2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Rejoins the Lineup 25 Years After Its Debut With Quadra-Lift Air Suspension
June 21 2026,
The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee gives New Brunswick shoppers two distinct paths to the same trusted nameplate. The Trailhawk returns as the most off-road-focused trim in the lineup, while the Overland comes back as the premium, refined option that first joined the family 25 years ago. Both keep the legitimate 4x4 character the Grand Cherokee is known for, but they speak to different priorities.
If you are weighing one against the other, the differences come down to capability hardware, wheel and tire setup, and how much polish you want inside. This guide breaks down what each trim brings so you can decide which one fits your driving in New Brunswick.
Performance and Capability
The Trailhawk is built to go where pavement ends. It runs the 2.0L turbocharged Hurricane 4 Turbo engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 324 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. That powertrain feeds a serious off-road package, and the numbers back it up.
- Ground clearance of 28.9 cm
- Approach angle of 36 degrees
- Breakover angle of 24.4 degrees
- Departure angle of 30.3 degrees
- Maximum towing of 6,200 lbs (2,812 kg)
The Trailhawk also carries the Trail Rated badge, validated through demanding off-road testing including water fording, articulation and traction. Its 30.5-inch Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires and 18-inch Granite Crystal wheels round out the rugged setup.
The Overland keeps legitimate off-road hardware too, including Quadra-Trac II with a two-speed transfer case, Quadra-Lift air suspension, Hill-descent Control and semi-active damping. It leans toward refinement while staying capable off the beaten path.
Interior and Technology
Both trims use Nappa leather upholstery, but each takes a different approach to finish and detail.
- The Trailhawk features Global Black Nappa leather with red accent stitching and a 12.3-inch infotainment display.
- The Overland features Nappa leather with pronounced “Overland” embossing on the front seat backs, heated and ventilated front seats, and standard heated rear seats.
The Overland adds a standard 360-degree surround view camera with washer and unique “An-Teak” Satin Chrome interior accents, leaning into its premium position.
Exterior Design
The Trailhawk wears function-first styling: signature red tow hooks, a matte black glare-resistant hood decal with red “Trailhawk” detailing, and dark neutral metallic accents.
The Overland takes a more aggressive front end with bright tow hooks, painted black lower bodywork, 21-inch machine-faced wheels with mid-gloss Granite Crystal pockets, a body-colour roof and Silver Silk accents.
Which Model Is Right for You?
Choose the Trailhawk if your priority is maximum capability. The Hurricane 4 Turbo power, 28.9 cm of ground clearance, best-in-class approach, breakover and departure angles, all-terrain tires and Trail Rated credentials make it the trim to take on tough terrain.
Choose the Overland if you want a more refined, premium feel while still keeping real off-road hardware. Its 21-inch wheels, surround view camera, ventilated front seats and Quadra-Lift air suspension suit drivers who spend more time on the highway but still venture off-road on weekends.
Both trims are coming to New Brunswick dealerships, so the decision comes down to how you balance trail capability against everyday polish.
Conclusion
The 2027 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Overland give shoppers two confident ways into one of the most recognized SUVs on the road. The Trailhawk earns its place with the Hurricane 4 Turbo engine and Trail Rated capability, while the Overland builds on 25 years of refined, do-it-all character.
