The 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2-Row offers two engines: the proven 3.6L V6 with eTorque ESS, or the newer 2.0L Hurricane I4 Turbo. Which engine you get depends entirely on which trim you order — V6 is Laredo and Laredo X only, Hurricane Turbo is on Laredo Altitude, Limited, and Summit. Both engines pair with 8-speed automatics. Hurricane wins on highway fuel economy and towing torque; V6 wins on cold-weather durability history and simpler service. Here's the honest breakdown of the engine question.

Here's the honest breakdown.
