What Jeep Is Discontinuing for 2027
A look at what is leaving Jeep's lineup, and what is staying, at Kunes Auto Group. We make it EASY!
Jeep is ending its plug-in hybrids for 2027. The Wrangler 4xe and the Grand Cherokee 4xe are gone, a planned Wrangler turbo-hybrid update was cancelled, and two Grand Wagoneer trims are retiring. Most of the lineup carries over, so the Jeep you know is still on sale. This page covers what is leaving, what is changing, and what carries over, so you can plan your next Jeep with Kunes Auto Group.
What Is Leaving the Lineup
Jeep discontinued the Wrangler 4xe, so every 2027 Wrangler runs on gas. A planned 2027 update that would have paired the 4xe system with a turbocharged four-cylinder was also cancelled. The Grand Cherokee and the Grand Cherokee L dropped their 4xe versions too, following Stellantis's January 2026 decision to phase out its plug-in hybrid programs in North America. On the Grand Wagoneer, Jeep retired the 85th Anniversary Edition and the Limited Reserve, and the standalone Wagoneer name was dropped for 2026, so the full-size three-row SUVs are now sold as Grand Wagoneers. The Wrangler's yearlong Twelve 4 Twelve series of limited editions ended with the Switchback in October, and the Compass lost its entry-level Sport trim for 2026. If one of these is on your list, ask us about remaining inventory before it sells out.
What's Changing This Year
The Grand Cherokee grows to ten trims, with the new Laredo Upland and the returning Trailhawk and Overland, and every Grand Cherokee now uses a gas engine (a 3.6L V6 on the Laredo and Laredo X, and the 2.0L Hurricane 4 turbo from the Laredo Altitude up). The Grand Wagoneer adds a new Overland trim and five new colors, the Gladiator adds the military-inspired Sarge special edition, and the Compass keeps its five trims with adaptive cruise control now standard on every one. Trims, equipment, and availability are still settling in places, so check with our team for the latest details on any model.
What Stays (and What's New)
Most of the Jeep lineup is not going anywhere. The Wrangler (gas only), Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Compass, Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L, Recon, and Wagoneer S all return for 2027, and the 6.4L HEMI V8 stays on two Wrangler 392 models. Service and parts support for every Jeep, including the models leaving the lineup, continues at Kunes Auto Group.
