2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review


Life around Mansfield, Easton, and Brockton, Massachusetts, can put a lot of demands on an SUV. You might need room for passengers and gear during the week, confident performance for highway driving, and enough capability for a trip to the coast or a weekend beyond the pavement.

This 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee review from 24 Auto Group explores the features that matter when you're choosing an SUV for real Massachusetts driving, from its performance and cargo capacity to its technology and safety features.

Key Takeaways

  • The Grand Cherokee can tow up to 6,200 pounds, giving you the strength to bring a boat, trailer, or recreational equipment along.
  • Look for features such as the 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen, Active Driving Assist, and McIntosh® audio system on Summit models.
  • Decide between the two-row Grand Cherokee for up to five passengers or the Grand Cherokee L for three-row seating and room for up to seven.

How Does the Grand Cherokee Perform On-Road and Off?

The Grand Cherokee pairs the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine with a new Gen IV transmission for precise handling and track-ready response. It backs that up with a towing capacity of 6,200 pounds on both the Hurricane 4 Turbo and 3.6L Pentastar® V6, plenty for a boat trailer down to Plymouth Harbor.

Off-road, the Trailhawk® trim carries a Trail Rated® badge across traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording, and the whole lineup claims Best-in-Class ground clearance, approach angle, departure angle and ramp breakover angle. Three available 4x4 systems back it up: the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System (Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, Mud/Sand modes) and the Class-Exclusive Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension, standard on Overland, Trailhawk® and Summit, which lowers at highway speed and raises for trail clearance.

How Much Room Is There for Passengers and Cargo?

It depends on which body style you pick: the 2-row seats up to 5 with 70.8 cubic feet of cargo room, while the Grand Cherokee L adds a third row for up to 7 passengers and 84.6 cubic feet of space. That's enough room for a Duxbury Beach cooler run or hauling gear for the whole team to a Kingston tournament without folding a single seat.

Learn More About Technology Features

The Jeep Grand Cherokee puts useful technology within easy reach, starting with an available 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen with navigation, SiriusXM®, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ compatibility. Available upgrades include a 10-inch Head-Up Display, 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display, wireless charging pad, Digital Rearview Mirror, and second-row entertainment screens with Amazon Fire TV.

Summit models add a premium McIntosh® audio system with 19 speakers, a 950-watt amplifier, and a 10-inch subwoofer. The Jeep® Connect app also gives you access to features such as Vehicle Finder, Vehicle Health Reports, Remote Vehicle Operations, and Send & Go navigation.

For Massachusetts drivers, these features can have a practical role in everyday travel. Pull up directions before heading from Somerset to New Bedford, keep your phone charged during a drive toward Fall River, or use the available navigation and connected features when planning a longer trip across the South Coast.

Is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Safe?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a wide range of safety and driver-assistance features designed to support you during everyday driving. For Massachusetts drivers, these systems can be especially useful around busy intersections, highways, and crowded parking areas.

  • Active Driving Assist
  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Blind Spot Monitoring
  • ParkSense® Rear Park Assist

These features have a practical purpose beyond the specification sheet. Active Driving Assist can be useful during longer highway trips, while Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection can help in busy South Coast traffic and crowded parking lots. Together, they give Grand Cherokee drivers additional information during everyday situations.
