Jeep Wagoneer
Jeep's original family-wagon name. The SJ Wagoneer arrived for 1963, a compact XJ-based Wagoneer ran from 1984 to 1990, and the name returned for 2022 on a full-size, body-on-frame three-row SUV. For 2026 that WS Wagoneer was folded into the Grand Wagoneer, and the name carries on in the electric Wagoneer S.
Generations, newest first
WS
Jeep Wagoneer (WS)
Revealed in March 2021, the WS Wagoneer revived the name on a full-size, body-on-frame SUV with a new steel frame, independent front suspension, and a standard third row seating up to eight. It was launched as part of a separate premium Wagoneer line; Jeep badges came back only when the range merged into the 2026 Grand Wagoneer. It started with a 392 hp 5.7 L V8 with 48-volt eTorque assist, then moved to the 420 hp Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six, standard across the range from 2024. A stretched Wagoneer L arrived for 2023, and for 2026 Jeep absorbed the Wagoneer into a cheaper, unified Grand Wagoneer lineup.

Jeep Wagoneer (XJ)
For 1984 the Wagoneer name moved to a dressed-up version of the new compact XJ Cherokee, meant to replace the full-size SJ Wagoneer, while the big SJ carried on as the Grand Wagoneer. It came as a plain Wagoneer and a Wagoneer Limited with woodgrain side trim, a bright grille, and plusher seats. Quad headlamps arrived for 1986. The base model ended after 1987, and the Limited lasted to 1990, when the Cherokee Briarwood took its place.

SJ
Jeep Wagoneer (SJ)
Designed under Brooks Stevens and launched in November 1962, the Wagoneer replaced the Willys Station Wagon with a lower, car-like body on the new SJ chassis it shared with the Gladiator pickup. It offered two-wheel or four-wheel drive, an overhead-cam six, and, rare for a 4x4, an automatic and independent front suspension. Kaiser added V8s and the plush Super Wagoneer in the 1960s; AMC fitted its own engines for 1971, introduced Quadra-Trac full-time 4WD for 1973, and moved the Wagoneer steadily upmarket with the Limited and Brougham. By 1983 it was a woodgrained luxury wagon, and for 1984 the top version carried on as the Grand Wagoneer.
