Jeep’s Wagoneer for 2023 begins at $58,995, offers new Carbide model

Jeep revived the name of the legendary sport-utility known as the Wagoneer for model year 2022, and this new version continues for 2023 with some tweaks and a new Carbide model.
With this newest version of the Wagoneer, you won’t see the “Jeep” name  on it. That’s because Stellantis, Jeep’s parent company, decided to make the Wagoneer line its own luxury nameplate.
Still, Jeep’s marketing material refers to the Wagoneer as “a premium extension of the Jeep brand while continuing its legacy as the original premium SUV.” So, even without the brand name on the vehicle, it’s still a Jeep.
For 2023, there are two versions of this new seven- or eight-passenger SUV: the Wagoneer, starting at $58,995 (plus $2,000 freight) for the entry-level model with rear-wheel drive, or $61,995 with four-wheel drive.; and the Grand Wagoneer, beginning at $88,640 for the base model, which comes only with Series I with four-wheel drive.
The mid-level Wagoneer Series II model starts at $68,725 with rear drive, or $71,080 with four-wheel drive. The top-end Wagoneer Series III model begins at $71,865 for the rear-drive model, and $74,865 for the four-wheel drive.
Stepping up to more luxury, the Grand Wagoneer comes only with four-wheel drive. The Series II model begins at $95,735, and the Series III at $107,995. 

New for 2023 is the Wagoneer Carbide model, which is the Series II level with the Carbide Appearance Package ($3,695) added to the base price. It’s available in two-wheel drive for $72,470, or four-wheel drive for $74,775 – the version we tested for this report.
With the Carbide package comes a tri-pane panoramic sunroof, Piano Black exterior accents, black interior accents, adjustable roof-rail crossbars, and a reversible cargo mat.
Our tester came with the premium River Rock…
