2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Compare the two-row Grand Cherokee’s engine, cabin and towing equipment, with the actual trim and drivetrain attached to its price.
Key Numbers
The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a two-row, five-passenger SUV with a standard 293-horsepower 3.6L V6 on Laredo and Laredo X and the 324-horsepower Hurricane 4 Turbo on higher trims. Both 2WD and 4WD configurations are listed. Laredo 4x2 starts at $39,730 MSRP before the $1,995 destination charge; Laredo 4x4 starts at $41,730 before destination. Jeep describes a properly equipped 6,200-pound maximum trailer rating, which requires checking the selected vehicle’s preparation and ratings rather than assuming every example reaches that ceiling.
Jeep Portsmouth’s Jeep-only showroom at 2355 Lafayette Road provides a place to inspect the Grand Cherokee configuration you have selected. Bring the passenger count, regular cargo and loaded-trailer information to the appointment. Keep the listing and equipment record together, then use the drive for visibility, response and ordinary controls rather than expect it to establish a published maximum capability.
Two engines carry the 2027 Grand Cherokee, and which one a buyer gets depends on trim rather than a standalone choice.
The base engine is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 rated at 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a Gen IV 8-speed automatic transmission. It's the engine under every Laredo and Laredo X on the lot, and it's rated for the same 6,200-lb maximum tow as the upgrade engine when properly equipped.
Every trim above Laredo X (Laredo Altitude, Laredo Upland, Limited and up) comes standard with Jeep's 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 Turbo four-cylinder, rated at 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, more of both than the V6 despite the smaller displacement. It shares the same Gen IV 8-speed automatic and the same 6,200-lb best-in-class tow rating, and Jeep rates a properly equipped 2027 Grand Cherokee with the Hurricane engine for a 529-mile driving range on a tank.
The EPA’s two-row Hurricane 2WD ratings are 21 city, 26 highway and 23 combined mpg; the Hurricane 4WD is rated at 20/25/22. The two-row V6 is rated at 19/26/22 with either drivetrain. The fuel-economy comparison should retain the matching body and drive configuration. Both engines accept regular gasoline; the turbo can perform at its best with 91-octane or higher under hot or heavy-load conditions. Fuel capacity is 23 gallons, a separate quantity from a guaranteed driving range.
Compare the trim ladder with the body and drivetrain specified. The manufacturer’s two-row cards list Laredo 4x2 at $39,730 and Summit 4x4 at $61,130 MSRP, both before destination. The table identifies the price basis on each numeric row; use the selected vehicle’s proposal where its price is shown by configuration. The trim comparison adds the equipment details behind those price differences.
| Trim | Starting MSRP and basis | Engine | Equipment to compare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laredo | $39,730 4x2 / $41,730 4x4 | 3.6L V6 | 10.1-inch touchscreen and digital driver display |
| Laredo X | $42,225 4x2 / $44,225 4x4 | 3.6L V6 | Heated front seats and steering wheel, power liftgate |
| Laredo Altitude | $45,170 4x2 / $47,170 4x4 | 2.0L Hurricane 4 | 12.3-inch navigation touchscreen and black exterior accents |
| Laredo Upland | Review the selected vehicle’s written price | 2.0L Hurricane 4 | Trailhawk-inspired wheels, tow hooks and all-terrain tires |
| Limited | $45,130 4x2 / $47,130 4x4 | 2.0L Hurricane 4 | Alpine audio and rain-sensing wipers |
| Limited Altitude | Review the selected vehicle’s written price | 2.0L Hurricane 4 | Compare installed trim and package equipment |
| Limited Reserve | $52,725 4x4 | 2.0L Hurricane 4 | Nappa seats, panoramic roof and power-folding mirrors |
| Trailhawk | $53,625 4x4 | 2.0L Hurricane 4 | Quadra-Lift and a two-speed transfer case |
| Overland | $57,895 including destination | 2.0L Hurricane 4 | Air suspension and a hands-free liftgate |
| Summit | $61,130 4x4 | 2.0L Hurricane 4 | McIntosh audio and quilted Palermo seating |
Except for the explicitly destination-inclusive Overland amount, numeric prices in this table are starting MSRPs before the $1,995 destination charge. Taxes, title, registration and applicable purchase charges are separate. Compare the complete written price of the selected SUV with its options and drivetrain, so a launch or base figure does not replace the actual purchase proposal.
Laredo 4x2 starts at $39,730 MSRP and Laredo 4x4 at $41,730, before destination. The 3.6L V6 supplies 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft, and the cabin has a 10.1-inch center touchscreen with a separate 10.25-inch driver display. Evaluate the actual seating position and drive equipment first, then decide whether another trim’s comfort functions justify its complete price difference.
Laredo Upland uses Trailhawk-inspired 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, Vapor Gray tow hooks and a distinctive front appearance. Capri leatherette and suede seating and the body-color roof belong in the same equipment review. Inspect the selected SUV and its written price; an appearance shared with Trailhawk does not establish identical suspension, transfer-case or capability equipment.
For a buyer considering these trims, the useful comparison is the actual suspension, seating and traction equipment fitted to the selected vehicle. Trailhawk 4x4 ($53,625 before destination) is the Trail Rated off-road trim with Quadra-Lift air suspension and a 2-speed transfer case; Overland ($57,895 including destination) carries the same air suspension and 2-speed case in a road-touring trim, with a standard hands-free power liftgate. Keep the selected vehicle’s ride-height, tire and cabin equipment with the written proposal.
Summit 4x4 starts at $61,130 MSRP before destination. Its quilted Palermo seating and 19-speaker McIntosh audio give the cabin a different focus from the entry trims. Compare those functions from the occupied seating positions you need, with the actual vehicle’s roof, assistance equipment and complete written price visible in the decision.
Laredo and Laredo X have a 10.1-inch center touchscreen. The 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV display is another equipment arrangement, including on Laredo Altitude, with navigation, phone integration and applicable connected-service terms to review. Bring the intended phone and try ordinary tasks while parked. Summit’s McIntosh audio is a separate cabin feature rather than a reason to assume every vehicle carries all available display and assistance functions.
The 2-row Grand Cherokee seats up to five, with 37.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and 70.8 cubic feet with the second row folded, enough for a Costco run for a family of five or a set of golf bags and a cooler for a Winnipesaukee weekend. Buyers who need to seat six or seven regularly should look at the Grand Cherokee L instead, covered on its own overview and in the Grand Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee L comparison. Every trim from Laredo Altitude up runs the more powerful Hurricane engine, and interior trim and materials step up meaningfully by the time a buyer reaches Overland or Summit: real leather, heated and ventilated seating, and the McIntosh audio system on Summit specifically.
The 2027 Grand Cherokee is rated for a best-in-class maximum of 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, on either engine and either body style, properly equipped; Jeep's own comparison chart puts that ahead of the segment's usual rivals. That's enough for a mid-size boat and trailer on the Route 16 run up to Lake Winnipesaukee, or a pop-up camper for a White Mountains weekend, without needing to step up to a truck-sized vehicle. Laredo's available max payload, properly equipped, runs 1,280 pounds. Every trim above Laredo X can be optioned with Quadra-Lift air suspension (standard on Trailhawk, Overland and Summit), which raises ride height for towing and loading. The Specs page has the full capacity table by configuration.
Three 4x4 systems carry the lineup: Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, which steps up the low-range capability on higher trims, and Quadra-Drive II, available at the top of the range. Selec-Terrain lets a driver switch among Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow and Mud/Sand modes with a single dial. Trailhawk is the Trail Rated trim, adding the 2-speed transfer case and Quadra-Lift air suspension that give it real clearance and articulation over the standard trims, useful on a Seacoast winter when a nor'easter turns Route 1 into a slush field, not just a trailhead feature. Before setting up a Grand Cherokee behind a motorhome, check its drivetrain and recreational-towing procedure with Jeep Portsmouth rather than treating a trailer rating as permission to flat-tow.
A Seacoast commute means fog rolling off the water on Route 1A, headlights glaring through sideways rain on the Spaulding Turnpike, and a downtown Seacoast parking garage with a tighter turning radius than most drivers are used to. It's worth sorting the 2027 Grand Cherokee's driver-assist features by what they're actually solving rather than by a spec-sheet list.
For a Route 1 commute, ask how Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go is operated and how the vehicle signals its engagement. Intersection Collision Assist is another equipment item to check on the actual SUV. Understand warnings and limitations while parked; the driver remains responsible for spacing, observation, steering and braking rather than treating assistance as a guarantee.
A fitted Digital Rearview Mirror supplies a camera view that differs from an ordinary reflected view. Drowsy Driver Detection provides another form of assistance to understand before a longer Route 101 journey. Confirm the equipment and learn the alerts, while remembering that glare, weather and fatigue still require the driver’s own decisions and precautions.
Compare any fitted 360-degree Surround View Camera and Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist with the space around the actual vehicle. Learn their controls while parked and retain direct observation of people and obstacles. For a boat-trailer plan or a tight parking space, check the complete vehicle and accessory arrangement instead of assuming camera coverage settles clearance.
Summit buyers can evaluate quilted Palermo upholstery and a 19-speaker McIntosh system together during a showroom visit.
Ten trims is a lot to sort through. Here's how it breaks down by what a buyer actually needs:
A Limited 4x2 starts at $45,130 MSRP and Limited 4x4 at $47,130, while Limited Reserve 4x4 starts at $52,725, all before destination. Compare the actual cabin, assistance and suspension equipment before making the step up. Ask the team to keep the same passenger and trailer assumptions attached to each proposal so a payment change does not conceal a different requirement.
Jeep Portsmouth is a Jeep-only store on Lafayette Road (Route 1), which means the sales and service teams specialize in this lineup rather than splitting attention across a full Chrysler-Dodge-Ram floor. For Seacoast buyers in Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter, Somersworth and Rochester, that means a team that can speak specifically to how the Grand Cherokee's 4x4 systems, ground clearance and towing capacity hold up through a coastal winter and a Route 16 boat run to Lake Winnipesaukee, not a generalized pitch. Compare the in-stock configurations with the team before visiting, retaining the actual equipment and written terms alongside your passenger and trailer requirements.
The Premier Pure Promise gives the Grand Cherokee comparison a consistent buying process after its body and engine are selected. Premier Companies is locally and family-owned since 1979. The Premier People Promise pays staff no commission and describes the same experience during the purchase and throughout ownership, so service requirements can remain part of the conversation.
Premier Pure Price has been negotiation-free since 1995, following “We price our cars, not our customers.” The group uses CarGurus, Kelley Blue Book and Autotrader in its stated market comparisons. Through Premier Transparency, KBB trade values and available rates, rebates, residuals and incentives are accessible 24/7/365 with the vehicle price. Compare financing and any trade-in against the same inspected SUV rather than judge a monthly payment on its own.
Premier Personalization, Pure & Simple supports three ways to shop: 100% in person, 100% remote or a combination. Shop online with the inventory filters, value a trade, choose a payment plan and apply for credit from home. Test passenger fit and the selected controls in person if useful, then buy online after the equipment and terms are resolved. Premier can deliver anywhere, coast to coast; confirm the arrangements for that particular transaction.
Yes. Premier Personalization, Pure & Simple allows a showroom visit and remote buying to form one purchase. Keep the selected Grand Cherokee’s equipment, passenger-fit results and written proposal together as you continue online. Trade valuation and credit application can be prepared remotely, with the actual vehicle and coast-to-coast delivery arrangements confirmed before completion.
The two-row Laredo 4x2 starts at $39,730 MSRP and Summit 4x4 at $61,130, before the $1,995 destination charge. Keep drivetrain and equipment attached to the price comparison. Ask Jeep Portsmouth for the selected SUV’s complete written proposal, including options and applicable purchase charges, rather than treating a starting figure as the final transaction amount.
Laredo and Laredo X run a standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 (293 hp, 260 lb-ft). A Laredo Altitude pairs its turbocharged four-cylinder with 324 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, figures worth considering alongside the trailer's loaded weight before a northern trip. Both pair with a Gen IV 8-speed automatic and are rated for the same 6,200-lb maximum tow.
Jeep lists a properly equipped maximum of 6,200 pounds with either engine. Confirm the selected vehicle’s factory towing equipment and actual ratings before matching a loaded trailer. Published configuration figures can differ from the lineup maximum; passengers, cargo and hitch load must also fit the SUV’s carrying, axle and combined-weight limits.
Yes, Trailhawk is part of the 2027 Grand Cherokee lineup. Compare its Quadra-Lift air suspension, two-speed transfer case and fitted tire arrangement with the actual vehicle record. Inspect passenger access and ordinary cargo needs as well, so the traction-focused equipment is weighed against the way your household will use the SUV.
The 2027 Laredo has a 10.1-inch touchscreen and separate digital instruments, while Laredo Altitude adds a 12.3-inch navigation screen; compare the two interfaces seated in the vehicle, then check how comfortably you can read directions before a Seacoast test drive.
Five passengers fit the regular body; additional seats require the L. Buyers who need seating for six or seven should look at the Grand Cherokee L, a longer three-row body sold alongside the standard Grand Cherokee. See the Grand Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee L comparison before deciding how much space your household needs.
With the L, family shopping shifts to a longer body with room for up to seven and a maximum 84.6 cubic feet of cargo space, making passenger count and driveway fit practical starting points. The full comparison is on the Grand Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee L page.
Use the Grand Cherokee inventory to select an in-stock SUV, then ask the team to confirm its body, drivetrain and installed equipment. Keep that vehicle identity with your appointment and written price comparison. A broad model description cannot establish which roof, seating or towing package accompanies the particular Grand Cherokee you inspect.
For another model-year comparison, review the 2026 Grand Cherokee with its own equipment and condition record before deciding.
