Key Differences
-
The Grand Wagoneer has 138% more cargo space
The Grand Wagoneer clearly leads on cargo (behind rear seats), and 27.4 cu ft versus 11.5 cu ft is a difference that reaches well beyond the spec sheet. Cargo space behind the rear seats is what you use every day for groceries, strollers and luggage.
-
The Sequoia has 115 lb-ft more torque
On torque, the Sequoia posts 583 lb-ft against 468 lb-ft for the Grand Wagoneer, a gap big enough to feel in everyday use. The Sequoia’s extra torque makes it more relaxed when fully loaded or towing.
-
The Grand Wagoneer has 8.4% more maximum cargo space
Close, but not identical: the Grand Wagoneer lists 94.2 cu ft and the Sequoia lists 86.9 cu ft. Maximum cargo space with the seats folded matters when you move furniture, bikes or bulky gear.

Engine & Performance
Sequoia leads
This section belongs to the Sequoia. In engine & performance, it leads the Grand Wagoneer by a margin that’s hard to ignore. The Sequoia pulls ahead with 115 lb-ft more torque. More torque means stronger pulling from low speeds, which you feel when accelerating from a stop or climbing grades. Anyone shopping mainly on engine & performance should start with the Sequoia.

Space & Practicality
Grand Wagoneer leads
The space & practicality comparison is one-sided. The Grand Wagoneer leads where it counts. The Grand Wagoneer has the edge with 138% more cargo space. The Grand Wagoneer’s larger cargo area makes family trips and big shopping runs easier. On space & practicality alone, the Grand Wagoneer gets the nod.
Cargo (behind rear seats)
Grand Wagoneer: 27.4 cu ft Sequoia: 11.5 cu ft Cargo figures are measured in different ways by different makers, so small gaps may not show in practice.
Cargo (seats folded)
Grand Wagoneer: 94.2 cu ft Sequoia: 86.9 cu ft The Grand Wagoneer can swallow more with the seats down, which makes it more versatile for occasional big loads.
Off-road & Towing
Too close to call
The off-road & towing specs are close enough that neither gets the point. For off-road & towing, pick whichever you prefer for other reasons.
