The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers a balanced combination of off-road capability, refined cabin materials, and practical cargo room for midsize SUV buyers. Power comes from an available turbocharged engine that produces up to 324 horsepower while supporting serious towing needs. At Watsonville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we help shoppers from nearby Santa Cruz evaluate powertrain choices and trim levels in a relaxed showroom environment.
The standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine produces 293 horsepower, while the available 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 Turbo engine delivers 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Both powertrains pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and support up to 6,200 pounds of maximum towing capacity when properly equipped to handle mountain climbs and highway drives near local coastal routes.
Inside the cabin, two-row models accommodate up to five passengers with 37.7 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row. Folding the rear seats opens up 70.8 cubic feet of total cargo space for gear, luggage, or sporting equipment. High-trim models offer premium Nappa leather seating surfaces and available heated and ventilated front seats for enhanced daily comfort.
Base trims feature a standard 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen display, while higher configurations upgrade to an available 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen system. Standard safety technologies include Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and Active Lane Management. Available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist provides semi-autonomous driving support on compatible highways.
For 2027, the Jeep Grand Cherokee introduces the new Laredo Upland trim, featuring 18-inch Trailhawk-inspired wheels, all-terrain tires, and Vapor Gray tow hooks. Base Laredo and Laredo X trims receive an upgraded standard 10.1-inch touchscreen, replacing the previous 8.4-inch display. The available 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 Turbo engine sees a power output boost to 324 horsepower, while wireless charging becomes standard equipment on Limited models.
Daily driving across northern Santa Cruz County requires an SUV capable of handling changing weather and varied terrain. The available Quadra-Trac II two-speed transfer case and Selec-Terrain traction management system allow drivers in Gilroy and Hollister to navigate coastal fog, rain, or dirt trails with confidence. Generous interior passenger space and flexible cargo configurations make this midsize SUV practical for weekday commutes, school drop-offs, and weekend excursions to regional state parks.
