ABOUT THE JEEP WAGONEER

The Jeep Wagoneer is a full-size, three-row SUV aimed squarely at families and buyers who want serious towing capability alongside premium cabin space. Revived for 2022 after a long hiatus, it competes with the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford Expedition. It targets buyers who need genuine utility without stepping into the Grand Wagoneer's luxury price tier.

VERDICT

The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 91 out of 100, an exceptional result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. Both frontal and side crash protection reached the full 5 stars. It has 1 recall on record, reflected in the score.

WHO IT IS FOR
  • new and teen drivers who want standard crash-avoidance tech
  • urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
WHAT REVIEWERS SAY

Reviewers generally regard the Wagoneer as a capable and comfortable full-size SUV that punches above its price point in interior quality and towing credentials. Most praise its refinement and space but tend to flag its fuel consumption and overall size as practical drawbacks for some buyers. It is broadly seen as a competitive, if not class-leading, choice in the segment.
