2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Engines, dimensions, cargo, towing and warranty coverage, all in one reference.
Key Numbers
Buyers comparing hard numbers on the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee, whether shopping from Exeter, Dover, Somersworth, Rochester or Portsmouth itself, want dimensions, weights and capacities in one place rather than scattered across a brochure. This page has them all: engines, exterior and interior dimensions, towing and payload by configuration, wheels and tires, fuel economy, warranty and a curated feature grid by trim. For trim pricing and positioning, see All Trims Compared; for the full model story, see the Overview.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Transmission | Trims |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 293 hp | 260 lb-ft | Gen IV 8-speed automatic | Laredo, Laredo X |
| 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo | 324 hp | 332 lb-ft | Gen IV 8-speed automatic | Laredo Altitude and above |
Both engines are rated for the same best-in-class 6,200-lb maximum tow when properly equipped, and the Hurricane engine carries an estimated 529-mile driving range on a tank. Every 2027 Grand Cherokee runs on regular unleaded from a 23-gallon fuel tank.
| Dimension | 2-Row Grand Cherokee | Grand Cherokee L |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 193.5 in | 204.9 in (Summit) |
| Width | 77.5 in | 77.5 in |
| Height | 70.8 in | 70.8 in |
| Wheelbase | 116.7 in | 116.7 in |
| Ground clearance (raised suspension) | 11.4 in | 11.4 in |
| Approach angle | 36 degrees | 36 degrees |
| Breakover angle | 24.4 degrees | 24.4 degrees |
| Departure angle | 30.3 degrees | 30.3 degrees |
Curb weight on the 2-row Grand Cherokee runs 4,238 pounds, against a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 6,050 pounds. The 11.4-inch ground clearance figure is the raised, air-suspension configuration; a buyer cross-shopping the standard-suspension figure should confirm the exact number with Jeep Portsmouth, since Jeep's own materials describe this as a model-wide capability figure rather than breaking it out by suspension type.
| Configuration | Seating | Cargo (seats up) | Cargo (max, seats folded) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Row Grand Cherokee | Up to 5 | 37.7 cu ft (behind 2nd row) | 70.8 cu ft (2nd row folded) |
| Grand Cherokee L | Up to 7 (bench) or 6 (captain's chairs) | 17.2 cu ft (behind 3rd row) | 84.6 cu ft (2nd and 3rd rows folded) |
The 2-row's 70.8 cubic feet with the second row folded covers a Costco run for a family of five or gear for a Winnipesaukee weekend; the L's 84.6 cubic feet maximum is built for a full carload of luggage or flat-packed furniture. Buyers weighing the two bodies should see the Grand Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee L comparison for the full breakdown.
| Figure | Rating | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum towing | 6,200 lbs | Properly equipped, either engine, either body style |
| Maximum payload | 1,280 lbs | Laredo, properly equipped |
Jeep publishes the 6,200-lb maximum tow rating as best-in-class for the segment. It's achievable on the V6, properly equipped, and the Hurricane Turbo matches that same figure, properly equipped, on either body style. A single-axle travel trailer or an 18-foot aluminum boat and trailer both fall well inside that number, with plenty of margin left over.
| Trim | Wheel | Tire |
|---|---|---|
| Laredo Upland | 18-inch Trailhawk-inspired | 265/60R18 all-terrain |
| Limited | New 20-inch design for 2027 | Highway, sized to the 20-inch wheel |
| Trailhawk | 18-inch Mid-Gloss Crystal | All-terrain |
Wheel design is one of the clearest visual tells between trims on the lot: Laredo Upland and Trailhawk both run an 18-inch wheel with all-terrain rubber for a rugged look and real unpaved grip, while Limited's new-for-2027 20-inch design leans toward the on-road, upscale end of the lineup.
| Configuration | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Cherokee 2WD Hurricane Turbo | 21 | 26 | 23 |
| Grand Cherokee 4WD Hurricane Turbo | 20 | 25 | 22 |
| Grand Cherokee 2WD V6 | 19 | 26 | 22 |
| Grand Cherokee 4WD V6 | 19 | 26 | 22 |
| Grand Cherokee L 2WD Hurricane Turbo | 21 | 26 | 23 |
| Grand Cherokee L 4WD Hurricane Turbo | 20 | 25 | 22 |
| Grand Cherokee L 2WD V6 | 19 | 26 | 21 |
| Grand Cherokee L 4WD V6 | 18 | 25 | 21 |
Figures are EPA combined ratings per fueleconomy.gov. The Hurricane Turbo engine beats the V6 on combined economy in every matching configuration, on top of its horsepower and torque advantage.

S = standard, O = available, "not std" = not standard equipment on that trim group. See All Trims Compared for the full per-trim breakdown.
Sorted by what a Seacoast commute actually throws at a driver: Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Intersection Collision Assist handle the stop-and-go grind and blind side-street junctions common on Route 1 between Portsmouth and Exeter, a Digital Rearview Mirror and Drowsy Driver Detection cover the low-visibility and long-haul cases (fog off the water, a late drive back from the White Mountains), and the 360-degree Surround View Camera with Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist handle tight downtown parking or backing a trailer down a boat ramp. Summit carries the widest standard spread of this equipment in the lineup, and Hands-Free Active Driving Assist rides on any trim running the Hurricane Turbo engine (Laredo Altitude and above), which means Laredo and Laredo X don't get it on their base V6.
None of these systems replace attentive driving, especially in a Seacoast nor'easter whiteout or blowing sand on Route 1A; treat every assist feature as a backup, not a substitute for slowing down.
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Basic (bumper-to-bumper) | 3 years / 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
| Rust-through | 5 years / unlimited miles |
| Roadside assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles |

| The Number | What It Means |
|---|---|
| 77.5 in wide | Clears a standard 9-ft residential garage bay with mirrors folded; check mirror-out width on an older or narrower Seacoast garage before assuming it fits. |
| 193.5 in long (2-row) vs. 204.9 in (L Summit) | The L runs about a foot longer, worth checking against a tight driveway or an angled downtown Portsmouth parking space. |
| 11.4-in ground clearance (raised) | Matters more for a sandy beach-access road or an unplowed driveway after a nor'easter than for daily pavement driving. |
| Up to 5 seats (2-row) vs. up to 7 (L) | The practical fork is carpool and grandkid capacity, not raw preference; regular 6-7 passenger trips point to the L. |
77.5 inches, the same on both the 2-row and the Grand Cherokee L Summit, which clears a standard 9-foot garage bay with mirrors folded.
The 2-row carries 37.7 cubic feet behind the second row and 70.8 cubic feet with it folded. The Grand Cherokee L carries 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row and up to 84.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded.
Up to 11.4 inches on the raised, air-suspension configuration. Confirm the standard-suspension figure with Jeep Portsmouth if that's the configuration you're comparing.
No. Payload varies by trim and configuration; Laredo's own available payload runs 1,280 pounds. Confirm the exact figure for a specific trim with Jeep Portsmouth.
The 3.6L V6 makes 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque; the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo makes 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft despite the smaller displacement, and also runs slightly better EPA combined fuel economy in matching configurations.
Yes. The 5-year rust-through warranty carries no mileage limit at all, unlike the 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, which matters more on the Seacoast than in most other parts of the country.
Up to 5 in the standard 2-row body. The Grand Cherokee L seats up to 6 with available captain's chairs or 7 with a bench second row.
Wheel size and design vary by trim: Laredo Upland and Trailhawk both run 18-inch wheels on all-terrain tires, while Limited gets a new 20-inch design for 2027. See the Trims page for the full per-trim breakdown.
4,238 pounds on the 2-row Grand Cherokee, against a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 6,050 pounds. Exact curb weight varies somewhat by trim and options.
A 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen is available across the lineup. Laredo and Laredo X come standard with a 10.1-inch screen for 2027, up from 8.4 inches previously.
