Which is more your speed, the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer or Chevy Suburban? We’re here to take a closer look at each of these full-size SUVs, both of which are known for their powerful ride, roomy cabin, and modern conveniences. Once you know more, you should be better able to discern the SUV that’s right for you.
Price: 2023 Chevy Suburban
The 2023 Chevy Suburban is — by far — the less expensive option, starting at $55,200. If your family requires three rows of seating and a chassis built for adventure, the Suburban will do just fine.
On the other hand, the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, a luxury SUV, costs a bit more. Its entry-level trim model starts at $88,640. But if it’s luxury you’re after, this MSRP is actually very reasonable, especially when you consider what you get for your money.
Rich Interior Luxury: 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
There are four Grand Wagoneer trim models, and each one is very handsomely equipped with luxury features. The standard lineup includes leather upholstery, four-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats with massage settings, and heated second-row seats. This Jeep SUV is also loaded with the kind of conveniences you expect to see in the luxury segment, including power-adjustable pedals, a hands-free liftgate, and retractable running boards. In addition to the usual smartphone-friendly infotainment gear, the Grand Wagoneer adds a wireless charging pad and 19-inch McIntosh audio system.
Many of these features are optional for the 2023 Chevy Suburban. However, most are not standard equipment. But the Suburban does come standard with three roomy rows of seating, power-adjustable front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Like the Grand Wagoneer, the Suburban keeps you connected with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
Rugged Performance: 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
The Grand Wagoneer not only offers more power, but it also comes standard with sporty four-wheel drive, making it the best choice for adventurous drivers. Better yet, its standard adaptive air suspension means a very smooth, luxurious ride.

On the other hand, the 2023 Chevy Suburban offers three strong engine options. They might not be as powerful as what’s under the Grand Wagoneer hood, but they’ll do just fine when you’re getting this big Chevy SUV up to speed. Four-wheel drive is optional for the Suburban, making it easy to create an off-road-ready ride.

Tow the Biggest Camper: 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Anyone with an oversized boat or camper will appreciate the Grand Wagoneer’s best-in-class towing capabilities. With the right equipment, this luxury SUV can tow up to 10,000 pounds’ worth of your favorite toys.
With the 2023 Chevy Suburban, max loads reach 8,300 pounds. That’s not too far off, but the fact remains that anyone with a camper that weighs more will need the Grand Wagoneer.
