With the introduction of the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer, the latest fifth-generation 2021 GMC Yukon now has a new rival in the segment. As such, we’re taking a closer look at these two SUVs to see how they line up in terms of exterior measurements, interior measurements, and cargo room with the following GM Authority Dimensional Comparison.
Exterior Dimensions
Let’s start outside with a breakdown of the wheelbase, length, width, track, and ground clearance.

Whats w the erector set rear suspension on yukon??? FUGLY!!
I am sure next time they will be sure to make the suspension prettier for you.
For $75K I hope so!!!! I wont follow like a lemming and ignore such amateur engineering efforts…..
I guess I’m the only one but the Dash of the Grand Wagoneer looks horrible and minivan like. The rear portion of the Cab exterior looks like a huge afterthought. The front looks like a Chevy Tahoe if you cover part of the bumper under the headlights. The only thing it has going for it is the beautiful seats. But then again to compare it to the Yukon is flawed when this is Stellantis luxury trim.
Lastly the engine stats aren’t even fair, don’t include the rudimentary electric assist motor and you’d have a comparable stat. Stellantis is taking a page from the “Hybrid” GM SUVs 2 gens ago
I agree that I don’t like the dash in the Wagoneer but for different reasons. It’s all about being flashy. How many damn people laces do they need to splash the Wagoneer emblem. That’s tacky, not luxury. Plus all the screens in n the Grand Wagoneer are too much from my perspective and tons of piano black. In this type of vehicle, dust and finger prints will be everywhere.
The fron of the jeep now looks like a Norelco razor. And the rear is horrendous.
For the price they want, it looks nice but when you look closely, it isn’t that special.
The side profile of the Wagoneer is really unattractive. Wait… that’s being too nice. It’s hideous.
