Trims
All six 2027 Cherokee trims side by side, from $35,130 MSRP before destination, with a step-up guide.
Quick Answer
The 2027 Jeep Cherokee leaves a Seacoast buyer one decision: which of six trims fits the way you drive. Every Cherokee carries the same 210-hp hybrid and 4x4, and prices start at $35,130 MSRP before destination, so the ladder from the Cherokee to the Overland is an $8,000 climb in equipment, not in power. The Trailhawk sits beside the Overland at $42,630 MSRP and brings off-road hardware in place of luxury.
Jeep Portsmouth has the lineup to look at, and shoppers from Exeter, Dover, Somersworth and Rochester regularly drive two trims back to back. The full hybrid story is on the Overview page.
Six trims, one powertrain, and an $8,000 spread from the lowest starting MSRP to the highest, before destination.
| Trim | Starting MSRP (before destination) | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Cherokee | $35,130 MSRP | The hybrid 4x4 with the full screen and driver-assistance package |
| Laredo | $38,130 MSRP | Adds heated seats, remote start and a power driver seat |
| Limited | $40,130 MSRP | Adds leatherette, a heated wheel and a power liftgate |
| Limited Altitude | $40,725 MSRP | The Limited with a gloss black look |
| Overland | $43,130 MSRP | Sunroof, Alpine audio, 20-inch wheels and park assist |
| Trailhawk | $42,630 MSRP | Lifted, with Active Drive II and skid plates |
MSRP excludes destination, taxes, title and registration fees. Dealer sets final price.
Six trims share one hybrid, and each adds its own equipment.
At $35,130 MSRP before destination, the base trim already has the 12.3-inch touchscreen, the 10.25-inch digital cluster, wireless phone connectivity, LED headlamps and taillamps, roof rails, rain-sensing wipers and the Active Driving Assist package. Underneath is the hybrid every Cherokee shares, with Active Drive I 4x4, on 17-inch machined painted wheels and cloth seats. It is the buyer's pick when the goal is a hybrid Jeep at the lowest entry price.
The $38,130 MSRP Laredo is the trim that warms up your morning: heated front seats, a key-fob remote start and an 8-way power driver seat with lumbar support, with fog lamps and 18-inch wheels outside and two charge-only USB ports for the rear seat. It is also the first trim where the Trailer Tow Group is available. It suits the commuter who wants the daily comforts and a mid-ladder price.
Starting at $40,130 MSRP, the Limited changes how the cabin feels: Capri leatherette seats, a heated steering wheel, a power passenger seat, a garage door opener, a 115-volt outlet and a power liftgate with adjustable height. A panoramic sunroof, the Tech Group and 20-inch wheels are available. It fits the driver who wants a finished interior for everyday errands.
The Limited Altitude, from $40,725 MSRP, keeps the Limited's equipment and darkens the exterior: gloss black wheels, roof, grille, beltline molding and badges. Nothing underneath changes, so it suits the buyer who picks a Jeep as much for its look as its list.
The Overland, from $43,130 MSRP, is the Cherokee for long drives. Its panoramic sunroof is standard, the Alpine audio system has ten speakers, and park assist reaches the front, rear and sides, with a hands-free liftgate, memory mirrors and 20-inch wheels completing the picture. The Advanced Pro Tech Group and a gloss black roof are available. It fits the driver who wants the most finished cabin the Cherokee offers.
The new Trailhawk, from $42,630 MSRP, is a different Cherokee below the floor. Active Drive II with Lock Mode and a two-speed power transfer unit replaces the standard 4x4 system, the suspension gains an inch of lift, and steel skid plates and red tow hooks come standard on 17-inch wheels wearing 245/65R17 all-terrain tires. Inside are Mantis Green upholstery with red stitching, heated power front seats, a heated steering wheel, memory seating and a foot-activated liftgate. The Sun and Sound package, a trailering package and the Advanced Pro Tech Group are available. It fits the weekend explorer who wants sand, ruts and trailhead roads handled.
Every trim uses the same hybrid and seats five in two rows. This matrix lists what changes.
| Trim | Starting MSRP | 4x4 system | Wheels | Key standard equipment | Key upgrades available |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherokee | $35,130 MSRP | Active Drive I | 17-inch machined painted | Cloth seats, roof rails, 12.3-inch screen | Packages vary by build |
| Laredo | $38,130 MSRP | Active Drive I | 18-inch machined painted | Heated front seats, remote start, power driver seat | Trailer Tow Group |
| Limited | $40,130 MSRP | Active Drive I | 18-inch (20-inch available) | Leatherette, heated wheel, power liftgate | Panoramic sunroof, Tech Group, 20-inch wheels |
| Limited Altitude | $40,725 MSRP | Active Drive I | 18-inch gloss black | Limited equipment, gloss black roof and badges | Limited options |
| Overland | $43,130 MSRP | Active Drive I | 20-inch machined painted | Panoramic sunroof, Alpine audio, park assist | Advanced Pro Tech Group, gloss black roof |
| Trailhawk | $42,630 MSRP | Active Drive II, two-speed | 17-inch, all-terrain tires | Skid plates, one-inch lift, heated seats and wheel | Sun and Sound, trailering package, Advanced Pro Tech Group |
Properly equipped with the Trailer Tow Group, the Cherokee tows up to 3,500 lbs, with the Trailer Tow Group available on the Laredo and above and a trailering package available on the Trailhawk.
The $3,000 in MSRP between them buys the cold-weather comforts: heated front seats, remote start and a power driver seat, plus 18-inch wheels and fog lamps. If a heated seat on a January morning in Exeter or Durham sounds like a luxury, the Laredo makes it standard. If the Cherokee's full screen and driver-assistance list is all you want, the base trim delivers it.
Mechanically and equipment-wise they match; the $595 in MSRP buys the black wheels, roof, grille, beltline molding and badges. Choose by eye. Both can take the panoramic sunroof, the Tech Group and the larger wheels.
These are two different Cherokees at nearly the same price, with the Trailhawk $500 below the Overland in MSRP. The Overland is the road trim: the sunroof, Alpine audio and park assist ride on 20-inch wheels. The Trailhawk is the dirt trim: Active Drive II, a lifted suspension and skid plates ride on all-terrain tires, with Jeep estimating 31 mpg combined against the 37 on the road trims.
The Laredo is the natural first step up the Cherokee ladder, and each trim after it is named for the buyer it fits.
Value Verdict
The Laredo is the natural first step: for $3,000 more MSRP than the base Cherokee it adds the heated seats, remote start and power seat that a New Hampshire winter makes daily features. The Limited is the pick for the buyer who wants leatherette and a power liftgate. The Overland fits the buyer who wants everything, and the Trailhawk fits the buyer who wants dirt-road hardware.
