2027 Jeep Cherokee Specs Hyannis

The 2027 Jeep Cherokee is 188.1 inches long with a 113.0-inch wheelbase, makes 210 horsepower from its hybrid powertrain, holds 68.3 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats folded and tows up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. For the model overview see the 2027 Cherokee page, and for what each trim adds see 2027 Cherokee Trims Compared.

2027 Cherokee Engine and Powertrain Specifications

Every 2027 Cherokee has the same powertrain, a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an electric motor.

The 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft figures describe the whole hybrid system working together, and they are the numbers that describe how the Cherokee drives.

The electricity that supplements the gas engine comes from the engine itself and from regenerative braking, which turns the energy of slowing down into charge. That makes the Cherokee a plugless hybrid: it refuels at any gas station, never needs a charging cable and uses regular gasoline. Stop-and-go July traffic is the kind of driving where regenerative braking does the most work.

Four-wheel drive is standard on every trim. Active Drive I serves the Cherokee, Laredo, Limited, Limited Altitude and Overland. On the Trailhawk, Active Drive II brings an electronically locking rear axle, Lock Mode and a two-speed power transfer unit, giving a 2.92 low range ratio, and Selec-Terrain offers five modes: Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand/Mud and Rock.

Exterior Dimensions and Weights

The Cherokee measures 188.1 inches long, 74.7 inches wide without mirrors and 67.5 inches tall on a 113.0-inch wheelbase.

At 188.1 inches the Cherokee is shorter than the Grand Cherokee's 193.5 inches, and its 20.2-foot turning radius suits the angled stalls at Hyannis and Falmouth shopping centers. Ground clearance is 8.0 inches on the Cherokee through the Overland, enough for a plowed-in driveway and a rutted access road, and the Trailhawk's one-inch lift takes it to 9.0 inches. See how the two Jeeps compare.

Interior Dimensions and Cargo

Passengers get 107 cubic feet of interior volume, and the cargo area holds 33.6 cubic feet behind the second row.

The Overland's panoramic sunroof lowers head room to 38.0 inches in front and 38.1 inches in the second row. Cargo volume is 33.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 68.3 cubic feet with the 60/40 split seat folded, in a five-seat, two-row cabin.

Rear-seat passengers have 38.5 inches of leg room and 57.6 inches of shoulder room, and the rear bench is a 60/40 split that folds flat for long loads. From the Laredo up, the second row has two charge-only USB ports, and heated front seats come with the same step. For a Kalmus Beach run, the 33.6 cubic feet behind the second row takes chairs, a cooler and a beach cart without folding anything.

Capacity and Capability: Towing

The 2027 Cherokee tows up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped, on every trim including the Trailhawk.

Jeep's owner's manual asks for no trailer towing for the first 500 miles and moderate speeds for the next 500 trailer miles. The wiring connector comes off before a boat goes in the water at a ramp such as Sesuit Harbor and goes back on once clear of it.

Trailhawk off-road specifications

Jeep calls the Trailhawk's approach, departure and breakover angles best in class, and it describes the 24-inch fording depth as the only one in the class. Beach sand on the Cape needs a permit and closes seasonally.

Wheels, Tires and Brakes

Wheel size climbs from 17 inches on the Cherokee to 20 inches on the Overland, and the Trailhawk returns to 17 inches with all-terrain tires.

Every trim has four-wheel disc brakes, strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension.

Wheel size is the quickest way to feel the difference between trims. The 17-inch wheels on the Cherokee carry a taller sidewall, the 18-inch wheels on the Laredo, Limited and Limited Altitude are the mid-point, and the Overland's 20-inch wheels carry a performance all-season tire. The Trailhawk's Nexen Rodian ATX tires are all-terrain tires sized 245/65R17, chosen for soft sand and loose surfaces.

Fuel Economy and Range

Jeep rates the 2027 Cherokee at 39 city, 35 highway and 37 combined mpg on every trim except the Trailhawk. The range is over 500 miles.

The 13.7-gallon tank and the 37 mpg combined rating are what produce the over 500-mile range Jeep quotes for every trim except the Trailhawk. On a Cape Cod commute that mixes highway speed with stop-and-go lines, the hybrid system is working in both halves of the drive.

Key Features by Trim

In the grid, S marks standard equipment and not std marks equipment that is not standard on that trim. It covers the Cherokee through the Overland.

Prices, packages and the full equipment list for each trim are on the 2027 Cherokee Trims Compared page.

The grid is the quickest way to see the equipment steps: heated front seats and remote start arrive on the Laredo, leatherette, the heated steering wheel and the power liftgate arrive on the Limited, and the panoramic sunroof, Alpine audio and navigation arrive on the Overland. Limited Altitude carries the Limited's equipment, with its changes on the outside.

Safety and Compliance

Jeep lists more than 140 standard and available safety and security features for the 2027 Cherokee.

Active Driving Assist is the semiautonomous driver-assistance system Jeep lists for the Cherokee, and it works alongside full-speed forward collision warning with active braking and Active Lane Management. Every trim has a rear camera, the Overland adds front, rear and side park sensors, and a 360-degree camera is available. For families, the LATCH anchors cover both outboard rear seats, with three tether anchors behind the second row.

Warranty Coverage

Jeep backs the 2027 Cherokee with a 3-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Roadside assistance runs for 5 years or 60,000 miles and covers 24-hour towing to the nearest authorized dealer after a mechanical breakdown, 12-volt battery jump starts, fuel delivery, tire service and lockout service. Fuel delivery is limited to two gallons and two occurrences in a 12-month period.

Maintenance intervals, fluids and what the schedule includes are on the 2027 Cherokee Service page.

Taken together, the numbers describe a compact-footprint SUV with a long tank range: the same 188.1-inch body that fits an older Cape garage carries over 500 miles of fuel, a 3,500-lb tow rating and 68.3 cubic feet of cargo space. For larger families or heavier trailers, the Grand Cherokee's numbers sit above the Cherokee's on length, cargo and towing, and the two are laid out side by side on the comparison page.

What These 2027 Cherokee Numbers Mean in Practice

The dimensions that decide a Cape Cod purchase are the small ones: how the Cherokee fits a garage, a summer lot and a boat-ramp approach.

2027 Jeep Cherokee Specifications FAQs

Is the 2027 Cherokee narrow enough for an older Cape garage?

At 74.7 inches wide without mirrors and 67.5 inches tall, the Cherokee fits a standard single garage door with room to spare, and folding the mirrors adds margin in a tighter bay.

How much cargo space does the Cherokee have with the rear seats up?

There are 33.6 cubic feet behind the second row, and the 60/40 split rear seat folds to open 68.3 cubic feet.

What is the Cherokee's turning radius?

Jeep lists a 20.2-foot turning radius, which keeps the Cherokee agile in angled parking lots.

What tire size does each Cherokee trim use?

The Cherokee uses P225/65TR17, the Laredo, Limited and Limited Altitude use P225/60TR18, the Overland uses P235/50HR20 and the Trailhawk uses 245/65R17 all-terrain tires.

How big is the Cherokee's fuel tank?

The tank holds 13.7 gallons of regular gasoline, which is good for over 500 miles on every trim except the Trailhawk.

Does the hybrid battery have its own warranty?

Yes. The high-voltage battery carries an 8-year or 100,000-mile limited warranty, separate from the 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Why do some listings show a lower horsepower number for the Cherokee?

Some listings print only the gas engine's output. Jeep rates the complete hybrid system at 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, and that combined output is what the vehicle delivers.

How much does the 2027 Cherokee weigh?

Curb weight runs from 4,276 pounds on the Cherokee to 4,545 pounds on the Trailhawk, and the gross vehicle weight rating is 5,350 pounds.
