2023 Jeep Wagoneer Interior and Cargo

As a high-end model, the Wagoneer comes standard with leather-trimmed seats. The base Wagoneer has Capri leather and you can have Global Black or Sea Salt and Black. We'd stick with the Black interior if you have small kids. The Series II and Series III get Nappa leather in the same available colors, but the Carbide's interior is only offered in Global Black.

The Grand Wagoneer offers real wood trim, but in the Wagoneer you only get faux dark wood trim. You can tell it's fake because it's just too smooth and the lines are simply too perfect to be the real thing. We don't mind, as it still looks good. It's a giant leap forward from the knock-off bur walnut Jeep used a decade ago. As standard, all Wagoneers get a TechnoLeather leatherette-wrapped steering wheel.

The trunk is impressive, even with all three rows in place, offering a standard 27.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity. This is more than enough for weekly tasks and even the monthly grocery shop. There's simply no need to fold them down to get access to usable space. If you do fold the third row flat, you can expand this to 70.8 cubes, while folding the second row flat gives you 116.7 cubes. If you can't fit it in a Wagoneer, you need a trailer. A power-reclining/folding function for the 60/40 third row is available on the lower trims and standard on the Series III.

Interior storage space is epic. Each row has at least two cupholders and a storage bin, and as standard, this SUV has eight USB charging ports. Each door also has a capacious pocket. You won't be hearing any complaints from the rear of this massive SUV.

At the price level, the Wagoneer boasts an impressive list of features. All models come standard with automatic full LED lights, an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, and a hands-free power tailgate. The interior ramps up the luxury, boasting several features you have to pay extra for in more expensive German rivals. Leather is standard, as are 12-way power-adjustable front seats that are heated and ventilated. The driver also gets a memory function for the seat and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Jeep adds keyless entry with push-button start, remote start, wireless phone charging, tri-zone climate control, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Jeep is seriously upping its safety game with the Wagoneer. As standard, the base Wagoneer has pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, full-speed forward collision warning with automatic braking, parking sensors front and rear, and a tire-pressure monitoring display perfect for off-roading. Naturally, a rearview camera is standard too. The other trims add adaptive cruise control with stop & go, active lane management, and rain-sensing wipers. The Carbide and Series III come with a tri-pane panoramic sunroof, while the Series III also boasts a head-up display.

All Wagoneers come standard with the Uconnect 5C infotainment system with navigation and a 10.1-inch touchscreen display. It's much faster than the old Uconnect system, and the graphics are a big step forward. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly. As standard, you get navigation, voice commands, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a six-month trial subscription to SiriusXM and connected traffic and travel services. Eight USB ports are standard.

Both models also ship as standard with an Alpine sound system consisting of nine speakers, a subwoofer, and an amplifier. A 19-speaker premium McIntosh sound system is available for the Series III. Another highlight on the options menu is the rear-seat entertainment package. It consists of dual 10.1-inch screens running Amazon Fire TV for Auto, and a USB/HDMI ports for external videos.

You can also add an interactive display for the front passenger. It's a 10.25-inch touchscreen in front of the passenger seat that gives them access to functions like media and navigation. The passenger can also use it for entertainment purposes without distracting the driver. We suspect Jeep just included this as an option so it could state that it has a high number of screens. It serves no real purpose, as the passenger can easily just lean over and use the main infotainment hub.
