The 2027 Jeep Cherokee adds a 1.6L Turbo Hybrid engine across every trim, rated at 39 MPG city and 37 MPG combined. That is a meaningful efficiency gain compared to the previous generation's traditional gasoline powerplant, with no compromise on 4WD capability. This page covers every trim, all key specs, and what changed for 2027, plus links to current inventory at ASA Auto Plaza.
The single biggest change for 2027 is a full powertrain overhaul. Every 2027 Cherokee now comes with the 1.6L I4 Turbo Hybrid engine as standard equipment. This self-charging hybrid never needs to be plugged in, the electric motor recharges through regenerative braking and the engine itself, and it delivers a manufacturer-estimated 39 MPG city, 35 MPG highway, and 37 MPG combined on standard trims.
The Jeep Active Drive I 4x4 system carries over standard on the Cherokee, Laredo, Limited, Limited Altitude, and Overland trims. The Cherokee Trailhawk, also offered for 2027, pairs that powertrain with the Jeep Active Drive II 4x4 system and its Trail Rated badge for buyers who want greater off-road capability from the lineup.
Active safety technology also takes a significant step forward. Every 2027 Cherokee ships with the Active Driving Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Active Lane Management, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with Active Braking, Intersection Collision Assist, Blind-Spot and Cross-Path Detection, and Drowsy Driver Detection, all standard, across the lineup.
The Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital cluster display are now standard on every trim. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are included on all models.
2027 Jeep Cherokee safety features
The 2027 Cherokee is offered in six configurations, all 4x4 and all Turbo Hybrid.
The entry trim starts with 17-inch machined painted aluminum wheels, LED headlamps and taillamps, heated power mirrors, cloth seats, roof rails, rain-sensing wipers, the 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, and the full suite of standard driver assistance features described above. A compact spare tire is available.
Adds 18-inch machined painted aluminum wheels, front LED fog lamps, an 8-way power driver seat with 2-way lumbar, heated front seats, dual rear USB charge ports, and remote vehicle start. The optional Trailer Tow Group makes this the first trim where towing equipment becomes available.

A dual-pane panoramic sunroof and optional Tech Group are available at this level.
Builds on the Limited with 18-inch gloss-black painted wheels, a gloss-black painted roof, gloss-black grille surround and accents, gloss-black beltline molding, and gloss-black badges. The bold exterior treatment makes this the visual standout of the lineup.
The top non-Trailhawk trim adds 20-inch machined painted aluminum wheels, a standard dual-pane panoramic sunroof, uniquely perforated Capri leatherette seats, an 8-way power passenger seat with memory, proximity approach lamps, exterior door handle approach lamps, traffic sign information, the Alpine 9-speaker audio system, Uconnect 5 Nav with GPS navigation, a black liftgate accent, driver seat memory, Active Noise Control, HD Radio, and the ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist System with Side Distance Warning, all standard. The Advanced Pro Tech Group is available to add a surround-view camera and automated parking system.
The off-road variant pairs the same 1.6L Turbo Hybrid with the Jeep Active Drive II 4x4 system and earns Jeep's Trail Rated badge. It carries a best-in-class departure angle of 29.4 degrees, giving it a distinct advantage on rocky and uneven terrain. Buyers near Jackson, MN who want the most trail-capable Cherokee in the lineup should look at this trim.
2027 Cherokee Trailhawk capability details
Every 2027 Cherokee uses the 1.6L I4 Turbo Hybrid producing 177 hp at 5,500 RPM and 221 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 RPM. The hybrid system nets a combined 210 hp system output. Power runs through an Electronic Variable Transmission to all four wheels via the Jeep Active Drive I 4x4 system (Active Drive II on the Trailhawk), with a Selec-Terrain system standard on all trims.
Fuel economy stands at 39 city / 35 highway / 37 combined MPG. A 13.7-gallon tank means a single fill provides well over 500 miles of total driving range on standard trims. The hybrid is self-charging and requires no plug-in, so owners near Jackson never need to find a charging station.
Towing capacity reaches 3,500 lbs with the optional Trailer Tow Group (Class III receiver hitch available on Laredo and above). Ground clearance is 8 inches. The system also includes Trailer Sway Damping standard on all trims. The Cherokee cannot be flat towed.
The Cherokee seats five across two rows. Front legroom measures 41.3 inches and rear legroom is 38.5 inches, Jeep claims unsurpassed-in-class rear interior room. Passenger volume totals 107 cubic feet.
Behind the rear seats, cargo volume is 33.6 cubic feet. Fold the 60/40 split rear seat and maximum cargo space reaches 68.3 cubic feet. Dual-zone automatic climate control, center-console rear air vents, and rear-seat heat ducts come standard across the lineup.
Base trims use cloth seating. The Laredo steps up to cloth with labyrinth embossing. The Limited and Limited Altitude use perforated Capri leatherette. The Overland gets uniquely perforated Capri leatherette with cognac stitching and driver seat memory. All trims except the base include heated front seats. The Overland adds ventilated front seats and heated rear seats as available options.
Other standard interior features across the lineup include a full-length floor console, sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors, passenger seat-back map pocket, 12-volt front and rear auxiliary outlets, and a sound insulation group for a quieter cabin.
Every 2027 Cherokee carries the Uconnect 5 system on a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a separate 10.25-inch digital color cluster display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across all trims. Standard connectivity includes 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, dual front USB-C full-function ports, Bluetooth, SiriusXM 360L with a trial subscription, and Jeep Connect connected services.
The Laredo adds dual rear USB-C charge ports. The Limited upgrades to Alexa Built-In and Connected Travel and Traffic Services. The Overland makes Uconnect 5 Nav with GPS navigation standard, and adds HD Radio and the Alpine 9-speaker audio system with subwoofer as standard equipment.
Voice recognition, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, and handsfree phone and audio are standard on the base through Limited Altitude trims. The Overland adds an Integrated Voice Command system.
The 2027 Cherokee carries one of the most comprehensive standard safety suites in its class. Every trim includes the following as standard:
The airbag suite covers advanced multistage front airbags, a driver inflatable knee-bolster airbag, front and rear side airbags, and front-and-rear side curtain airbags. Three LATCH-ready anchors serve the rear row. The Overland adds ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist with Side Distance Warning as standard equipment, plus an available surround-view camera and automated parking system.
Buyers who cross-shopped the previous Cherokee for its capability but wanted better fuel economy now have a direct answer: the 2027 model delivers Jeep's trademark 4x4 with a 37 MPG combined rating, no plug required, and no range anxiety.
The Cherokee Trailhawk makes the most sense for buyers in Minnesota who face winter roads, gravel county roads, or want a trail-ready 4x4 with Active Drive II, without stepping up to the larger Grand Cherokee. For everyday commuters between Jackson and surrounding communities who want efficiency and real-world 4x4 confidence, the Laredo or Limited trims hit the practical midpoint of the lineup. The Overland suits buyers who want a near-premium feature set, panoramic sunroof, premium audio, navigation, and driver seat memory, without moving to a larger platform.
