2027 JEEP CHEROKEE • LUCAS CDJR
Compare six trims by the features you will use and the difference in starting price.

The 2027 Jeep Cherokee offers six trims for South Jersey shoppers: Cherokee, Laredo, Limited, Limited Altitude, Trailhawk and Overland. Starting MSRP runs from $35,130 to $43,130 before destination, with choices centered on daily comfort, black exterior detailing, off-road equipment or a premium cabin.
Lucas Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram has the Cherokee lineup in stock and ready to buy. For a shopper weighing equipment rather than just a badge, Limited is a useful comfort reference point: leatherette seats, a heated wheel and a power liftgate belong to its standard equipment. The Cherokee research hub brings together the other shopping questions.

The Cherokee starts at $35,130 MSRP before destination. Its standard equipment includes 17-inch machined painted aluminum wheels, LED headlamps and taillamps, roof rails, cloth seats and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The 1.6L Turbo Hybrid and Active Drive I four-wheel-drive system are part of this configuration, making it a complete hybrid 4×4 starting point rather than an engine upgrade you have to add.
A 12.3-inch center touchscreen and 10.25-inch digital cluster supply the main cabin displays. The rear camera, forward-collision warning with active braking and Active Driving Assist are included. For a shopper who values the shared powertrain and a straightforward cabin, the core Cherokee keeps the choice focused. Check accessory and installed-equipment details on the individual vehicle; the trim’s standard list is the baseline for comparing any extras.
Laredo starts at $38,130 MSRP before destination and keeps the 1.6L Turbo Hybrid with Active Drive I. It adds 18-inch wheels, LED fog lamps, heated front seats and remote vehicle start. The driver’s seat has eight-way power adjustment with two-way lumbar adjustment, and two charge-only USB ports serve the second row.
This is the choice for someone who wants everyday seat comfort and remote start together. Sit in the driver’s seat long enough to adjust the lumbar support, steering position and mirrors, then test the controls you will use without looking away from the road. A Trailer Tow Group is available on Laredo; confirm that package on the vehicle if towing is part of the purchase. Choosing Laredo buys a defined set of conveniences around the same hybrid system.
Limited starts at $40,130 MSRP before destination. The 1.6L Turbo Hybrid and Active Drive I remain its powertrain and drivetrain. Capri leatherette seats, a heated steering wheel, a power front-passenger seat, a power liftgate with adjustable height, a garage-door opener and a 115-volt outlet distinguish this comfort-focused trim. Standard wheels are 18 inches.
Limited also lets you tailor the cabin and exterior with an available dual-pane panoramic sunroof, Tech Group and 20-inch machined painted aluminum wheels. Those are available features, so compare the actual build rather than treating every Limited as identical. The power liftgate is useful when you regularly load the cargo area, while the power passenger seat matters if more than one adult uses the front row. Limited fits a buyer choosing comfort equipment that will be used repeatedly.
Limited Altitude starts at $40,725 MSRP before destination. It combines the Limited equipment set with a gloss black roof, grille, beltline molding and badges, plus 18-inch gloss black painted aluminum wheels. It uses the same 1.6L Turbo Hybrid and Active Drive I system as Limited. The $595 starting-price difference buys an appearance direction rather than a different powertrain.
Put a Limited and Limited Altitude beside one another to compare the contrast between body color and black trim. Inside, the Limited comfort features remain the reason to choose this part of the lineup: leatherette seats, heated steering wheel and power liftgate. Review the installed options on each vehicle before deciding, since the appearance package and optional cabin equipment answer separate questions. Limited Altitude suits a shopper who has already identified the Limited equipment as the right fit and prefers a darker exterior treatment.
Trailhawk starts at $42,630 MSRP before destination and pairs the 1.6L Turbo Hybrid with Active Drive II. Its two-speed power transfer unit, electronic rear locker and Lock Mode support its off-road purpose. Off-road suspension with a one-inch lift, skid plates, red front and rear tow hooks and 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires are central to this configuration.
Trailhawk also makes room for comfort after a day outdoors. Both front occupants get seat heating, the driver gets a heated wheel, and memory settings help restore a familiar seating and mirror position. The liftgate can be activated by foot. Choosing options is a separate part of the purchase: Sun and Sound brings the panoramic roof and Alpine system together, while trailering equipment serves a trailer setup. Advanced Pro Tech adds ventilation for the front seats, heat for the rear seats, camera washers and a surround-view camera. Ask to see those functions demonstrated on the specific Trailhawk rather than selecting it solely by its rugged appearance. This combination suits a driver who wants dedicated trail hardware and a comfortable cabin for the drive home. Its own economy estimate belongs in the comparison alongside those added capabilities.
Overland starts at $43,130 MSRP before destination. Its 1.6L Turbo Hybrid works with Active Drive I, while standard cabin equipment includes a dual-pane panoramic sunroof and Alpine premium audio. Twenty-inch wheels, memory mirrors, a hands-free power liftgate with adjustable height and front and rear park assist round out its premium-comfort emphasis.
An Advanced Pro Tech Group and gloss black painted roof are available on Overland. The standard sunroof makes this a useful vehicle to sit in when headroom is part of your fit check, and the Alpine system gives you a reason to bring your own music to the test drive. Overland’s price position does not make it a substitute for Trailhawk’s off-road hardware. It serves the shopper who wants the roof, audio and convenience equipment together in an Active Drive I Cherokee.
Each trim has five seats and the same hybrid engine; the important differences are drivetrain hardware and included conveniences.
| Trim | 4×4 system | Wheels | Standard feature to compare | Available equipment to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherokee | Active Drive I | 17-inch | Cloth seats and rain-sensing wipers | Individual vehicle accessories |
| Laredo | Active Drive I | 18-inch | Heated front seats and remote start | Trailer Tow Group |
| Limited | Active Drive I | 18-inch | Leatherette seats and power liftgate | Panoramic roof, Tech Group, 20-inch wheels |
| Limited Altitude | Active Drive I | 18-inch gloss black | Limited equipment plus black exterior details | Individual installed options |
| Trailhawk | Active Drive II | 17-inch all-terrain | Skid plates, tow hooks and rear locker | Sun and Sound, trailering, Advanced Pro Tech |
| Overland | Active Drive I | 20-inch | Panoramic roof, Alpine audio, hands-free liftgate | Advanced Pro Tech, black roof |
Every trim also carries the 12.3-inch center touchscreen and 10.25-inch cluster. For cargo measurements, towing configuration and wheel-and-tire sizes, see the Cherokee specification tables.

The $2,000 starting-MSRP difference moves from Laredo’s heated front seats, remote start and power driver seat into Limited’s leatherette upholstery, heated steering wheel, power passenger seat and power liftgate. That choice is easy to test in person: adjust both front seats, feel the upholstery and operate the liftgate. Limited also offers roof and wheel options that need to be checked separately. Compare the complete vehicles when one has optional equipment, because the starting-price difference describes the trims before those additions.
The starting-MSRP difference is $595 before destination. Limited Altitude adds the gloss black exterior treatment to Limited equipment, including the roof and black-painted wheels. That makes this a visual preference with a clear comfort baseline. Compare the paint-and-trim combination in daylight, then check that each vehicle has the cabin options you want. The appearance change does not change the hybrid system or Active Drive I drivetrain.
Overland’s starting MSRP is $500 above Trailhawk’s before destination. Trailhawk concentrates its equipment on Active Drive II, low-range hardware, underbody protection and all-terrain tires. Overland concentrates on a standard panoramic roof, Alpine audio and convenience equipment around Active Drive I. A Trailhawk with Sun and Sound combines its off-road equipment with the roof and audio package, so compare the full option list when those features matter together. A trip into the Pine Barrens or toward Wharton State Forest is a reason to think about the surface and authorized route, not a reason to assume every outing calls for the same drivetrain.
Limited provides a useful comfort benchmark because its standard heated wheel, leatherette seats and power liftgate form a clear equipment package. The right step from there depends on whether you want appearance, trail hardware or the Overland cabin. Starting-price differences below exclude destination and options.
| Move | Starting MSRP difference | What the choice adds |
|---|---|---|
| Cherokee to Laredo | $3,000 | Seat heating, remote start, power driver adjustment |
| Laredo to Limited | $2,000 | Leatherette, heated steering wheel, power passenger seat and liftgate |
| Limited to Limited Altitude | $595 | Black exterior treatments and gloss black wheels |
| Limited Altitude to Overland | $2,405 | Standard panoramic roof, Alpine audio and premium conveniences |
| Trailhawk to Overland | $500 | A different purpose: cabin equipment with Active Drive I instead of dedicated trail hardware |
MSRP excludes destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees, and optional equipment. Dealer sets final price.
| What matters most | Trim to compare | Test it this way |
|---|---|---|
| Shared hybrid essentials | Cherokee | Set up the displays and cloth-seat driving position. |
| Comfort on cold mornings | Laredo | Try heated seats and power driver adjustments. |
| Loading and front-passenger comfort | Limited | Check liftgate height and passenger-seat adjustment. |
| A black-accented exterior | Limited Altitude | Compare the finish beside a Limited. |
| Low-range off-road equipment | Trailhawk | Confirm drivetrain, tires and chosen packages. |
| Sunroof and premium sound together | Overland | Check roof-equipped headroom and play familiar audio. |

No. Cherokee, Laredo, Limited, Limited Altitude, Trailhawk and Overland all use the 1.6L I4 Turbo Hybrid. The trim choice changes comfort, appearance and drivetrain equipment around that shared powertrain.
Compared with the core Cherokee, Laredo adds heated front seats, remote start, power driver-seat adjustment, LED fog lamps and 18-inch wheels. Its starting MSRP is $3,000 higher before destination and options.
The dual-pane panoramic sunroof is available on Limited. Overland includes it as standard equipment, while Trailhawk offers it through Sun and Sound. Confirm the roof on the exact vehicle you are comparing.
Limited Altitude combines Limited equipment with gloss black exterior details and 18-inch gloss black wheels. Its starting MSRP is $595 above Limited before destination. The difference is appearance rather than hybrid output.
Overland includes Alpine premium audio. Trailhawk offers Alpine audio with the dual-pane sunroof in the available Sun and Sound package. Check the fitted package when comparing those two configurations.
Confirm Active Drive II, the all-terrain tires, skid plates and tow hooks, then compare optional equipment such as trailering or Sun and Sound. Trailhawk has its own drivetrain and economy specification rather than simply an exterior appearance package.
No. They are starting MSRP figures before destination and optional equipment. Taxes, title, license and dealer fees also affect the purchase total. Ask for a written proposal for the exact vehicle and transaction.
Yes. Contact Lucas with the features and trims you want to compare so we can coordinate the vehicles. Bringing your phone and normal cargo makes the comparison more useful than choosing by trim name alone.
