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 for the 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee because it brings strong gas-powered performance with impressive efficiency over the previous gas engine. When paired with the Gen IV automatic transmission, this turbocharged engine produces up to 324 maximum horsepower and 332 lb-ft of maximum torque, giving the Grand Cherokee confident response when merging, passing or climbing grades. It is standard on all trims except Laredo and Laredo X models, and it helps support the SUV’s Best-in-Class Maximum Towing Capacity of up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped. That matters for drivers who need a family SUV during the week but also want strength for a small camper, utility trailer, boat or outdoor equipment. The 2027 Grand Cherokee also offers the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine, giving shoppers another familiar powertrain option. Together, these choices reinforce the Grand Cherokee’s reputation as an SUV with the power and capability expected from the Jeep Brand.

Three Available 4x4 Systems

The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee offers three available 4x4 systems, each designed to help drivers match capability to their needs. Quadra-Trac I® 4x4 System stays engaged for dependable all-weather performance and is paired with a brake lock differential for added confidence. Quadra-Trac II® 4x4 System and Quadra-Drive® II 4x4 System build on that foundation for shoppers who want even more traction management. The available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System lets the Grand Cherokee switch between five specialized 4x4 drive modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow or Mud/Sand. That simple dial-based control helps the SUV adapt to road and trail conditions without asking the driver to overthink the process. The Trailhawk® model proudly carries a Trail Rated® badge, signifying capability in five key off-road areas: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording. For drivers near Martinsburg, WV who travel through rural routes, gravel access roads or uneven outdoor areas, these systems add meaningful confidence.

Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System

The Class-Exclusive available Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System is one of the Grand Cherokee’s most valuable capability and comfort features. Standard on Grand Cherokee Overland, Trailhawk® and Summit models, it uses electronic semiactive damping to help automatically lower the vehicle at highway speeds for optimal aerodynamics. When the route calls for additional clearance, the system can raise the vehicle to help clear off-road obstacles. This is the type of feature that makes the Grand Cherokee feel premium and practical at the same time. On the highway, it contributes to a composed ride. Away from smooth pavement, it helps the SUV maintain the confident stance Jeep Brand drivers appreciate. The Overland model also blends upscale comfort with serious trail-ready equipment, including an aggressive front end with bright tow hooks, an air suspension and a 2-speed transfer case. If your SUV needs to handle everything from professional commutes to family travel and weekend exploration, Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System adds a level of adaptability that stands out.

12.3-Inch Uconnect® 5 NAV Touchscreen

The available 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen serves as the centerpiece of the 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee cabin. It is large, clear and designed to make important functions easy to access. With standard navigation, a trial membership for SiriusXM®, Apple CarPlay® support and Android Auto™ compatibility, the system helps drivers stay connected without making the cabin feel cluttered. Jeep also notes that Laredo and Laredo X models introduce a new 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, expanding the technology story across the lineup. Beyond the main display, available technology can include a 10-inch full-color Head-Up Display that projects important driver information onto the windshield, a 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display, an available wireless charging pad and an available Digital Rearview Mirror. The Grand Cherokee L can also offer second-row rear-seat entertainment screens with Amazon Fire TV, allowing passengers to stream, game, listen, read, watch or download. For connected families and professionals, this cabin is built to keep pace.

Flexible Two-Row and Three-Row Design

The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee gives shoppers a meaningful choice between two-row and three-row layouts. The standard wheelbase two-row model offers seating for up to five passengers and up to 70.8 cubic feet of cargo room with the second-row seats folded down. With all seats in place, it provides 37.7 cubic feet behind the second row, which is useful for groceries, luggage, tools, backpacks and daily cargo. The Grand Cherokee L adds a third row with available seating for up to seven passengers and up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo room when the second- and third-row seats are folded down. It can also offer second-row bucket seats for seating up to six, or bench seating for up to seven. Available power-folding third-row seating makes it easier to adjust the cabin quickly. This flexibility helps the Grand Cherokee fit a wide range of households, from drivers who prefer a refined two-row SUV to families who need added passenger space without moving into a larger full-size vehicle.
