The Powerful and Efficient Hurricane Twin Turbo I-6 Wins Four Wheeler ‘2023 SUV of the Year’ For The New Wagoneer.
Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Four Wheeler 2023 SUV of the year, all terrain group has been announced. It is The 2023 Wagoneer, equipped with the all-new Hurricane Twin Turbo I-6. During the competition’s 50-year tenure, the Jeep® brand’s award-winning SUV lineup has secured the most awards overall, including last year’s award recipient, – the quickest, fastest and most powerful Wrangler yet.
4x4 enthusiasts all over Long Island, from the rugged terrain of the shorelines of Mastic Beach to the streets of Southampton, from Montauk to the Mall in Smithtown will admire and appreciate the style and luxury of the Jeep Wagoneer.
Four Wheeler’s SUV of the Year competition, open to all-new or significantly revised SUVs for the upcoming model year, culminates in the annual award judged by the editors of the 4x4 enthusiast publication.
Four Wheeler’s weeklong testing regimen includes track testing, including 0-60 and quarter-mile acceleration times, and 60-0 braking distance; and on- and off-road evaluation in the mountains and deserts of Southern California. Vehicles are subjected to a variety of off-road conditions, including sand, rocky trails, loose-surface trails, rutted backroads, loose dirt hill climbs, mud, snow, and ice. Night driving was also integrated into the competition to gauge the performance of each vehicle’s lighting equipment. According to Four Wheeler editors, the 2023 Wagoneer earned its place as this year’s SUV of the year.
“You might not look at the luxurious and plus-sized Wagoneer and realize all the capability that is lurking beneath its contemporary sheet metal, but it's there,” said Sean P. Holman, Four Wheeler Content Director. “The big Wagoneer is going to get the family down the road in comfort and style and right past the trailhead. The traction control is exceptional, the suspension supple, and that new I-6 engine is a powerhouse of torque and refinement. We didn't go into the test thinking the Wagoneer would win, but it earned every vote thanks to how well it did everything we asked of it.”
“Four Wheeler’s comprehensive 2023 SUV of the Year testing proved that Stellantis has eloquently achieved the elusive task of creating a full-size SUV that can dominate challenging terrain including rocky trails, mud, and snow,” said Ken Brubaker, Editor, Four Wheeler. “We found the Wagoneer’s Hurricane twin-turbo engine to be a powerhouse, the vehicle’s on-road manners are impeccable, and the fit and finish is superb. The Wagoneer demonstrated that it’s worthy of wearing the storied Wagoneer nameplate and the 2023 Four Wheeler SUV of the Year crown.”
