Jeep Confirms Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Returns This Year

The comeback signals a move away from the plug-in Trailhawk toward traditional gas power.

Overview

  • Jeep, which issued a teaser Friday, said the off-road trim returns later this year, with reports pointing to a 2027 model-year debut.
  • The shadowed image shows a red tow hook, a blacked-out grille, and a hood graphic that hint at a tougher front end.
  • Powertrain details are unannounced, and reports note it will not use the dropped 4xe plug-in hybrid that Stellantis pulled from the lineup earlier this year.
  • Outlets expect familiar Trailhawk hardware including added ground clearance, revised bumpers, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and advanced four-wheel drive.
  • Separate spy photos suggest a Trailhawk version of the smaller Cherokee is in testing, though Jeep has not confirmed that model.
