Jeep Reinstates Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Overland for 2027

Shifting both trims from the discontinued 4xe plug-in hybrid to a 2.0‑liter Hurricane turbo engine, Jeep confirmed production at Stellantis’ Detroit Assembly Complex – Mack.

Overview

  • Jeep announced Monday that the Trailhawk and Overland will return to the Grand Cherokee lineup for the 2027 model year with production allocated to the Detroit Assembly Complex – Mack and dealer arrivals expected later in 2026.
  • Both trims use the new 2.0‑liter Hurricane turbocharged four‑cylinder rated at 324 horsepower and 332 lb‑ft of torque rather than the prior 4xe plug‑in hybrid powertrain.
  • The Trailhawk keeps a full off‑road kit including Quadra‑Trac II with a two‑speed transfer case, Selec‑Terrain Rock mode, Quadra‑Lift air suspension with semi‑active damping, a rear electronic limited‑slip differential, 30.5‑inch all‑terrain tires, TrailCam and six steel skid plates for best‑in‑class clearance.
  • The Overland returns as the premium off‑road option with Nappa leather, 21‑inch machine‑face wheels, Quadra‑Lift suspension, hill‑descent control and a standard 360° surround‑view camera to blend comfort with capability.
  • Jeep said pricing and final equipment levels will be announced closer to launch, and the move follows the earlier discontinuation of the 4xe after battery‑related recalls that removed the electrified option from the 2026 lineup.
