Specs
Every 2027 Cherokee spec: 210 hp, 37 mpg, 188.1 inches and 68.3 cubic feet, plus up to 3,500 lbs of towing when properly equipped.
Key Numbers
The 2027 Jeep Cherokee is 188.1 inches long, 74.7 inches wide without mirrors and 67.5 inches tall, and it tows up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. Shoppers from Exeter, Dover, Somersworth and Rochester ask for these numbers first because garages, driveways and parking spots decide the purchase. Every dimension, weight and rating below belongs to the 1.6L turbo hybrid with 4x4 that all six trims share. For the story behind the numbers, read the Overview, and for what each trim adds, the Trims page. Last year's figures are on the 2026 Cherokee Specs page.
All six trims use one powertrain: a 1.6L four-cylinder turbo hybrid that makes 210 hp and 230 lb-ft of torque as a combined system.
| Specification | 2027 Cherokee |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1.6L I4 turbo hybrid |

The Cherokee never needs to be plugged in. The battery recharges from braking and from the engine as you drive.

The Cherokee seats five in two rows with 107 cubic feet of passenger volume and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat.
| Measurement | Front row | Rear row |
|---|---|---|
| Headroom | 40.3 inches | 40.2 inches |
| Legroom | 41.3 inches | 38.5 inches |
| Shoulder room | 57.7 inches | 57.6 inches |

The Overland's standard panoramic sunroof trims headroom to 38 inches in front and 38.1 inches in back; every other trim uses the figures above.
| Cargo configuration | Volume |
|---|---|
| Behind the rear seat | 33.6 cubic feet |
| Rear seat folded | 68.3 cubic feet |
| Passenger volume | 107 cubic feet |
Properly equipped with the Trailer Tow Group and a conventional hitch, the 2027 Cherokee tows up to 3,500 lbs on every trim that offers the group.
| Towing specification | Rating |
|---|---|
| Maximum towing, properly equipped | 3,500 lbs |
| Maximum tongue weight | 350 lbs |
| Gross combined weight rating | 8,400 lbs |

| Axle ratio | 4.16 |
| Trailer brakes, properly equipped | Recommended over 1,000 lbs of trailer, required over 2,000 lbs |

The Laredo and every trim above it can add the Trailer Tow Group, and the Trailhawk has its own trailering package. A new Cherokee holds trailer towing for its first 500 miles, then limits the next 500 towing miles to 50 mph with gentle starts. On a boat ramp, unplug the trailer wiring connector before the boat goes into the water and plug it back in once clear of it; a ramp like Hilton Park on Dover Point rewards the habit.
Wheel and tire sizes step up with the trim, from 17 inches on the Cherokee to 20 inches on the Overland, with all-terrain 17s on the Trailhawk.

The Cherokee's numbers translate into easy fits for tight Seacoast spaces and room for the gear a New Hampshire weekend needs. A driver from Exeter or Somersworth can read the right-hand column as a checklist.
| Number | What it means |
|---|---|
| 74.7 inches wide without mirrors | Fits a one-car garage bay and the angled spaces around Market Square |
| 188.1 inches long | Fits a compact parking space more easily than the 193.5-inch Grand Cherokee |
| 20.2-foot turning radius | Eases a U-turn on a Route 1 side street and a tight driveway turn in Kittery |
| 8.0 inches of ground clearance (9.0 on the Trailhawk) | Clears a plowed-in driveway edge and a frost-heaved road; the Trailhawk adds room for ruts and sand |
| 13.7-gallon tank, 37 mpg combined | Over 500 miles between fill-ups, so a full work week of commuting from Rochester or Seabrook rarely needs a stop at the pump |
| 33.6 cubic feet behind the rear seat | A week of groceries, a stroller and a duffel at once |
| 3,500 lbs towing, properly equipped | A small boat, a pair of kayaks or a small camper on a trailer |
