About the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer
With an overall Carivo score of 7.1/10, the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer earns a Good rating among the suvs we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Reliability at 8.7/10, while Performance at 6.6/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional suv — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate the Jeep Wagoneer's reliability at 8.7/10 — among the strongest in our suv database, reflecting the nameplate's track record and recall history. On safety it earns 7.5/10: respectable, if not class-leading — several competitors bundle more driver-assist tech as standard. Check your trim's official ratings at nhtsa.gov.
Performance at 6.6/10 is a genuine liability and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. The powertrain and chassis dynamics trail class rivals by a meaningful margin — don't overlook it. Technology comes in at 7.8/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $65,914–$88,944, 19 MPG, seating 8, the Jeep Wagoneer sits in the luxury tier of the suv market. The 8.5/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this suv delivers more than most of the class. At 1 year old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Bottom line: There's a case for the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer, but it needs the right buyer. Its performance scores trail the class, and several higher-rated rivals sell for similar money — comparison-shop before committing.
