Tested: 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawkĭo you care a lot about fuel economy? Then don't invest in the Trackhawk.2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk: LL 2018.Even Crazier Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Spied.More on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk While its brake pedal felt firm and responsive during daily use, that distance is merely average among similar high-performance crossovers. Its Brembo brake calipers (six-piston front and four-piston rear) hauled the Trackhawk down from 70 mph in 168 feet. The electrically assisted steering system felt quick enough, but the thick-rimmed wheel didn't relay as much road information as we'd like. While the BMW X5 M and the GLE63 S have even higher cornering limits, the Trackhawk still has respectable, stable handling that can be exploited on twisty back roads and highway ramps-and it wouldn't be totally out of its element on a racetrack. Its instantaneous nature was saved for long straightaways that quickly felt short. The 'Hawk's throttle was so responsive that we didn't dare mat the pedal around town. The difference is negligible, and the Trackhawk's all-wheel-drive traction allowed the Jeep to virtually teleport to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Its 707 horsepower is 10 less than the regular Hellcat-powered Challenger and Charger, and the Jeep's more restrictive exhaust system decreases torque by 5 lb-ft (645 total). Its Hellcat engine has mind-blowing acceleration and a soundtrack that raises a metaphorical middle finger to local noise ordinances. The Trackhawk is the hottest thing ever to wear a Jeep badge. The only options we'd add are the Pirelli P Zero tires for max performance and the tow package for max towing capability. 'Merica! Needless to say, we'd swipe right for the Trackhawk. Sure, it's missing their refinement and reputation, but the max Jeep has a rep of its own and can go head to head with a $134,000 GLE63 S at the drag strip. Still, that's a bargain compared with the cost of its extra-expensive rivals. The Trackhawk's window sticker can even crest $105,000 if you check all the option boxes. While the ultimate Grand Cherokee is awesome, its startling starting price is about $19,000 more than the 475-hp SRT version. While the 702-hp Ram 1500 TRX is geared toward the off-road crowd, it's another member in the growing clan of Hellcat-powered models. However, it now features corporate competition from the new 710-hp Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. The Trackhawk enters 2021 without any changes whatsoever. What more could we ask for? Well, a 797-hp Redeye version would be pretty rad. If fact, it has a leather-covered cabin, all the latest technology, useful cargo space, and the ability to tow 7200 pounds. Despite its extroverted exterior and roaring exhaust note, the 2021 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk isn't all fire and brimstone. Now, it does cost roughly three times as much as a base Grand Cherokee Laredo but its prodigious performance makes its almost $90K price tag look like it's from the clearance section compared with the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S. While the Trackhawk can't keep up with most sports cars at the racetrack, it can outrun some of the best of them in a straight line.
With a 707-hp supercharged Hellcat V-8 under the hood, it's not only the most powerful Jeep ever built, it's one of the most powerful SUVs in the world. The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is an expletive-inducing thrill ride that would have gotten Clark Griswold and family to Wally World a lot sooner while still doubling Sparky's swears.
