2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L: Your Luxury Shuttle for Whistler Adventures

When winter calls and the mountains beckon, Vancouver families know the drill: pack the skis, load the gear, and prepare for the drive to Whistler. But what if your SUV could turn that journey into something more than just transportation? The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L transforms the Whistler run into a premium experience, combining extended cargo space with three-row comfort and legendary Jeep capability.

Built on a stretched 3,302 mm wheelbase—178 mm longer than the standard Grand Wagoneer—the Grand Wagoneer L delivers the space Vancouver families need for ski trips, camping gear, and everything in between. With seating for up to eight passengers and cargo capacity that outpaces its shorter sibling, this full-size SUV proves that luxury and practicality can coexist on the Sea-to-Sky Highway.

At a Glance: Grand Wagoneer vs Grand Wagoneer L

Extended Cargo for Extended Adventures

The numbers tell the story. Behind the third row, the Grand Wagoneer L offers 1,206 litres of cargo space—53% more than the standard wheelbase model. That translates to room for four full ski bags, boots, poles, and a weekend's worth of gear without compromising passenger comfort.

Fold the third row flat and you unlock 2,005 litres of space behind the second row—enough for camping equipment, mountain bikes, or everything needed for a week-long Whistler vacation. The extended wheelbase doesn't just add centimetres; it fundamentally changes how Vancouver families approach road trips.

Key Cargo Advantages:

• 1,206 litres behind third row (vs 790 litres in standard wheelbase)
• 2,005 litres behind second row for extended hauling
• 3,305 litres behind first row for maximum capacity
• Flat load floor for easy sliding of long items
• Power liftgate with hands-free operation

Three Rows of Genuine Comfort

Extended wheelbase means extended legroom. Second-row passengers enjoy 1,085 mm of legroom—generous space for adults on the two-hour drive to Whistler. Third-row passengers aren't afterthoughts either, with 930 mm of legroom and 991 mm of headroom ensuring comfort for teenagers or adults on shorter trips.

The standard captain's chairs in the second row provide individual comfort and easy third-row access. Families preferring maximum seating can opt for the available 60/40 bench, increasing capacity to eight passengers. Either configuration maintains the refined Capri or Nappa leather trim that defines Grand Wagoneer's premium positioning.

Climate control extends to all three rows, with available four-zone automatic temperature control ensuring everyone stays comfortable from Vancouver to Whistler Village or cruising through Squamish. Heated second-row seats come standard on base Grand Wagoneer L, Limited, and Summit trims, while Summit adds ventilation for year-round comfort.

Power and Capability for Mountain Roads

The 3.0-litre Hurricane Twin Turbo engine delivers 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque—power that makes light work of the Sea-to-Sky Highway's elevation changes. The inline six-cylinder configuration provides smooth, confident acceleration while maintaining better fuel efficiency than traditional V-8 engines.

Quadra-Trac I full-time four-wheel drive comes standard, distributing power between front and rear axles for optimal traction on wet coastal roads or snowy mountain passes. The available Quadra-Trac II system adds a two-speed transfer case and Selec-Terrain traction management, giving drivers control over how the Grand Wagoneer L responds to changing conditions.

Powertrain Highlights:

• 420 hp and 468 lb-ft from 3.0 L Hurricane Twin Turbo
• Eight-speed automatic transmission with manual mode
• Full-time four-wheel drive standard
• Up to 4,472 kg towing capacity when properly equipped

Technology That Enhances the Journey

The 12-inch Uconnect 5C touchscreen anchors the Grand Wagoneer L's technology suite, providing direct control over navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration come standard, allowing seamless smartphone connectivity for the entire family.

The available 19-speaker McIntosh audio system transforms the cabin into a concert hall, delivering premium sound quality that makes the Whistler drive fly by. Rear passengers can enjoy the available dual 10.1-inch entertainment screens with Fire TV integration, keeping everyone entertained on longer journeys.

Advanced safety features include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, active lane management, and intersection collision assist—technologies that reduce driver fatigue on highway stretches and enhance confidence in urban traffic.

Which Grand Wagoneer L Trim Fits Your Needs?

Grand Wagoneer L starts the lineup with Capri leather seating, Alpine nine-speaker audio, and the full suite of advanced safety features. This base trim delivers genuine luxury without unnecessary complexity—ideal for families prioritizing space and capability.

Limited L adds Nappa leather upholstery, heated second-row seats, and upgraded 20-inch wheels. The 360-degree surround view camera simplifies parking in tight Whistler Village lots, while the available McIntosh audio system elevates every drive.

Summit L represents the pinnacle, featuring premium Nappa leather with Axis II perforation, ventilated second-row seats, and the 23-speaker McIntosh audio system. Dark Waxed Walnut open-pore wood trim and a suede headliner create an atmosphere worthy of the Grand Wagoneer name.

Practical Details for Vancouver Drivers

The 115.4-litre fuel tank—15.1 litres larger than the standard wheelbase—extends range between fill-ups. Combined with the Hurricane engine's efficiency, this means fewer stops on the drive to Whistler and more time enjoying the mountains.

Ground clearance measures 213 mm with standard suspension or up to 257 mm with the available Quadra-Lift air suspension. That capability handles Forest Service roads to backcountry trailheads while maintaining on-road refinement for daily driving in Vancouver.

The available power side steps deploy automatically, making entry and exit easier for all passengers—particularly helpful after a long day on the slopes. Roof rails come standard, ready to accept crossbars for skis, snowboards, or cargo boxes.
