Model-year changes

What's New for the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

The 2027 story centers on more turbocharged performance, updated cabin tech and a broader mix of capability-focused and premium choices.

Hurricane Turbo Power

The 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo delivers up to 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, paired with a Gen IV automatic transmission. Jeep lists it as standard on trims other than Laredo and Laredo X.

Trailhawk Returns

The Trail Rated Grand Cherokee Trailhawk returns for families who want everyday usability plus equipment aimed at traction, ground clearance, articulation, maneuverability and water fording.

Overland Steps Forward

Overland combines upscale comfort with serious trail hardware, including bright tow hooks, an air suspension, a two-speed transfer case and available 21-inch wheels.

More Screen Where It Counts

Laredo and Laredo X gain a new 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, while an available 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen anchors the broader technology story.

The decision that changes everything

Grand Cherokee or Grand Cherokee L?

Start with the number of rows you will use, not the badge or option list. The standard-wheelbase Grand Cherokee seats up to five. Grand Cherokee L adds a third row and seating for up to seven.

Choose the 2-row if...

You want seating for five, a 193.5-inch overall length and 37.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. Fold that row for up to 70.8 cubic feet.

  1. Compare the engines. If available, drive the Pentastar V6 and Hurricane Turbo back to back.
  2. Test your row count. Sit in every row you expect to use and practice entering the third row.
  3. Load the cargo area. Bring a stroller, golf bag, cooler or other bulky item you carry often.
  4. Try the camera views. Check visibility, the available 360° view and the Digital Rearview Mirror.
  5. Pair your phone. Test calls, maps, audio and wireless charging before the drive ends.
  6. Verify the tow setup. Ask for the exact rating, payload label and required equipment on that vehicle.
