Engine assignments are simple for 2027: the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 293 horsepower serves Laredo and Laredo X, and the 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 turbo, 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft through a new Gen IV 8-speed automatic, is standard on everything else. No trim makes you pick.

What matters most in Kent County is the drivetrain menu: Quadra-Trac I full-time 4x4, Quadra-Trac II with low range, and Quadra-Drive II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential, all managed through Selec-Terrain with a dedicated Snow mode. Both engines tow the same best-in-class 6,200 pounds, properly equipped.

• 293-hp Pentastar V6 on Laredo and Laredo X
• Selec-Terrain with Snow mode on 4x4 models

• Best-in-class 6,200-lb towing on both engines, properly equipped

Every 2027 Grand Cherokee fronts the driver with a 10.25-inch digital cluster, and the center stack finally goes big across the board: a new 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen on Laredo and Laredo X, and the 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV screen from Laredo Altitude up.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, the class-exclusive 10.25-inch front-passenger display remains available, and the Limited picks up a wireless charging pad this year. Audio tops out with the Summit's 19-speaker McIntosh system.

Choose any Hurricane 4 trim and Active Driving Assist joins standard, easing stop-and-go on US-131 with adaptive cruise plus lane centering. Hands-free driving assistance, a 360-degree camera, and night vision sit on the options sheet above that.

Michigan winters make the comfort ladder more than a luxury list: heated front seats arrive early in the range, the Limited heats the second row too, and the Summit finishes with heated, ventilated, and massaging front chairs under quilted Palermo leather.

The two-row cabin seats five with 37.7 cubic feet behind the bench and 70.8 folded, while the Grand Cherokee L brings three rows, seven seats, and up to 84.6 cubic feet for the full hockey-bag season.

• Heated front seats early in the trim walk
• Heated second-row seats standard on Limited
• Quilted Palermo leather and massage seats on Summit

Growing to ten trims lets the 2027 body play more parts. A rugged newcomer, the Laredo Upland, brings gray hooks and all-terrain rubber to the middle of the range; the Trailhawk rejoins later this year with skid-plate armor, 30.5-inch Goodyears, and a lifted 11.4 inches of class-best clearance; the Overland, also a late arrival, answers with machined 21s and bright hooks.

Reach the Overland, Trailhawk, or Summit and Quadra-Lift air springs come along standard, dropping the body at highway speed and raising it when Kent County pavement runs out. High Gloss Black and Sting Gray headline the new paint. See which configurations reach the Grandville lot first.

• Ten trims for 2027
• New Laredo Upland with all-terrain rubber
• Trailhawk and Overland return
• Quadra-Lift air suspension on the top three trims
• New High Gloss Black and Sting Gray colors
