The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer introduces refined design, new powertrain options, and a simplified model structure under a unified Jeep identity. With fresh badging, a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) option, and an updated exterior and interior design, the Grand Wagoneer continues Jeep’s focus on capability and premium craftsmanship.

“Every Grand Wagoneer now proudly wears the Jeep badge, reinforcing its place within the Jeep family,” said Bob Broderdorf, Jeep brand CEO. “The lineup delivers premium features and accessible pricing that fit a range of customer needs.”

Unified Jeep Lineup

Starting with the 2026 model year, all Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models are consolidated under a single nameplate: Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This move simplifies the lineup, strengthens brand identity, and ensures a consistent customer experience across trim levels.


Powertrain Options

The 2026 Grand Wagoneer offers two powertrain choices:

  • Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV): Available later in 2026, this version combines electric driving with long-range flexibility.

  • 3.0L Hurricane Twin Turbo I-6: The gasoline-powered option returns, delivering high torque and towing capability.

Both powertrains are designed to provide balanced performance for family travel, towing, and off-road driving.


America’s First Range-Extended Electric Vehicle

The Grand Wagoneer REEV uses a 92-kWh liquid-cooled battery pack in a pouch-cell parallel configuration, positioned in the vehicle’s center for space efficiency and a flat floor.

Performance estimates include:

  • 647 horsepower and 620 lb.-ft. of torque

  • 0–60 mph in about 5 seconds

  • Over 500 miles of total range

Power flows from a 3.6-liter V-6 engine to a 130-kW generator, which produces electricity to recharge the battery or power the vehicle directly when needed.

“Our Hurricane engine delivers power and efficiency, while the REEV system adds all-electric performance with extended range confidence,” said Micky Bly, Stellantis senior vice president and head of global propulsion systems.

The REEV setup powers the wheels entirely through electric motors, providing smooth, quiet acceleration and consistent torque.

Hurricane Twin Turbo Engine

Returning for 2026, the 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six generates 420 horsepower and 468 lb.-ft. of torque, supporting up to 10,000 lbs. of towing capacity.

Key performance and efficiency features include:

  • Strong, smooth power delivery suited for heavy towing and long-distance driving
