amount of Luxury in the Grand Wagoneer is nothing short of staggering." With praise like this, it is no surprise that the Grand Wagoneer is so lauded. In its first model year alone Jeep has hit a home run with this SUV. Undoubtedly, they will do even bigger things with subsequent iterations.
