Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Overland Return

And they're back! Jeep is confirming the return of the Trailhawk and Overland trims to the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup following a model-year hiatus.

The Trailhawk wasn't originally supposed to take a year off.  It was slated to be part of the refreshed 2026 Grand Cherokee lineup. But Stellantis axed all of its plug-in hybrids, among those, the Trailhawk 4xe.

For 2027, both the Trailhawk and Overland will be powered by a new 2.0-liter turbocharged Hurricane 4 Turbo engine good for 324 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of torque.  It's mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. 

Trailhawk 

The Trailhawk, the most capable Grand Cherokee in the lineup, was first introduced in 2013. For 2027, Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is equipped with:

• Quadra-Trac II 4x4 system with two-speed transfer case
• Selec-Terrain traction control system with Rock mode
• Quadra-Lift air suspension system with electronic semi-active damping
• Rear electronic limited-slip differential
• 30.5-inch Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires
• Integrated TrailCam off-road camera with dynamic tire path and rear camera washer
• Six high-strength steel skid plates to protect the engine, transmission, transfer case, suspension components and the fuel tank

The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk has a maximum best-in-class ground clearance of 11.4 inches and best-in-class approach, breakover and departure angles of 36, 24.4, and 30.3 degrees, respectively.

The Trailhawk rides on 18-inch Granite Crystal wheels wrapped by all-terrain tires.  It also features dark neutral metallic accents, exterior Trailhawk badging and an additional red tow hook.  The cabin features Nappa leather seating finished in Global Black with red accent stitching. Tech includes a  12.3-inch infotainment display.

Overland

Overland serves as the lineup's premium off-road offering, blending refinement, premium amenities and legitimate off-road capability. Exterior design elements include bright tow hooks, painted black lower bodywork and 21-inch machine-faced wheels with mid-gloss Granite Crystal pockets. A body-color painted roof and Silver Silk exterior add to its upscale vibe. The cabin features Nappa leather upholstery with “Overland” embossing on the front seat backs

The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland's roster of off-road equipment, includes:

• Quadra-Trac II with a two-speed transfer case
• Class-exclusive Quadra-Lift air suspension
• Hill-descent Control
• Semi-Active Damping

Availability

The Grand Cherokee Overland joins the lineup later this year alongside Trailhawk. Production is set to take place at Stellantis’ Detroit Assembly Complex – Mack in Michigan. Pricing and additional details will be provided at a later date.
