Stellantis Jeep has brought back the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Overland for the 2027 model year, after the two trims took a hiatus in 2026.Both are powered by the Hurricane 4, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that pumps out 324 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque.The Trailhawk features red tow hooks in the front bumper, 11.4 inches of ground clearance, and six steel skid plates to protect the important mechanical bits.When Jeep unveiled the refreshed Grand Cherokee last fall, the mid-size SUV was supposed to continue offering the off-road-oriented Trailhawk trim exclusively with the 4xe plug-in-hybrid powertrain. But then, in January, Stellantis axed every PHEV model it sells, taking the 2026 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with it. For 2027, the Trailhawk is back, now packing the turbocharged Hurricane 4 engine, with the Overland trim also making a return.
The Trailhawk trim first arrived in 2013 and has served as the more all-terrain-capable version of Jeep's mid-size SUV ever since. The 2027 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk maintains that positioning, featuring the Quadra-Trac II 4x4 system with a two-speed transfer case, 31-inch-tall Goodyear Territory all-terrain tires, and the Quadra-Lift air suspension with semi-active electronic damping.
