2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Summit Obsidian: Manahawkin Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Grand Wagoneer Summit Obsidian
The Summit Obsidian starts at $95,985 MSRP before destination, a blacked-out styling package built on the Summit chassis. Obsidian black exterior accents and badging, 22-inch tinted or black-finish wheels, McIntosh premium audio, a front console cooler, dark walnut wood interior accents and night-vision with pedestrian and animal detection separate it from the trims below. The 420-hp Hurricane twin-turbo six and standard 4x4 are unchanged from the rest of the lineup. It's the pick for a buyer who wants Summit-level luxury with a darker, more understated exterior than the Summit Reserve's brighter trim, and it's available at Manahawkin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram on Route 72.
Summit luxury, styled in black
The Summit Obsidian takes the Grand Wagoneer's second-highest trim tier and wraps it in a monochrome, blacked-out theme: darkened badging, tinted or black-finish 22-inch wheels, and exterior accents that trade the brand's usual bright trim for a lower-key, more aggressive look. It's a styling choice rather than a capability one, similar in spirit to the Grand Cherokee's own Altitude-style blackout packages, just applied to Jeep's flagship SUV.
Where it earns real functional points is the equipment underneath the styling: McIntosh premium audio, a step up from the standard system lower in the lineup; a front console cooler for keeping drinks cold on the way to the shore; dark walnut wood accents inside; and night-vision with pedestrian and animal detection, genuinely useful on unlit backroads around the Pinelands after dark.
Where it sits against Summit Reserve
The Summit Obsidian and Summit Reserve share a chassis and roughly the same equipment tier, but the Reserve trades the blacked-out theme for a brighter, more traditionally luxurious presentation and adds the McIntosh reference system's full 1,375-watt, 23-speaker configuration along with hands-free highway driving assistance. If the darker look and the standard Obsidian audio system satisfy you, this trim saves roughly $5,000 over the Reserve.
