# Jeep Grand Cherokee development and updates > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/jeep-grand-cherokee-development-and-updates > Updated: 2026-08-12T17:55:38.000Z. Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Jeep is developing new iterations of the Grand Cherokee, utilizing modified platforms to accommodate both two-row and three-row configurations. Future developments include the potential return of the high-performance Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk, likely featuring a revised supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 engine as part of a broader Stellantis strategy to revive high-horsepower SRT models. For the 2027 model year, Jeep is expanding the lineup with the introduction of the Upland trim. This more affordable option is designed for a rugged aesthetic, featuring 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, gray tow hooks, and a front fascia similar to the Trailhawk. While the Upland lacks the Trailhawk’s upgraded suspension and four-wheel-drive system, it includes a standard 324-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine. The two-row version of the Upland is expected to start at approximately $49,990. The 2027 lineup also sees the return of the Trailhawk trim and technological upgrades, such as increasing the Laredo trim’s display from 8.4 inches to 10.1 inches. Engine options will continue to include the 3.6-liter V6 for certain models. Off-road capabilities remain a priority, with specific configurations offering nearly 29 centimeters of ground clearance and approximately 2,800 kg of towing capacity. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-12: Jeep introduces Upland trim for 2027 Grand Cherokee Jeep is introducing the Upland trim for the 2027 Grand Cherokee, offering a rugged aesthetic and all-terrain tires at a lower price point than the Trailhawk. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jeep-grand-cherokee-2027-to-debut-with-new-technology-and-trims ### 2026-08-09: Jeep plans new Grand Cherokee models and high-performance SRT Trackhawk return Jeep and parent company Stellantis are planning new Grand Cherokee models, including a potential return of the high-performance SRT Trackhawk featuring a supercharged V-8 engine. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jeep-plans-new-grand-cherokee-models-and-high-performance-srt-trackhawk-return --- Cite as: Jeep Grand Cherokee development and updates.
