Combined output for every 2027 Jeep Cherokee is 210 horsepower, with torque at 230 pound-feet. Behind it sit a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, two electric motor-generators and an electronic variable transmission. Regenerative braking and the engine generate all of its electricity, with no charging required. It runs on 87-octane regular. City driving returns an EPA-estimated 39 mpg on the five core trims, with 35 highway and 37 combined.

Range on those trims tops 500 miles per tank, according to Jeep. Their Active Drive I 4x4 brings in the rear axle automatically when needed. Selec-Terrain covers Auto, Sport and Sand/Mud, plus a Snow mode for Missouri winters. Trail Rated hardware defines the new Trailhawk: Active Drive II, Rock mode, a locking rear axle and a two-speed power transfer unit. Jeep estimates it at 31 mpg combined. The lineup tows up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.

Two displays greet the driver in any 2027 Jeep Cherokee. The gauge cluster is a 10.25-inch digital display, while the touchscreen measures 12.3 inches. Uconnect 5 on the five core trims mirrors your phone wirelessly through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Maps and playlists land on the big screen without a cable. Two front USB-C ports, Bluetooth hands-free calling and a SiriusXM 360L trial are also included.

For a Limited or Limited Altitude, the Tech Group is the big technology decision. It brings HD Radio, an Alpine 9-speaker system with subwoofer and built-in TomTom navigation via Uconnect 5 Nav. Traffic Sign Information, Off-Road Info Pages and a hands-free power liftgate ride along. Every one of those items is standard on the Overland. All three trims also get wireless phone charging and a 115-volt outlet.

Each core trim of the 2027 Jeep Cherokee includes stop-and-go adaptive cruise control as standard. Layered on top is Active Driving Assist, a Level 2 driver-assistance system that leaves the driver responsible at all times. On a crowded I-270 commute, the pair takes some strain out of matching traffic speed. Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus brings active braking. Pedestrian/Cyclist Emergency Braking and Intersection Collision Assist are also standard.

Signs of a drowsy driver, such as lane deviation, trigger audible and visual alerts from Drowsy Driver Detection. Rear-Seat Reminder Alert and ParkSense rear park assist also come on the core trims. Overland buyers gain front park assist and Side Distance Warning. A 360-degree Surround View Camera with a bird's-eye view is part of the Advanced Pro Tech Group for the Overland and Trailhawk.

With both sides of the 60/40 rear seat folded, cargo room expands to 68.3 cubic feet. Each trim seats five across a pair of rows. Rear interior seat room ranks as unsurpassed in its class, Jeep says.
