How Much Does the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Altitude 4x4 and Laredo X 4x4 Cost to Own?
The Laredo Altitude 4x4 carries a base MSRP of $46,960 and the Laredo X 4x4 starts at $44,225 — both before the $1,995 destination charge. Those two figures represent the focused scope of this guide, and they sit in a segment that also includes the 2027 Ford Explorer, 2027 Honda Pilot, 2027 Kia Telluride, and 2027 Toyota 4Runner. The table below lays out pricing across the four trims in the catalog so you can see exactly where the 4x4 variants land relative to their rear-wheel-drive counterparts.
| Feature | Laredo Altitude | Laredo Altitude 4x4 | Laredo X | Laredo X 4x4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base MSRP | $44,960 | $46,960 | $42,225 | $44,225 |
All trims share a destination charge of $1,995.
The $2,000 step from each rear-wheel-drive trim to its 4x4 counterpart buys you Jeep's Quadra-Trac® I full-time four-wheel-drive system — a meaningful upgrade for anyone navigating the gravel back roads and wooded terrain around Danville. The Laredo Altitude 4x4 costs $2,735 more than the Laredo X 4x4, and that premium reflects the switch from the 3.6L Pentastar V6 to the turbocharged 2L Hurricane Turbo 4 engine, which delivers noticeably more horsepower and torque (details in the powertrain section below).

​
Rugged Style That Complements Historic Streets in the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The 2027 Grand Cherokee wears its identity plainly: a bold seven-slot grille, complex-surface LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, and a roof spoiler that give the SUV a purposeful stance without veering into truck-like aggression. At 193.5 inches long, 77.5 inches wide, and 70.8 inches tall on a 116.7-inch wheelbase, the proportions are substantial yet clean — the kind of silhouette that looks at home parked along Danville's historic Main Street or backed up to a boat launch on the Susquehanna.
The Laredo Altitude 4x4 leans into a blacked-out aesthetic. Black trim surrounds the side windows, black roof rails cap the roofline, and the exterior package carries an Altitude-specific sport appearance that distinguishes it from the standard Laredo. Color choices include Bright White Clear Coat, High Gloss Black, Sting-Gray Clear Coat, Red Hot Pearl Coat, and Ghost — a range that covers understated working-family preferences through to bolder weekend-adventure expressions.
The Laredo X 4x4 takes a slightly different approach with chrome/bright trim around the side windows, giving it a more traditional premium SUV character. Both trims share painted front and rear bumpers, color-toned and power-adjustable door mirrors, and a rear lifting gate — details that read as polished rather than basic. A power sunroof is standard on both Laredo X configurations, adding a light-and-air element that rear-seat passengers appreciate on longer drives through the river valley.
If you are cross-shopping a pre-owned Grand Cherokee alongside the new model, our pre-owned vehicle inventory is worth a look for additional options and value.

Engineered for Bloomsburg's Rolling Hills and River Roads: Powertrain and Performance of the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Altitude 4x4 and Laredo X 4x4
Two distinct powertrains separate these trims, and the difference matters on the kind of terrain central Pennsylvania actually delivers.
| Feature | Laredo Altitude | Laredo Altitude 4x4 | Laredo X | Laredo X 4x4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 2L | 2L | 3.6L | 3.6L |
| Horsepower | 324 hp | 324 hp | 293 hp | 293 hp |
| Torque | 332 lb-ft | 332 lb-ft | 260 lb-ft | 260 lb-ft |
| Drivetrain | Rear-wheel drive | All-wheel drive | Rear-wheel drive | All-wheel drive |
All trims share: Transmission: TorqueFlite®
The Laredo Altitude 4x4 uses Jeep's Hurricane Turbo 4 — a turbocharged 2L four-cylinder that produces 324 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, with peak torque arriving at 3,000 rpm. That low-rpm torque delivery is exactly what you want when pulling a loaded boat trailer up a river-valley grade or merging confidently onto the highway after a weekend at the Susquehanna. The Laredo X 4x4 relies on the proven Pentastar 3.6L V6, rated at 293 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque — still a capable engine with a long track record of reliability, though it gives up 31 hp and 72 lb-ft to the Altitude's turbocharged four-cylinder.
Both engines route power through Jeep's eight-speed TorqueFlite® automatic transmission, which keeps the powerband in its productive range whether you are cruising at highway speeds or navigating the rolling hills between Bloomsburg and the river valley. The 4x4 variants add Quadra-Trac® I full-time four-wheel drive with automatic drive selection, meaning the system distributes torque between axles continuously without requiring driver input — a practical advantage on wet leaves, gravel roads, and early-morning frost.
Both 4x4 trims ride on an independent multi-link coil suspension at both ends, with four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, ABS, brake assist, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and hill-hold assist rounding out the chassis hardware. Ground clearance is 8.4 inches, with an approach angle of 20.5 degrees and a departure angle of 26.6 degrees — numbers that reflect genuine light off-road capability beyond the pavement.

Comfort and Space for Family Days at Riverside Park with the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Interior
Five seats, about 38 cu ft of cargo space behind the second row, and about 71 cu ft with the rear seats folded — those three numbers define what a family of four or five can realistically do with this SUV on a Saturday at Riverside Park or a Sunday morning fishing trip along the North Branch.
| Feature | Laredo Altitude | Laredo Altitude 4x4 | Laredo X | Laredo X 4x4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curb weight | 4,238 lbs | 4,365 lbs | 4,238 lbs | 4,365 lbs |
| Payload | 1,812 lbs | 1,685 lbs | 1,812 lbs | 1,685 lbs |
All trims share: Seating: 5 · Cargo: about 38 cu ft · Towing: 6,200 lbs
Inside, the cabin dimensions are genuinely generous. Front headroom measures 39.9 inches, rear headroom 39.4 inches, front legroom 41.3 inches, and rear legroom 38.2 inches. Shoulder room spans 59.2 inches up front and 58 inches in back — enough that three adults across the rear bench seat is a real option rather than a theoretical one. The cargo floor sits 32.4 inches off the ground, which makes loading heavier gear — a cooler, a tackle box, hiking packs — a straightforward task rather than a workout.
Seating configuration is 2+3, with the rear bench folding asymmetrically to mix cargo and passenger needs. The driver's seat is power-adjustable with four electrical adjustments including height, reach, recline, and tilt. Both front seats are heated, and both trims include illuminated vanity mirrors, front and rear reading lights, and an illuminated entry system. A wireless charging pad, two front USB charging ports, and two rear USB charging ports keep devices topped off throughout the day.
The Laredo Altitude 4x4 uses a synthetic leatherette and suede upholstery combination in Global Black Capri. The Laredo X 4x4 comes standard with cloth seating in Global Black or Global Black/Wicker Beige, with the optional Black Appearance Package or Luxury Tech Group adding synthetic leather and suede if you prefer the upgraded feel.
Two-zone automatic climate control is standard on both trims, with touch-screen climate controls and passenger-side secondary ventilation controls. A full floor console, overhead partial console, and front and rear cup holders round out the day-to-day practicality. When you are ready to move forward, you can submit a financing application online to get a head start before your visit.
​
Tech That Keeps You Connected Between Local Adventures in the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The infotainment story splits cleanly between the two trims. The Laredo Altitude 4x4 features a 12.3-inch center touchscreen — a noticeably larger display than the 10.1-inch screen standard in the Laredo X 4x4. Both screens support 3D navigation with voice guidance, live traffic information (3-month subscription included), and internet-connected map updates. The instrument cluster on both trims is a 10.25-inch reconfigurable TFT display with traffic sign recognition on the Altitude.
Smartphone integration is wireless on both trims for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with subscriptions that effectively run indefinitely. Bluetooth, an AUX jack, two front USB data connections, and Amazon Alexa voice assistant support are all standard. The six-speaker audio system handles everyday listening, and satellite radio is included with a 3-month trial subscription — upgradeable to a 3-year SiriusXM subscription as a standalone option.
Connectivity goes deeper than the touchscreen. Both trims include an embedded SIM card with an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot (3-month data trial included, with extended data packages available from 3 to 5 years). The Safety & Security Package telematics suite runs for 120 months — a full decade — and covers remote lock/unlock, remote vehicle start, speed alerts, geo-fencing, theft alerts, vehicle diagnostics, and a "find my car" function. Remote services also carry a 120-month subscription. Over-the-air software updates keep the system current without requiring a dealer visit.
The Keyless Enter 'n Go™ system handles proximity-based entry and push-button start. Driver modes are available and include engine mapping, steering calibration, and transmission mapping adjustments — useful when switching between a highway commute and a gravel road approach to a fishing spot. The Active Driving Assist System on the Altitude (branded as Adaptive Cruise Control Stop & Go on the Laredo X) manages stop-and-go traffic with full speed range capability, reducing fatigue on longer drives.
​
Safety Built to Protect You on Pennsylvania's Country Roads: Driver Assistance in the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Every 2027 Grand Cherokee — regardless of trim — ships with a comprehensive standard safety suite, and that consistency matters for families who rely on this vehicle daily.
The airbag count is eight, covering front driver and passenger, front side, front and rear side curtain, and driver and passenger knee positions. Front seatbelts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment; the rear center position uses a 3-point belt. Five head restraints (2 front, 3 rear) are height-adjustable. LATCH child-seat anchors are standard.
On the active safety side, Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus monitors traffic at speeds as low as 3 mph and can apply braking at low speed from both front and rear directions. Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection uses radar to flag vehicles in adjacent lanes, while Cross Path Detection watches for crossing traffic when reversing — a practical feature in crowded parking areas at community events or busy boat launches. The Active Lane Management System applies steering inputs to keep the vehicle centered in its lane, and the ParkSense Rear Park Assist w/Stop combines a rear camera with sensors and a guidance display to simplify tight maneuvering.
The Laredo Altitude 4x4 adds anti-collision junction crossing detection and traffic sign recognition to the standard suite — two features not present on the Laredo X 4x4. Both 4x4 trims include a trailer stability program, which monitors and corrects trailer sway — directly relevant for anyone towing a boat or utility trailer on winding river-valley roads. Electronic traction control, roll stability control, electronic stability control, and hill-hold assist are standard across both trims.
An emergency call system and accident data recorder are standard on all configurations. The Safety & Security Package telematics also provides breakdown assistance notification through the vehicle's embedded SIM connection.

Breaking Down the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Altitude 4x4 and Laredo X 4x4 Pricing
The $2,000 gap between the Laredo X 4x4 and the Laredo Altitude 4x4 is the most important number for shoppers comparing these two specific trims. Here is what that premium actually buys:
The Laredo Altitude 4x4 at $46,960 MSRP (plus $1,995 destination) delivers the Hurricane Turbo 4 engine with 324 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, black trim exterior appearance, synthetic leatherette/suede seating standard, the larger 12.3-inch center touchscreen, traffic sign recognition, anti-collision junction crossing detection, and an alloy spare wheel. The Altitude also carries the Altitude-specific exterior sport package as standard equipment rather than an add-on.
The Laredo X 4x4 at $44,225 MSRP (plus $1,995 destination) uses the Pentastar 3.6L V6 with 293 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, chrome window trim, a standard power sunroof, cloth seating (with leatherette/suede available via the optional Black Appearance Package or Luxury Tech Group), and the 10.1-inch touchscreen. The Laredo X also includes a rear occupant alert system — a feature families with young children will appreciate.
Both trims share the same Quadra-Trac® I 4x4 system, TorqueFlite® eight-speed transmission, 6,200-lb towing capacity, about 38 cu ft cargo space, 18-inch alloy wheels, six-speaker audio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full active safety suite.
Available packages for both 4x4 trims include the Trailer Tow Package (adds trailer towing preparation hardware) and the Mopar Finishing Package (dealer-installed front and rear mud flaps). The Laredo X 4x4 additionally offers the Black Appearance Package (black trim, leatherette/suede seats, 18-inch black alloy wheels) and the Luxury Tech Group (leatherette/suede seating, 20-inch alloy wheels on 50-series all-season tires).
​
Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners
Jeep's factory warranty coverage on the 2027 Grand Cherokee is straightforward and consistent across the Laredo Altitude 4x4 and Laredo X 4x4:
- Basic/Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty: 3 years / 36,000 miles
- Powertrain Warranty: 5 years / 60,000 miles
- Roadside Assistance: 5 years / 60,000 miles
- Paint Warranty: 3 years / 36,000 miles
- Anti-Corrosion Warranty: 3 years (unlimited mileage)
The powertrain coverage is particularly meaningful for working families and contractors who put consistent miles on a vehicle. The Hurricane Turbo 4 in the Laredo Altitude 4x4 and the Pentastar V6 in the Laredo X 4x4 are both covered for five full years, which aligns with the typical ownership cycle for most buyers in this price range.
The vehicle's Safety & Security Package telematics subscription runs for 120 months — 10 years — and includes remote diagnostics, which can alert you to maintenance needs before they become larger problems. Over-the-air software updates mean the infotainment and vehicle systems stay current without requiring a service appointment.
At Hawkins Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, our certified technicians are trained specifically on Jeep vehicles. Whether it is a routine oil change, a warranty repair, or a seasonal inspection before fishing season, we keep your schedule in mind and communicate clearly about what your vehicle needs. As one of our customers noted in a recent review, the service experience here goes above and beyond — and that commitment extends to every Grand Cherokee owner who comes through our doors.
A Myflexcare Service Plan is available as an optional add-on for both trims, providing a structured maintenance and service package for buyers who prefer predictable ownership costs.

Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee's Strengths
The Grand Cherokee's reputation is well-documented across the automotive press. Edmunds notes that "in the crowded midsize SUV class, the Jeep Grand Cherokee stands out with its rear-wheel-drive architecture and genuine off-road capability" — a distinction that holds equally true for the 4x4 variants reviewed here. Car and Driver observes that the Grand Cherokee "continues to blend refined road manners with authentic Jeep capability, making it one of the most versatile midsize SUVs on the market." Kelley Blue Book highlights that Jeep's suspension tuning "makes for a quiet and luxurious ride, even on the bumpy stuff."
At the brand level, Jeep earned the 2026 Car Design Award for Brand Design Language from Auto&Design magazine at Milan Design Week, with the jury specifically recognizing how Jeep has transformed signature cues like the seven-slot grille into "universal symbols of adventure and freedom." Brand Keys has also named Jeep America's Most Patriotic Brand for 25 consecutive years — a reflection of the brand's enduring connection with buyers who value independence and capability.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Q: What is the towing capacity of the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Altitude 4x4 and Laredo X 4x4?
Both the Laredo Altitude 4x4 and Laredo X 4x4 are rated to tow up to 6,200 lbs when properly equipped with the Trailer Tow Package. That capacity is sufficient for a mid-size boat, a loaded utility trailer, or a small camper — practical for weekend outings along the Susquehanna River or hauling equipment for a home project. The trailer stability program is standard on both 4x4 trims, actively managing sway on winding rural roads.
Q: What is the fuel economy difference between the Laredo Altitude 4x4 and Laredo X 4x4?
The Laredo Altitude 4x4 (Hurricane Turbo 4, 2L) is EPA-rated at 20 city / 25 hwy / 22 combined mpg. The Laredo X 4x4 (Pentastar V6, 3.6L) is rated at 19 city / 26 hwy / 22 combined mpg. The combined ratings are identical at 22 mpg, but the Altitude earns one more mpg in city driving while the Laredo X edges it by one mpg on the highway. Both trims use a 23-gallon fuel tank and run on regular 87-octane unleaded.
Q: Does the Laredo X 4x4 come with a sunroof standard?
Yes. A one-touch electric power sunroof with a sliding glass panel and sunshade is standard equipment on the Laredo X 4x4. On the Laredo Altitude 4x4, a power sunroof is available as a standalone option rather than standard equipment, so buyers who want it should confirm it is included on any specific vehicle before purchase.
Q: What is the difference in infotainment screens between the two trims?
The Laredo Altitude 4x4 comes with a 12.3-inch center touchscreen, while the Laredo X 4x4 has a 10.1-inch center touchscreen.
