Jeep Wagoneer S

CarsDirect says while Jeep gave the Grand Wagoneer an update for 2026, the American brand is reportedly set to drop the more affordable standard Wagoneer, with Kelley Blue Book separately reporting the death of the Jeep Wagoneer after the 2025 model year, citing multiple Jeep dealers via Mopar Insiders; it notes the decision comes after Jeep slashed Wagoneer prices when its move upstream was met with poor sales. CBT News says Jeep is consolidating its top-end lineup under the Grand Wagoneer name with a lower starting price and simplified trim structure, as part of a multi-year brand turnaround plan under Stellantis, with the new 2026 Grand Wagoneer starting under $65,000 including destination. Stellpower says when the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer were separate models, the standard-output Hurricane engine delivered 420 hp in the Wagoneer, while the Grand Wagoneer had the high-output 540-hp version.

Q01Is there a best year to buy a Jeep Wagoneer S?

Q02Which Jeep Wagoneer S model years have the cleanest federal recall record?
