The kings of off road adventure are back. The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee officially brings back the legendary Trailhawk and Overland trims, armed with a powerful new turbocharged engine and serious off road capability, signaling Jeep’s renewed commitment to conquering rugged terrain.
Adventure enthusiasts have a reason to celebrate as Jeep has responded to customer demand by reintroducing two of the most popular trims in the Grand Cherokee lineup for 2027: the rugged Trailhawk and the luxurious Overland. Both models were absent from the 2026 range but are now making a strong comeback with significant mechanical changes.
A Powerful New Turbo Engine Replaces Hybrid Power
Rather than continuing with the expensive and complex plug in hybrid powertrains, Jeep has equipped both models with Stellantis’ new Hurricane 4 turbocharged engine.
Hurricane 4 Engine Specifications
- 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder engine
- 324 horsepower
- 450 Nm of torque
- 8 speed automatic transmission
- Maximum towing capacity of 2,812 kg (6,200 lbs) with the standard Trailer Tow package
The move follows Stellantis’ decision to discontinue the Grand Cherokee PHEV lineup, allowing Jeep to reposition the Trailhawk as a pure off road SUV powered by a conventional turbocharged engine.
2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
Since its debut in 2013, the Trailhawk has served as Jeep’s most capable off road version of the Grand Cherokee. The 2027 model continues that tradition with an impressive range of off road hardware.
Key features include:
- Quadra Trac II four wheel drive system with a two speed transfer case
- Quadra Lift air suspension with semi active electronic damping
- 29 cm (11.4 inch) ground clearance
- 36 degree approach angle and 30 degree departure angle
- Six steel skid plates protecting key mechanical components
- Red front tow hooks
- Matte black hood decal to reduce glare
- 18 inch Granite Crystal wheels wrapped in 31 inch Goodyear all terrain tires
- Black Nappa leather interior with red accents
2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
For buyers seeking luxury without sacrificing capability, the Overland trim combines premium comfort with serious off road credentials.
Like the Trailhawk, it features the Hurricane 4 engine, Quadra Trac II four wheel drive system, and Quadra Lift air suspension, but adds several upscale touches:
- Chrome front tow hooks
- Body colored bumpers
- 21 inch polished aluminum wheels
- Premium Nappa leather upholstery
- Heated and ventilated seats
- Exclusive Overland interior branding
Expected Pricing And Availability
The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Overland are expected to arrive at dealerships later this year.
Industry estimates suggest pricing could start around:
- Trailhawk: approximately $50,000 USD
- Overland: approximately $60,000 USD
Official pricing has not yet been announced by Jeep.
ArabGT Verdict
Replacing the complex 4xe hybrid system with the new Hurricane 4 turbo engine may prove to be one of Jeep’s smartest decisions for Middle Eastern markets. Buyers in the region continue to value mechanical simplicity, durability, and reliability when tackling extreme heat, sand, and rocky terrain. With its impressive ground clearance, proven four wheel drive systems, and renewed focus on off road performance, the return of the Trailhawk is set to reignite competition in the midsize SUV segment.
