Some adventures call for more than all-wheel drive. The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is engineered for drivers who want serious off-road capability in an SUV that can still handle daily commutes, errands, and family trips. With specialized 4×4 technology, adjustable suspension, all-terrain tires, and protective skid plates, the Trailhawk is ready to take on challenging trails. At Northland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, located at 14100 West Eight Mile Road in Oak Park, Michigan, we’re about 15 minutes from Detroit via M-10 North. Explore what makes the returning Grand Cherokee Trailhawk stand out and learn how its engineering supports your next adventure.
Turbocharged Power Meets Controlled Performance
The 2027 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk pairs a 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain produces 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, giving the SUV the muscle to climb inclines, navigate uneven ground, and maintain responsive performance on the highway. Peak torque arrives at 3,000 rpm, while the transmission helps manage power delivery at lower speeds when precise control matters most. The Trailhawk’s powertrain works alongside its specialized four-wheel-drive hardware to help drivers tackle changing surfaces. Rather than relying on engine output alone, the SUV combines power, traction management, and suspension technology to keep moving when terrain becomes more demanding.
- Engine: 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo
- Horsepower: 324 hp
- Torque: 332 lb-ft
- Transmission: Eight-speed automatic
What Does Jeep Trail Rated Mean?
The Trailhawk’s off-road equipment helps it navigate surfaces that can challenge a conventional SUV. Its Quadra-Trac II 4×4 system features a two-speed transfer case that helps direct torque where traction is needed. The Selec-Terrain system adds a Rock mode, giving drivers a setting tailored to rocky and uneven surfaces. A rear electronic limited-slip differential further helps manage traction when individual wheels encounter different levels of grip. These systems work together to support controlled progress across loose gravel, mud, rocks, and other difficult terrain. The Trailhawk also carries the Trail Rated badge, which reflects testing in five key areas of off-road performance.
- Traction: Helps maintain grip on changing surfaces
- Water Fording: Designed and tested for demanding conditions
- Maneuverability: Supports navigating tight trails
- Articulation: Helps tires stay in contact with uneven ground
- Ground Clearance: Provides room to clear obstacles
Always follow the owner’s manual and vehicle-specific water-fording limits when driving through water.
How Much Ground Clearance Does the 2027 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Have?
Off-road capability depends on more than getting power to the wheels. The 2027 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk features the Quadra-Lift air suspension system with electronic semi-active damping, allowing the vehicle to adjust its ride height to suit different driving situations. At its maximum setting, the Trailhawk offers up to 11.4 inches of ground clearance, helping it clear rocks, ruts, and other obstacles. Its purpose-built exterior measurements further supports off-road travel. The front fascia is designed to improve the approach angle, while the breakover and departure angles help the SUV navigate crests and steep changes in elevation. Six high-strength steel skid plates protect key components underneath the vehicle, including the engine, transmission, transfer case, suspension components, and fuel tank.
Key measurements and protective features include:
- Ground Clearance: Up to 11.4 inches
- Approach Angle: 36 degrees
- Breakover Angle: 24.4 degrees
- Departure Angle: 30.3 degrees

What Other Off-Roading Features Does the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Offer?
The Trailhawk’s details serve practical purposes on the trail. Its 30.5-inch Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires and 18-inch Granite Crystal wheels provide a setup suited to varied surfaces. Red tow hooks add a recognizable Trailhawk design cue, while an integrated TrailCam off-road camera helps drivers see obstacles ahead. Dynamic tire-path guidelines assist with positioning the vehicle, and a rear camera washer helps keep the rear camera clear when conditions get messy. Inside, the Trailhawk brings useful information and comfort into the cabin. Off-Road Pages let drivers monitor vehicle dynamics, gauges, pitch and roll, traction settings, and suspension information. Nappa leather seating with red stitching adds an upscale touch, while the 12.3-inch infotainment display provides a central hub for compatible vehicle technology.
