2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee: More Power, More Choice, and Proper Off-Road Hardware
The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee has become an unusually broad proposition. There is a new 324 hp Hurricane Turbo engine, a choice of 2 or 3 rows, seating for up to 7, a 6,200 lb. maximum towing capacity, and versions ranging from the decidedly serious Trailhawk® to the lavish Summit. For drivers around Thurmont, MD, choosing one is less about deciding on a Grand Cherokee and more about deciding what you expect it to do.
The New Hurricane Turbo Has 324 hp to Play With
The significant mechanical arrival is the 2.0L Hurricane Turbo 4-cylinder, producing 324 hp and 332 lbs. ft. of torque. The familiar 3.6L Pentastar® V6 remains available with 293 hp and 260 lbs. ft. of torque. Both engines can support a maximum trailer rating of 6,200 lbs. when properly equipped. Laredo begins with the Pentastar® and an 8-speed automatic, while Laredo Altitude receives the Hurricane Turbo along with available Quadra-Trac I® 4x4, Selec-Terrain® Traction Management, heavy-duty engine cooling, and a 3.70 rear axle ratio.
Two Rows or Three Changes More Than the Seat Count
The 2-row Grand Cherokee measures 193.5 inches long, seats 5, and provides 144.6 cu. ft. of passenger volume. Maximum cargo capacity is 70.8 cu. ft. behind the first row. The 3-row version stretches to 204.9 inches on a 121.7-inch wheelbase and accommodates as many as 7 passengers, increasing passenger volume to 159.1 cu. ft. Cargo space measures 17.2 cu. ft. behind the third row, 46.9 cu. ft. behind the second, and 84.6 cu. ft. with the rear seats folded. It's a meaningful difference for families deciding how often that third row will earn its additional length.
Trailhawk® Has the Numbers to Back Up the Badge
The late-availability Trailhawk® is where the Grand Cherokee stops pretending that off-road ability is merely a styling exercise. This 5-passenger model receives Quadra-Drive II® 4x4, a 2-speed transfer case, rear electronic limited-slip differential, Selec-Terrain® with Rock Mode, and Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension with Semi-Active Damping. There are skid plates, 265/60R18 all-terrain tires, 3 tow hooks, and a raised ride height. Set Quadra-Lift® to its Trailhawk® off-road position and ground clearance reaches 11.4 inches, accompanied by approach, breakover, and departure angles of 35.9, 24.4, and 30.3 degrees. Grand Cherokee models can also ford up to 24 inches of water within Jeep's stated limits.
Overland® Takes Its Capability with Nappa Leather
Overland® demonstrates that the Grand Cherokee's luxury and off-road abilities don't have to occupy separate ends of the showroom. Quadra-Trac II® 4x4, Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension, Selec-Terrain®, a Class IV hitch receiver, off-road front fascia, and 2 tow hooks provide genuine capability. Inside, Nappa leather seating, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, multicolor ambient lighting, a digital rearview mirror, and wireless charging change the atmosphere considerably. Three-row Overland® models seat 6 with second-row captain's chairs or 7 with the available bench.
The Technology Escalates Quickly
Laredo starts with a 10.1-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital Driver Information Display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking. Laredo Altitude increases touchscreen size to 12.3 inches, while higher trims can add a 360° Surround-View Camera, Night-Vision Pedestrian/Animal Detection, Head-Up Display, Hands-Free Active Driving Assist, and rear-seat Amazon Fire TV® entertainment. Summit reaches the other extreme with Palermo leather, front-seat massage, ventilated first- and second-row seating, 4-zone climate control, and a 950-watt, 19-speaker McIntosh® audio system.
