2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer rated at a thirsty 15 L/100 km by U.S. EPA


Text
Jeep’s new Grand Wagoneer is more than just a rehash of an old name — it’s an upscale take on the modern SUV, adorned with as much luxury as the brand can muster. Unfortunately, the addition of all that comfort will apparently also put the pain into buyer’s wallets, particularly at the pumps.
The Grand Wagoneer is powered by a massive 6.4-litre V8, which provides 471 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels.
All that power makes for an effortless ride, but, unfortunately, brings the average fuel consumption down to an abysmal 15 mpg combined (about 15.7 L/100 km) according to the U.S. EPA. The governing body also rated the mileage in the city at 13 mpg (18.1 L/100 km); and 18 mpg (13.1 L/100 km) on the highway.
The more environmentally friendly choice is the standard Wagoneer, which is powered by a 5.7-litre V8 paired with a 48-volt hybrid system. A similar system is used in the Ram 1500, which manages to sneak in two more mpg.
The news isn’t great for those that will be cross-shopping with big SUVs from other brands such as the Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade. The Navigator is rated at an EPA-estimated 16 mpg city; 20 mpg highway; and 17 mpg combined, thanks in a large part to its twin-turbocharged V6. The Escalade manages 16 mpg combined; 13 mpg city; and 19 mpg highway.
FCA has never really been concerned about fuel economy, to be fair — after all, this is the brand that brought us a street-legal drag car with over 800 horsepower, and that has made every attempt to drop its supercharged V8 into anything with four wheels.
Neither the Wagoneer or the Grand Wagoneer have been officially rated by NRCan (Natural Resources Canada) so we’ll have to wait to see how many litres exactly the Jeep will drink once it hits our pavement.
