Until recently, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT was the most powerful Jeep on the market, but now that title goes to the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, which is equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque.
But the engine isn’t the only thing that makes the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk a beast. In addition to its powerful engine, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is also equipped with extra performance and convenience equipment that make it an excellent vehicle whether driving on the track, in the mud or in the city. Here’s a closer look at all of the things that make the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk fast, powerful and luxurious.
The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is equipped with supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired to a TorqueFlite automatic 8-speed transmission that helps the SUV achieve a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds.
To help the Grand Cherokee perform in a variety of road conditions, the vehicle has a five drive-mode Selec Terrain system and a Bilstein adaptive damping suspension. Finally, for extra power and control, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk comes standard with the Jeep Quadra-Trac on-demand four-wheel-drive system.
The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is as luxurious as it is fast. The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is equipped with an 8.4-inch touchscreen and the most up-to-date version of Uconnect 8.4, which is the Jeep brand’s built-in infotainment system. In addition to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Uconnect 8.4 system also features Performance Pages, which provides the driver with gauge data as well as performance timers.
Vehicles with an exceptional amount of horsepower, need an exceptional braking system, and the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk has that. To slow or bring the vehicle to a full stop as fast as possible, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is fitted with a high-performance Brembo braking system, which includes 15.75-inch two-piece vented rotors in the front and 13.78-inch vented rotors in the rear.
To enhance the Grand Cherokee’s performance, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is fitted with a Gloss Black rear valence and four four-inch exhausts. To help the engine stay cool, the vehicle’s fog lights have been removed to optimize airflow to the engine’s cooling modules and its hood is equipped with dual heat extractors. The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk has also been lowered by one-inch, which helps to improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics.
The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk has a starting MSRP of $85,900. As one of South Florida’s top Jeep dealers, Kendall Jeep always has the newest Jeep models.
