2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee Trailhawk vs. Overland: Two Kinds of Jeep Capability

The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Overland give Jeep SUV shoppers two clear ways to choose capability. Trailhawk is the more trail-focused Grand Cherokee, while Overland brings premium comfort with real Jeep 4×4 confidence built in.¹

For drivers around St. Albans, that is a strong combination. A Grand Cherokee can make sense for a week that includes Fairfax Road errands, Route 36 drives out toward the Bay, winter mornings, school and sports gear, and weekend plans that call for more SUV than a basic commuter. With Trailhawk and Overland returning for 2027, Jeep is giving shoppers two distinct personalities in one familiar Grand Cherokee family.

What Is the Difference Between the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Overland?

The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is the rugged, trail-focused choice. The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland is the more refined adventure choice. Both are built around Grand Cherokee versatility, but they put the emphasis in different places.

Choose Trailhawk if your idea of a Grand Cherokee includes all-terrain tires, skid plates, Rock mode, TrailCam visibility, and Trail Rated confidence.

What Makes the 2027 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Different?

The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk puts off-road capability at the center of the experience. Jeep identifies Trailhawk as the most capable trim in the Grand Cherokee lineup, and its equipment list is built around that purpose.

Trailhawk returns with the new 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 Turbo engine, producing 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, giving the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk responsive power and controlled low-speed behavior when conditions call for careful driving.

Key Trailhawk features include:

• Quadra-Trac II 4×4 system with a two-speed transfer case
• Selec-Terrain traction control system with Rock mode
• Quadra-Lift air suspension with electronic semi-active damping
• Rear electronic limited-slip differential

• Integrated TrailCam off-road camera with dynamic tire path
• Six high-strength steel skid plates
• Trail Rated® engineering
• Up to 11.4 inches of ground clearance
• Maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds when properly equipped

This is the Grand Cherokee for drivers who want more than a rugged appearance package. Trailhawk is the trim to watch if your weekends include bike racks for the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail, camp gear for St. Albans Bay, or muddy-road plans outside town.

What Makes the 2027 Grand Cherokee Overland Different?

The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland gives shoppers a more premium way to enjoy Grand Cherokee capability. It is still built with meaningful 4×4 hardware, but its personality leans toward comfort, design, and everyday refinement.

Overland adds upscale touches such as Nappa leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, 21-inch machine-faced wheels, distinctive interior accents, and a more polished exterior look. It is the Grand Cherokee for drivers who want capability available when needed, but also want the cabin to feel comfortable on weekday commutes, downtown parking, and longer drives beyond Franklin County.

Key Overland features include:

• Quadra-Trac II with a two-speed transfer case
• Quadra-Lift air suspension
• Hill-descent control
• Semi-active damping
• Standard 360-degree surround-view camera with washer
• Nappa leather upholstery
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated rear seats
• 21-inch machine-faced wheels

Overland keeps the Jeep character, but presents it in a more refined package. It is a strong fit for shoppers who want one SUV that feels comfortable every day and still has the hardware to support a more adventurous weekend.

• The most trail-focused Grand Cherokee trim
• Trail Rated capability
• All-terrain tires and skid plates
