High-tech safety and security features
The 2023 Grand Wagoneer offers more than 120 safety and security features, including innovative applications of technologies that refine the connection between driver, vehicle and the road.
Segment-leading innovation
Grand Wagoneer arrives with a combination of class-leading safety features that enhance a driver’s field of vision, help make instrumentation easier to see and enable driver-assist capabilities that accommodate collision avoidance.
Grand Wagoneer features a new electrical architecture system that enables secure messaging in Controller Area Network (CAN) communications, which allows for enhanced driver assist features, such as Hands-free Active Driving Assist autonomous functionality.
Autonomous vehicle capabilities include Active Driving Assist hands-free active driving Assist (late availability) and ParkSense automated Parking System.
Active Driving Assist is the company’s name for Level 2 (L2) automated driving capability. The technology affirms the company’s march toward an autonomous future. Grand Wagoneer is available with Active Driving Assist for hands-on-wheel and eyes-on-road automated driving using lane centering with adaptive cruise control. The system uses multiple sensors, including radars and cameras to dictate appropriate roads for the technology.
Hands-free Active Driving Assist (late availability) offers hands-off driving at all speeds and lane centering on approved roadways, for even greater driving convenience. The system will predictively slow the vehicle down in tight curves, automatically resume control after driver override and verify that the driver is paying attention to the road.
Night Vision with Pedestrian and Animal Detection uses thermographic technology to augment the reach of the vehicle’s headlamps. Infrared sensors search for the heat signatures of pedestrians and animals in the road ahead, at distances up to 109 yards (100 meters). When located, their positions, relative to the vehicle, are outlined in the instrument cluster directly in front of the driver.
Intersection Collision Assist helps detect vehicles approaching from the driver’s left and right when nearing a crossroad. Four radar sensors and one camera determine if a collision appears imminent, prompting the system to provide audible and visual alerts. If the driver does not respond, the system automatically activates the vehicle’s brakes. The feature is standard on Grand Wagoneer models.
Drowsy Driver Detection tracks vehicle movement, such as lane deviation and interaction, such as steering wheel input over time, for driving behavior consistent with that of a drowsy driver. When certain thresholds are reached, the system responds with audio and/or visual cautions for the driver to pull over. If the driver fails to react in such circumstances, the system can intervene with steering wheel input and/or brake activation.
The Digital Rearview Mirror system replaces the conventional rearview mirror with a 9.2-inch LCD that shows real-time video from a rear-facing camera. Unlike a conventional rearview mirror, the digital camera system offers a view that is unobstructed by the D-pillars or rear seats. When not in use as a display, the screen reverts back to a reflective mirror by toggling the switch underneath.
An additional safety and security feature, standard on Grand Wagoneer, is Surround View Camera. The system offers 360-degree, bird’s-eye views of the vehicle and its surroundings, enhanced by dynamic gridlines displayed on a 10.1-inch or 12-inch digital touchscreen.
With front and rear lens washers, the system is enhanced by Front Park Assist, which helps the driver position the vehicle. The Surround View Camera is standard on Grand Wagoneer models.
Equipment levels on Grand Wagoneer are elevated even further with ParkSense automated parking system, which uses ultrasonic sensors to guide the driver into parking spaces. Stellantis is the first automaker to use this technology with a live, dedicated view on the infotainment screen for easy viewing.
A full suite of LED lighting includes LED headlamps that provide exceptional performance with a balanced beam of light that minimizes glare for oncoming traffic, while doubling the light output directly in front of the vehicle for improved illumination of the road ahead. Side lighting improves visibility while cornering and is activated by either steering wheel angle input or turn signal activations when the headlamps are on.
The body-on-frame’s design features innovative engineering that leverages the attributes of high-strength steel to help direct crash energy away from the cabin. It also features eight air bags: driver front, driver knee, passenger front, passenger knee, left first-row side, left-side curtain, right first-row side and right-side curtain airbags.
As standard equipment, active head restraints help mitigate injury risks associated with rear collisions, while there are three LATCH positions for safety-seat placement when the vehicle is configured with a second-row bench.
Three available 4×4 systems are the foundation of legendary capability
Three available 4×4 systems (Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II), an available Quadra-Lift air suspension and Selec-Terrain traction management system, instill this premium SUV with legendary capability.
Quadra-Trac I delivers full-time four-wheel drive without any switches to push or levers to pull, the Quadra-Trac II’s two-speed transfer case uses input from a variety of sensors to determine tire slip at the earliest possible moment and takes corrective action, and Quadra-Drive II, with a rear Electronic Limited-slip Differential (ELSD), delivers industry-leading tractive capability. The system instantly detects tire slip and smoothly distributes engine torque to tires with traction. In some cases, the vehicle will anticipate low traction and adjust in order to proactively limit or eliminate slip.
The 2023 Grand Wagoneer features a 25-degree approach angle, 24-degree departure angle, 22-degree breakover angle and a ground clearance of 10 inches/ 25.4cm. This combination enables up to 24 inches/ 61cm of water-fording capability.

The 2023 Grand Wagoneer features an all-new architecture that delivers sophisticated on-road driving dynamics, a lightweight, durable body-on-frame design, composed 4×4 capability and best-in-class towing.
Substantial emphasis was placed on designing an all-new body-on-frame structure that uses high-strength steel to bolster vehicle performance, safety, reliability and reduce overall weight. Premium driving dynamics and refined on-road manners are thanks, in part, to a front and rear independent suspension. New front independent double wishbone suspension components combine lightweight composite upper control arms, aluminum lower control arms and geometry tuned for responsiveness and handling. The front stabilizer bar sits behind the front tires, further enhancing roll stiffness. A rear multi-link, coil-spring suspension provides a superior on-road ride, bolsters handling and provides better articulation over obstacles.
Grand Wagoneer comes standard with an air suspension system with electronically controlled semi-active damping which further enhances ride quality.
