2027 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4: the hybrid SUV you never plug in, built for our winters


The Cherokee is back, and it has almost nothing in common with the one you remember. This 2027 Laredo 4x4, finished in Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat, brings together a self-charging hybrid powertrain, standard four-wheel drive and a cabin that is far more generous than the previous generation. No charging station, no cable, no planning: you fill the tank the way you always have and the electric side takes care of the rest. For a family in the Beauce or Bellechasse area that piles on the kilometres and wants a smaller fuel bill without giving up real Jeep capability, the case makes itself. It is one of the models that draws the most questions in our Ste-Marie and St-Malachie showrooms.


A hybrid powertrain that works for you

Under the hood, a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder pairs with the electric side of the system to deliver 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. The raw number does not tell the whole story. What matters day to day is how that torque arrives: instantly, with no hesitation, right off the line. The Cherokee pulls away from an intersection with confidence, merges onto the highway without strain and passes decisively on a rural road.

The electric variable transmission delivers power smoothly, without a gearbox hunting for the right ratio. In town, the vehicle often runs silently on its electric portion, and regenerative braking puts energy back into the battery every time you lift off the throttle. It is a hybrid that recharges itself as you drive.

The result comes down to two numbers: a combined rating of 6.3 L/100 km and up to 800 kilometres of range per tank. On a round trip to Quebec City five days a week, that difference adds up to tens of dollars a month.


Jeep 4x4 where it really counts, from November to April

Four-wheel drive is not an option box on this Cherokee, it is standard. The Jeep Active Drive system splits torque between the front and rear axles fully automatically. When grip is good, a rear axle disconnect lets the vehicle run in front-wheel drive to save fuel, then brings the rear wheels back the moment conditions call for it.

The Selec-Terrain system adds four drive modes: Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand or Mud. Snow mode softens throttle response and manages traction more gently, exactly what you want on a snow-covered hill or an unplowed driveway on a storm morning. With 8 inches of ground clearance, or 20.3 centimetres, the Cherokee clears the ridge the plow leaves at the end of your driveway without drama.

Add the remote start, heated front seats and heated steering wheel that come standard on the Laredo, and January mornings become a lot less unpleasant.


A trailer hitch already installed and ready to work

This unit was built with the factory trailer tow package. Properly equipped, the 2027 Cherokee tows up to 1,587 kilograms, or 3,500 pounds.

That is not truck capacity, and it is not meant to be. It is the capacity that handles real life: the utility trailer, the fishing boat, the small weekend trailer, the sleds in February, the soil and branches in spring. Plenty of compact SUV buyers only discover after the fact that they cannot tow anything at all. Here, that question is settled up front.


A dark, confident presence

The Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat finish, applied as a monotone treatment, gives the bodywork a depth that plays up the Cherokee's strong shoulders and upright stance. The seven-slot grille remains the Jeep signature, but it sits inside a more horizontal, more modern face.

The 18-inch aluminum wheels fill the arches nicely without hurting ride comfort, and the LED fog lamps add a touch that is as practical as it is good-looking. At 477.8 centimetres long, the Cherokee stays easy to park downtown while still holding real presence in a driveway.


Inside, space was the real project

This is the change longtime Cherokee owners notice first. Cargo room measures 951 litres behind the second row and climbs to 1,934 litres with the seatbacks folded. That means hockey bags, spring break luggage or camping gear without playing Tetris every single time.

The rear bench offers 139.9 centimetres of hip room, which changes everything when three people have to sit back there for a two-hour drive. The embossed cloth seats and Global Black interior on this unit give a clean, understated look that lives comfortably with kids or a dog.

The power-adjustable driver seat, dual-zone climate control, passive entry, rain-sensing wipers and second-row charging ports are all part of the package, and those are exactly the details you notice every day.


Technology that stays easy to use

The 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen anchors the dash and responds with the fluidity of a recent tablet. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly: you get in, your phone links on its own, and your music and navigation appear on screen.

Ahead of the driver, the 10.25-inch digital cluster can be configured around what you actually want to see, whether that is navigation, the hybrid energy flow or driving information. Climate controls stay within reach without digging through a menu.

The Cherokee also comes with Connect ONE connected services, including ten years of over-the-air updates. The vehicle can improve itself in your driveway overnight, with no trip to the service department.


Safety, with no boxes to tick

The Cherokee arrives with a standard suite that many competitors still charge extra for. Automatic emergency braking recognizes pedestrians and cyclists, Intersection Collision Assist watches left turns across oncoming traffic, and Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection keeps an eye on lane changes and backing out of parking spots.

Active Driving Assist, a Level 2 driver-assistance system, combines adaptive cruise control with stop and go and lane management. On Highway 73 on a Friday afternoon, that genuinely cuts fatigue. Drowsy Driver Detection and rear park assist with automatic emergency braking round out the list. The high-voltage battery, for its part, is covered by an 8-year or 160,000-kilometre warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have to plug in the 2027 Jeep Cherokee Laredo?

Never. It is a self-charging hybrid: the gasoline engine and regenerative braking recharge the battery while you drive. You fill up at your usual station, with no home charger and no change in habits. That is what makes this model so appealing to buyers who want hybrid economy without the logistics of a plug-in vehicle.

Is a 1.6-litre engine really enough for an SUV this size?

Yes, because the number to look at is combined output, not displacement. The system produces 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, and the electric side delivers its torque instantly. In practice the Cherokee launches strongly, climbs hills without effort and passes without hesitation, feeling closer to a larger engine than to a conventional small four-cylinder.

What fuel consumption can you realistically expect?

The combined rating is 6.3 L/100 km, with published range of up to 800 kilometres per tank. Hybrids of this type are especially efficient in town and on stop-and-go routes, where the electric motor takes over. On long stretches of steady highway driving the advantage narrows, but the average stays very strong for a four-wheel-drive SUV.

How does it behave in a Quebec winter?

This is one of its strengths. Four-wheel drive is standard, the Jeep Active Drive system works automatically with no input from the driver, and Snow mode in the Selec-Terrain system softens response to limit wheel spin. The 8 inches of ground clearance help in accumulated snow and poorly cleared driveways. Remote start, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel complete the picture.

How much can this Cherokee tow?

Properly equipped it tows up to 1,587 kilograms, or 3,500 pounds, and this unit was built with the factory trailer tow package. That covers a utility trailer, a fishing boat, snowmobiles or a small travel trailer. Always work from the loaded weight of the trailer rather than its dry weight.

Is there enough room for a family?

Cargo room is 951 litres behind the second row and up to 1,934 litres with the rear seatbacks folded. The 139.9 centimetres of rear hip room lets three passengers travel without crowding each other, which is not a given in this segment.

What technology is included on the Laredo?

The 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, the 10.25-inch digital cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, passive entry, and Connect ONE connected services with ten years of over-the-air updates. The Laredo adds a power-adjustable driver seat, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start and LED fog lamps.

Is the hybrid battery covered?

Yes. The high-voltage battery carries an 8-year or 160,000-kilometre warranty. Routine maintenance stays comparable to a conventional gasoline vehicle, with nothing specific required for the electric portion. It is one of the points that reassures buyers still weighing a hybrid against a traditional engine.

Why buy at Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler rather than somewhere else?

Our Ste-Marie and St-Malachie locations spare you long drives for service.
