The Grand Cherokee has plenty of room for passengers and cargo without moving into the larger three-row SUV category. For 2027, Jeep brings back several familiar trims while making smaller changes elsewhere in the lineup. Let's break down the details.
Key Takeaways
- The Laredo Upland, Trailhawk, and Overland return to the Grand Cherokee lineup for 2027.
- Most of the Jeep Grand Cherokee models use a V6 and a turbocharged four-cylinder.
- Max towing capacity reaches 6,200 pounds in the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
What Are the Latest Grand Cherokee Updates for 2027?
Jeep reintroduces the Laredo Upland, Trailhawk, and Overland, with each adding more off-road capability to the Grand Cherokee range. The Trailhawk takes that capability even farther with knobbier tires, underbody protection, and greater suspension articulation.
From there, Jeep updates several existing trims. The base Laredo replaces its 8.4-inch infotainment display with a larger unit. The Limited adds a new wheel design, wireless smartphone charging, and rain-sensing windshield wipers, while the Limited Reserve gains automatically folding exterior mirrors.
How Much Power Does the Grand Cherokee Offer?
A 293-hp 3.6-liter V6 is standard on most Grand Cherokee models, or you can upgrade to a 324-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic.
Rear-wheel drive is standard; however, Jeep offers three all-wheel-drive systems with progressively greater off-road capability. One of those systems can direct 100% of the available power to a single wheel when it's the only wheel with traction.
What Can the Grand Cherokee Tow?
Max towing capacity is 6,200 pounds, according to Car and Driver. That's slightly higher than the max offered by the Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Wrangler.
How Much Comfort Does the Grand Cherokee Have Inside?
Cabin comfort depends on trim. The Laredo covers the essentials. When you step up to Limited and Summit models, you'll find more upscale features such as quilted leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, and digital displays.
Rear passengers have plenty of headroom and legroom, although seating three adults across can get snug. The Grand Cherokee is strictly a two-row SUV, so shoppers who need a third row should move up to the longer Grand Cherokee L. There's also generous cargo space behind the Grand Cherokee's rear seat.
Which Screens and Audio Systems Are Available for the Grand Cherokee?
The base Laredo uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen, while every other Grand Cherokee gets a larger 12.3-inch display. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio are standard throughout the lineup. Available in-dash navigation adds real-time traffic and weather info.
Higher trims add more display tech, including a digital gauge cluster, a 10.0-inch head-up display, and a separate 10.3-inch screen built into the passenger side of the dash. Laredo and Limited models use a standard six-speaker stereo, but buyers looking for an upgraded audio system can choose a nine-speaker Alpine setup or a 19-speaker McIntosh.
