2027 Jeep Lineup Updates and ChangesMotorTrendJeep's lineup is in the middle of a complicated transition, and not every product is moving in the same direction. The brand remains focused on gas engines but is also experimenting with different forms of electrification as it tries to balance emissions concerns, customer demand, and performance optimization.Some Jeeps are shifting toward hybrid powertrains, others are being repositioned around battery-only or range-extended electric setups, and a few appear to be retreating from earlier EV-only plans.The updates and changes in Jeep's range for 2027 show a brand trying to preserve its traditional identity while figuring out which powertrain technologies its buyers will actually accept. Meanwhile, exciting and inexpensive new Jeep models are in the works. It's all a bit messy, and some details remain unclear, but here's what you can expect from Jeep's 2027 vehicle lineup.1) 2027 Jeep CompassPhoto credit: MotorTrend - MotorTrendA new Jeep Compass is coming, but not just yet. The next-generation model debuted way back in 2025, built on a new platform and wearing chiseled bodywork. That's only been confirmed for Europe, however; so far Jeep has not announced the new Compass for the United States market.AdvertisementAdvertisementIt's likely to arrive in North America eventually, possibly for model year 2027 or 2028. The familiar prior-generation Compass was still on sale as of 2026.Read Our Experts' Full Jeep Compass Review2) 2027 Jeep CherokeePhoto credit: MotorTrend - MotorTrendJeep introduced the current KM generation of Cherokee for 2026, with retro-inspired design, big digital displays, and a standard hybrid engine. For 2027, the Cherokee is expected to carry over mostly unchanged. However, a Trailhawk model is being introduced with rugged styling and off-road hardware upgrades.Read Our Experts' Full Jeep Cherokee Review3) 2027 Jeep Grand CherokeePhoto credit: Jeep - MotorTrendAfter this generation of Grand Cherokee was introduced for 2021, Jeep gave the SUV an update for 2026. Highlight changes included styling revisions, a bigger infotainment display, and available Hurricane turbocharged I-4 engine.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Overland trim was canceled, but it returns for 2027, now equipped with the Hurricane I-4. That engine is also featured in the reintroduced Trailhawk model, which has off-road hardware like all-terrain tires, underbody skidplates, and driving modes for different types of terrain.As Jeep reevaluates its electrification strategy, the Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid has been discontinued.Read Our Experts' Full Jeep Grand Cherokee Review4) 2027 Jeep Grand WagoneerPhoto credit: MotorTrend - MotorTrendJeep's biggest SUV got a big update for 2026. The Wagoneer was discontinued, leaving only the more premium Grand Wagoneer in the lineup. Styling changes like updated lighting and removed chrome trim gave the full-size three-row a sharper look.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe tune of its Hurricane I-6 engine became standard, as well, possibly to leave space for the forthcoming range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) powertrain, which will use a gas engine as a generator to provide energy to electric motors that drive the vehicle.Although Jeep said the REEV powertrain is coming to the Grand Wagoneer later in 2026, changing electrification plans at parent company Stellantis make that timing seem uncertain. Likewise, Jeep hasn't announced changes to the Grand Wagoneer for 2027, though it'll likely be much the same as it was last year.Read Our Experts' Full Jeep Grand Wagoneer Review5) 2027 Jeep Wagoneer SPhoto credit: MotorTrend - MotorTrendJeep's first EV, the Wagoneer S, debuted for 2024, but weak demand for EVs and unclear market positioning led the brand to put the model on hold for 2026. It is now expected to return for 2027 with a round of meaningful improvements, which could include a Tesla-style NACS charging port and faster charging capability.AdvertisementAdvertisementRead Our Experts' Full Jeep Wagoneer S Review6) 2027 Jeep ReconPhoto credit: MotorTrend - MotorTrendDid Jeep get ahead of itself with its EV plans? The Wagoneer S was introduced then quickly paused. Then the Recon all-electric off-roader debuted for 2026, but Jeep hasn't said much about it since then; pricing is announced, but when the Recon is actually going on sale remains unclear.Jeep is supposedly working on revising the Recon to offer it with an engine, instead of keeping it electric only. Expect the Jeep Recon situation to become clearer in 2027.Read Our Experts' Full Jeep Recon Review7) 2027 Jeep WranglerPhoto credit: MotorTrend - MotorTrendIn tribute to its military roots, Jeep adds the Sarge trim to the Wrangler lineup for 2027. Every Wrangler Sarge features 17-inch wheels painted in '41 Green olive drab, while the grille surround can be specified in either matching green or contrasting white.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhite star graphics reinforce the Army-inspired theme, and bronze tow hooks lend a more contemporary accent. Rock rails from the Rubicon model are also part of the package. Inside, the Sarge gets tan or green cloth upholstery with gold stitching. Dedication plaques near the cupholder and tailgate help the Wrangler Sarge feel more like a special edition.Read Our Experts' Full Jeep Wrangler Review8) 2027 Jeep GladiatorPhoto credit: MotorTrend - MotorTrendLike the Wrangler, the Gladiator pickup also becomes available in military-inspired Sarge trim for 2027. Green wheels, white decals, and bronze trim give the Gladiator Sarge an Army truck vibe.Although Jeep had announced that the Gladiator would become available with the Wrangler's 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain, those plans have been canceled.AdvertisementAdvertisementRead Our Experts' Full Jeep Gladiator Review9) 2027 Jeep LineupPhoto credit: William Walker - MotorTrend2027 Jeep Compass: TBD2027 Jeep Cherokee: Minor update2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Minor update2027 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: TBD2027 Jeep Wagoneer S: TBD2027 Jeep Recon: TBD2027 Jeep Wrangler: Unchanged2027 Jeep Gladiator: Unchanged
