Laredo
The base Laredo anchors the lineup with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and the new 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen. It is available in 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. The new Wicker Beige interior color is exclusive to this trim for 2027.
2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee: What's New, Trims, and Specs
The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee adds three new trims, including the returning Trailhawk, with 324 hp and 11.4 inches of ground clearance. The 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo now powers Laredo Altitude and higher trims, replacing the V6 across most of the lineup. This page covers every trim, spec, and change for 2027, with current inventory available at ASA Auto Plaza of Jackson.
What's New for 2027
The headline change for 2027 is trim expansion. Jeep adds the Trailhawk, Overland, and Upland to the Grand Cherokee lineup, each targeting a distinct buyer.
The Trailhawk returns after a hiatus as the most off-road-capable Grand Cherokee in the two-row family. It carries the Trail Rated badge, validated through testing on terrain including the Rubicon Trail. The Overland returns as the premium, do-it-all off-road package after a 25-year run in the nameplate's history. The Upland is an entirely new trim that brings Trailhawk-inspired looks and all-terrain capability at a lower entry point.
Beyond new trims, 2027 brings these changes across the lineup:
Infotainment Upgrade on Laredo and Laredo X: The 8.4-inch screen that previously served as standard is gone. A new 10.1-inch touchscreen replaces it on both trims.
New Wheel Designs: Laredo, Laredo X, and Laredo Altitude receive new 18-inch wheels. Limited trims move to a new 20-inch design.
Laredo Upland Additions: The new Upland trim adds 265/60R18 all-terrain tires, Trailhawk-inspired front fascia, Vapor Gray tow hooks, and Capri leatherette and suede seating in Global Black.
Limited Improvements: The Limited trim gains a wireless charging pad and rain-sensing wipers as standard. The Limited Reserve adds auto, power-folding mirrors.
New Exterior Colors: High Gloss Black, Sting Gray, Ghost, Red Hot, Olive Green, Midnight Sky, Ember, and Red Rock join the palette. Wicker Beige debuts as a new interior color on the Laredo trim.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Grand Cherokee offers ten trim levels on the two-row model, from the entry Laredo through the Summit.
Laredo X
The Laredo X shares the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and 10.1-inch touchscreen with the base Laredo and adds cosmetic and content upgrades over it. Both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations are available.
Laredo Altitude
The Laredo Altitude steps up to the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo and receives new 18-inch wheels for 2027. It is available in 4x2 and 4x4.
Laredo Upland (new for 2027)
The Laredo Upland is a new trim that sits between Laredo Altitude and Limited Altitude in the lineup. It focuses on off-road presence with 265/60R18 all-terrain tires, Trailhawk-inspired front fascia, Vapor Gray tow hooks, and Capri leatherette and suede seating in Global Black. It is the entry point for buyers who want aggressive styling without stepping into the full Trailhawk hardware package.
Limited
The Limited brings the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo, new 20-inch wheels, a wireless charging pad, and rain-sensing wipers as standard equipment for 2027. It is available in 4x2 and 4x4.
Limited Altitude
The Limited Altitude pairs the equipment level of the Limited with a blacked-out appearance package. Dark exterior accents, unique wheel finish, and Sport appearance upgrades differentiate it visually from the standard Limited. It is available in 4x2 and 4x4.
Limited Reserve
The Limited Reserve adds power-folding mirrors with auto-folding function over the standard Limited and is offered exclusively in 4x4.
Trailhawk (late availability)
The Trailhawk delivers the most off-road hardware in the two-row lineup. It includes Quadra-Trac II with a two-speed transfer case, Quadra-Lift air suspension, a rear electronic limited-slip differential, six skid plates, 30.5-inch Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires, and 18-inch Granite Crystal wheels. Red tow hooks and a matte black hood decal mark it visually. Inside, genuine Nappa leather with red accent stitching and a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen are standard. The Trailhawk carries the Trail Rated badge.
Overland (late availability)
The Overland pairs Quadra-Trac II, Quadra-Lift air suspension, and semi-active damping with 21-inch machine-faced wheels, bright tow hooks, and Nappa leather with Overland embossing on the front seatbacks. Front and rear passengers receive heated seats; front seats also get ventilation. A standard 360-degree surround-view camera with washer is included.
Summit
The Summit tops the lineup with the McIntosh 19-speaker audio system and the most premium interior content available in a two-row Grand Cherokee.
Performance and Powertrain
Two engines are offered for 2027.
3.6L Pentastar V6 VVT
The 3.6L Pentastar V6 VVT is standard on Laredo and Laredo X trims. It uses a conventional naturally aspirated design and pairs with the 8-speed automatic transmission.
2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo
The 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo is standard on Laredo Altitude and all higher trims. It produces 324 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, with peak torque arriving at 3,000 rpm for responsive low-end pull. The Hurricane 4 Turbo uses Turbulent Jet Ignition technology, producing 162 hp per liter, which is a strong output figure for its displacement class. EPA fuel economy data
Both engines connect to an 8-speed automatic transmission. RWD is standard across the lineup; 4WD is available on all trims.
EPA fuel economy for the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo rates at 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined on regular unleaded gasoline.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The 2027 Grand Cherokee seats five across two rows. Cargo space behind the second row measures 37.7 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded, total cargo volume reaches 70.8 cubic feet. The SUV measures 193.5 inches in length and 70.8 inches in height.
Interior materials scale by trim. Laredo and Laredo X use cloth upholstery. Laredo Altitude and Upland move to leatherette. Trailhawk uses genuine Nappa leather with red stitching. Overland uses Nappa leather with Overland embossing on the front seatbacks and adds heated and ventilated front seats plus heated rear seats. Summit delivers the most premium interior finish in the lineup.
The new Wicker Beige interior color is available on the Laredo trim for 2027, adding a lighter tone option to the lineup.
Technology and Infotainment
The most significant tech change for 2027 is the screen upgrade on Laredo and Laredo X. The prior 8.4-inch display is replaced by a new 10.1-inch touchscreen. Laredo Altitude and higher trims are eligible for the 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen with built-in navigation. The Trailhawk comes standard with the 12.3-inch display.
All trims include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, and AM/FM radio.
Upper trims gain Off-Road Pages, which display vehicle dynamics, pitch and roll angles, Selec-Terrain mode selection, and suspension settings in real time. The Trailhawk also adds an Integrated TrailCam off-road camera with dynamic tire path overlay.
The Summit trim adds the McIntosh 19-speaker premium audio system, one of the most recognizable audio upgrades in the segment.
A wireless charging pad is now standard on the Limited trim for 2027.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Standard safety features on the 2027 Grand Cherokee include child door locks. Active Driving Assist is available across the lineup.
The Overland trim adds a standard 360-degree surround-view camera with a rear camera washer. The Trailhawk includes the Integrated TrailCam with a rear camera washer for off-road visibility.
The Grand Cherokee carries a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Who It's For and How It Compares to the Prior Year
The 2026 Grand Cherokee did not offer Trailhawk or Overland in the two-row lineup. Buyers who wanted maximum off-road equipment from Jeep in a two-row package had no factory Trail Rated option. The 2027 model corrects that directly.
The Upland is also new ground. It gives buyers who want all-terrain tires and aggressive styling a step below the Trailhawk's full off-road hardware suite, at a lower price point in the lineup.
For buyers already considering a 2026 Grand Cherokee, the 2027 brings meaningful upgrades: a larger standard screen on base trims, new wheel designs on multiple trims, additional standard tech on the Limited, and eight new exterior color options.
Shoppers near Jackson who prioritize daily comfort with occasional trail use will find the Limited or Limited Reserve a natural fit. Those who want to go further off the pavement can step into the Upland or wait for the Trailhawk, which arrives later in the model year.
