It carries forward the confidence drivers expect from Jeep while adding thoughtful updates that make the cabin smarter, the ride more convenient and the overall ownership experience more connected.
At Don Johnson’s Hayward Motors Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we know many SUV shoppers want a vehicle that can handle a full life without feeling oversized or difficult to enjoy every day. The 2027 Grand Cherokee fits that balance nicely, offering two-row and three-row Grand Cherokee L configurations, available 4×4 systems, impressive towing capability and a premium interior feel across the lineup. For drivers serving Ashland, Superior, and Bayfield, this SUV stands out as a versatile option with real substance behind its style.

The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee is designed around choice. The two-row model offers seating for up to five passengers and generous cargo room, while the Grand Cherokee L expands the layout with three rows and available seating for up to seven. That means shoppers can choose a more compact, easygoing SUV for everyday use or move into the longer Grand Cherokee L when extra passenger space is a priority.
Cargo flexibility is one of the model’s strongest advantages. The two-row Grand Cherokee offers up to 70.8 cubic feet of cargo room with the second row folded, while the Grand Cherokee L provides up to 84.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. With all seats in place, the Grand Cherokee still gives families useful room for groceries, school bags, sports equipment, luggage or work gear. It is the kind of SUV that adapts quickly instead of forcing every drive to fit one layout.
