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 raises the performance bar while supporting the kind of everyday drivability SUV shoppers expect. When paired with the Gen IV automatic transmission, this turbocharged gas engine delivers up to 324 maximum horsepower and 332 lb-ft of maximum torque. Jeep® notes that it provides incredible horsepower, torque and efficiency over the previous gas engine, and it is standard on all trims except Laredo and Laredo X models. The result is a Grand Cherokee that feels responsive in city traffic, composed on the highway and confident when loaded with passengers or cargo. It also helps the SUV achieve a driving range of up to 529 miles, giving road-trip shoppers another reason to take a close look. For drivers who plan to tow, the Grand Cherokee offers a Best-in-Class Maximum Towing Capacity of up to 6,200 pounds with the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine and the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine when properly equipped. That strength makes the SUV a compelling choice for hauling recreational gear, small trailers or weekend equipment without stepping into a full-size truck.

Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4x4 Systems

Capability has always been central to the Grand Cherokee identity, and the 2027 model continues that legacy with 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 peace of mind many shoppers expect from a Jeep® Grand Cherokee. The available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System adds another layer of control by allowing drivers to select from five specialized 4x4 drive modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow or Mud/Sand. For shoppers who want even more off-road readiness, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk® proudly carries a Trail Rated® badge, reflecting capability in five key off-road areas: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording. The available Class-Exclusive Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System, standard on Overland, Trailhawk® and Summit, can lower the vehicle at highway speeds for improved aerodynamics and raise it when extra clearance is needed on uneven terrain. This is the kind of hardware that helps the Grand Cherokee feel prepared for paved roads, gravel routes and challenging trails alike.

12.3-Inch Uconnect® 5 NAV Touchscreen

The available 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen gives the 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee a commanding technology centerpiece. Jeep® describes it as a massive display that unlocks convenience and entertainment, and the system supports standard navigation, a trial membership for SiriusXM®, Apple CarPlay® support and Android Auto™ compatibility. For shoppers who rely on smartphone integration, streaming audio, turn-by-turn guidance and easy access to vehicle settings, this interface helps reduce clutter while making key functions more accessible. The 2027 Grand Cherokee also introduces a new 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen for Laredo and Laredo X models, strengthening the lineup’s digital experience even at the entry point. Available connected services through Jeep® Connect and the Jeep app add another practical layer, with helpful functions such as Vehicle Finder, Vehicle Health Report, Remote Vehicle Operations and Send & Go. With Send & Go, a destination can be found on the mobile app and sent directly to the vehicle’s navigation system, so directions are ready on the Uconnect® touchscreen when the driver gets in. It is a smart setup for busy families, frequent travelers and anyone who wants vehicle technology that feels useful rather than complicated.

Grand Cherokee L Three-Row Versatility

The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee gives shoppers meaningful flexibility by offering both two-row and three-row configurations. The two-row Grand Cherokee has available seating for up to five passengers and 37.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row, expanding to 70.8 cubic feet with the second-row seats folded down. For larger families or drivers who regularly carry extra passengers, the Grand Cherokee L adds a third row with available seating for up to seven. With all seats up, the Grand Cherokee L provides 17.2 cubic feet of cargo room, and when the second- and third-row seats are folded down, it opens up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Available second-row bucket seats can create seating for up to six and help make the cabin feel more open, while two full bench seats support seven-passenger capacity. Jeep® also notes that the Grand Cherokee L offers Best-in-Class second-row legroom, and the second-row seats can fold down and slide forward for easier third-row access. For households balancing passengers, sports bags, pets, groceries and travel gear, this flexibility is a major selling point.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance

The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee offers a broad collection of standard and available safety and security features designed to help drivers stay more aware. The Grand Cherokee Summit is noted by Jeep® as having the most standard safety and security features in its class, while the wider lineup offers available systems that support both routine driving and tighter maneuvering. Available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist combines sensor data and speed control, allowing hands-free operation while the system monitors driver attentiveness and provides visual and audible alerts if distraction or fatigue is detected. The available semiautonomous Active Driving Assist System, standard on trims with the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine and not available on Laredo or Laredo X, uses cameras and sensors to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane and maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead. Additional technologies include Intersection Collision Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Active Lane Management, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection, ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera with ParkSense® Rear Park Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection and the available 360º Surround View Camera. Together, these systems help the Grand Cherokee feel confident, composed and thoughtfully engineered.
