Key Features of the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo Engine
The 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine is one of the defining performance stories of the 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee. Paired with a Gen IV automatic transmission, this turbocharged gas engine raises the bar with up to 324 maximum horsepower and 332 pound-feet of maximum torque. Jeep® notes that this engine delivers impressive horsepower, torque and efficiency over the previous gas engine, giving the Grand Cherokee energetic response for merging, passing and climbing grades. It is standard on all trims except Laredo and Laredo X models, making it a central part of the Grand Cherokee lineup. For drivers who want an SUV that feels confident without feeling oversized, this powertrain offers a strong mix of refinement and muscle. It also supports the Grand Cherokee’s Best-in-Class Maximum Towing Capacity of up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, which adds meaningful versatility for families, hobbyists and adventure-focused owners.
Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4x4 Systems
The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee offers three available 4x4 systems designed to deliver confidence in different driving conditions. Quadra-Trac I® 4x4 System stays engaged for dependable all-weather performance and works with a brake lock differential to help provide the peace of mind expected from a Jeep® Grand Cherokee. The available Quadra-Trac II® 4x4 System and Quadra-Drive® II 4x4 System expand capability further for drivers who want enhanced control beyond everyday pavement. The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System adds another layer of adaptability by allowing the Grand Cherokee to switch between five specialized 4x4 drive modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow or Mud/Sand. With the turn of a dial, the SUV can be tuned for the surface ahead. This matters for drivers who move between highways, gravel lanes, boat ramps, campsites and rural routes, because the Grand Cherokee is engineered to feel secure when the path changes.
Trail Rated® Capability
The return of the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk® gives off-road-focused shoppers a serious reason to pay attention. The 2027 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk® proudly holds a Trail Rated® badge, which reflects capability in five key off-road areas: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording. That badge is more than a styling cue. It signals that this SUV is engineered for drivers who want genuine trail strength along with the comfort of a refined everyday vehicle. The Class-Exclusive available Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System is standard on Grand Cherokee Overland, Trailhawk® and Summit models, using electronic semi-active damping to help automatically lower the vehicle at highway speeds for optimal aerodynamics. When trails call for added clearance, the system can raise the vehicle to help clear obstacles. Grand Cherokee Overland also blends upscale comfort with serious trail-ready equipment, including an air suspension, 2-speed transfer case, bright tow hooks and a confident stance.
12.3-Inch Uconnect® 5 NAV Touchscreen
The available 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen is the centerpiece of the Grand Cherokee cabin’s technology experience. It brings a bold, immersive display to the dash and includes standard navigation, a trial membership for SiriusXM®, Apple CarPlay® support and Android Auto™ compatibility. For shoppers who rely on navigation, streaming audio, smartphone integration and easy-to-read controls, this system helps make the cabin feel intuitive from the first drive. Laredo and Laredo X models introduce a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, giving the lineup strong technology access across multiple trims. The Grand Cherokee also offers an available 10-inch full-color Head-Up Display that can project important driver information onto the windshield, helping keep attention forward. A 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display places essential vehicle data directly in the driver’s line of sight. Add the available wireless charging pad, and the cabin becomes a smart command center for daily driving and longer trips.
Flexible Two-Row and Grand Cherokee L Space
The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee is designed to fit real life, whether that means commuting, hauling gear, managing family schedules or heading out with friends. The two-row Grand Cherokee offers seating for up to five passengers and 37.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. Fold the second-row seats down, and cargo volume expands to 70.8 cubic feet. The Grand Cherokee L adds a three-row layout with seating for up to seven passengers, or up to six passengers with available second-row bucket seats. With all seats up, the Grand Cherokee L provides 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space, and when the second- and third-row seats are folded, cargo room expands to 84.6 cubic feet. Available second-row captain’s chairs, an available power-folding third-row bench and easy third-row access help make the Grand Cherokee L a smart choice for families who need more seating without moving into a larger, less versatile vehicle category.
