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 most important updates in the 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee lineup. Standard on all trims except Laredo and Laredo X models, this turbocharged gas engine is paired with a Gen IV automatic transmission to help raise the bar for gas-powered Grand Cherokee capability. Jeep Brand lists the engine at up to 324 maximum horsepower and 332 lb-ft of maximum torque, giving the SUV responsive power for merging, passing, climbing grades, and carrying passengers or gear. It also supports a Best-in-Class maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, matching the available 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine in towing capability. For online shoppers comparing performance, this powertrain is compelling because it blends strong output with everyday drivability. It gives the Grand Cherokee the muscle expected from a Jeep® SUV while maintaining the smoothness and confidence drivers want in a modern family vehicle.

Available Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4x4 Systems

The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee offers three available 4x4 systems: Quadra-Trac I® 4x4 System, Quadra-Trac II® 4x4 System, and Quadra-Drive® II 4x4 System. The Quadra-Trac I® 4x4 System stays engaged for dependable all-weather performance and works with a brake lock differential to provide the confidence many drivers expect from a Grand Cherokee. For shoppers who regularly travel rural highways, unpaved access roads, wooded properties, or uneven terrain, available 4x4 capability can make the vehicle feel more composed and predictable. The available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System adds another layer of control by allowing the driver to select from five specialized 4x4 drive modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, or Mud/Sand. Instead of feeling like one SUV for one type of road, the Grand Cherokee can adapt to different surfaces and driving needs with the turn of a dial.

Trail Rated® Grand Cherokee Trailhawk®

The return of the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk® gives adventure-focused shoppers a serious reason to pay attention. The 2027 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk® proudly holds a Trail Rated® badge, which represents capability in five key off-road areas: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. This is not simply an appearance package; it is built for drivers who want their SUV to handle daily responsibilities while still being ready for more demanding travel. The Trailhawk® model is designed for people who pack gear, head toward remote destinations, and appreciate authentic Jeep Brand capability. Its trail-ready character is complemented by available and standard equipment across the broader lineup, including the Class-Exclusive available Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System on select trims. This system can automatically lower the vehicle at highway speeds for optimal aerodynamics and raise the vehicle to help clear off-road obstacles when conditions call for extra height.

12.3-Inch Uconnect® 5 NAV Touchscreen

Inside the 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee, technology feels central rather than secondary. The available 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen acts as the centerpiece of the cabin’s digital experience. It includes standard navigation and supports Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, helping drivers keep maps, music, messages, and compatible smartphone features within easy reach. A trial membership for SiriusXM® is also part of the available infotainment experience. This large display is especially helpful for drivers who prefer a clean, easy-to-read interface, whether navigating through town, finding a rural destination, or managing entertainment for longer drives. The Grand Cherokee also offers helpful available technologies such as a 10-inch full-color Head-Up Display, a 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display, a wireless charging pad, and a Digital Rearview Mirror. Together, these systems help create a cabin that feels premium, practical, and thoughtfully organized.

Grand Cherokee L Seating and Cargo Space

The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee is available in two-row and three-row configurations, allowing shoppers to match the SUV to their passenger and cargo needs. The two-row Grand Cherokee offers available seating for up to five and 37.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row, with up to 70.8 cubic feet when the second-row seats are folded. The Grand Cherokee L adds a third row, available seating for up to seven, and up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo room with the second- and third-row seats folded. It can also be configured with available second-row bucket seats for seating up to six. For families, carpoolers, and active owners, this flexibility is a major advantage. The available power-folding third-row bench in the Grand Cherokee L helps simplify cargo changes, while the available Hands-Free Power Liftgate makes loading easier when both hands are full. The result is an SUV that feels ready for groceries, luggage, pets, sports equipment, camping gear, and everyday cargo.
