Injected with an unmatched 707 horsepower courtesy of an awe-inspiring supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine, the most awarded SUV ever and the most capable full-size SUV on the planet has been transformed into the most powerful and quickest SUV ever - the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.

The new benchmark engine combines with an upgraded high-torque capacity TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, world-class on-road driving dynamics and new Brembo brakes - the largest standard front brakes ever offered on a Jeep vehicle - to deliver a new level of performance: 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds), quarter mile (400 metres) in 11.6 seconds at 116 mph (187 km/h), top speed of 180 mph (289 km/h), 60-0 mph braking distance in 114 feet (100-0 km/h in 37 metres) and .88 g capability on the skid pad. It's also capable of towing 2,949 kgs.

Performance is bolstered by various upgraded driveline components engineered to handle the additional torque output from the supercharged engine. The standard TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission delivers improved shift response, quality and consistent performance and drivability. The transmission software takes into account variables such as engine torque gradients, kick-down events, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, grade changes, friction detection and downshift detection to determine the appropriate shift map.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is equipped with the Jeep Quadra-Trac on-demand four-wheel-drive system, which includes an electronic limited-slip rear differential and new single-speed active transfer case that uses forged steel chain sprockets and wider chain for added strength and durability.

The Trackhawk's Selec-Track system uses performance-tuned software to pre-configure and distinguish five dynamic modes, including:  Auto, Sport, Track, Snow and Tow, enabling drivers to choose a vehicle setting that ideally meets their requirements and ambient conditions. The drive modes separately control the four-wheel-drive system, transmission, paddle shifters, suspension and electric power steering. Standard Launch Control optimises performance by coordinating the engine, transmission, driveline and suspension for a textbook launch and consistent straight-line acceleration.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk rides one inch (25.4 mm) lower than non-SRT Grand Cherokee models and is further set apart with body-coloured wheel flares, side sill cladding and a sculpted hood with dual heat extractors.

The signature seven-slot upper front grille is flanked by adaptive, bi-xenon headlamps and surrounded by an LED character lamp treatment. The headlamps feature a unique Gloss Black background to accent their jewel-like appearance, and fog lights are absent from the front fascia to optimise airflow to cooling modules and air induction without compromising the vehicle's balance.

From behind, Trackhawk features a unique Gloss Black rear valence and 4-inch (101.6 mm) Black Chrome quad exhaust tips. The new quad exhaust system design provides an exhilarating and unmistakable note during maximum acceleration.

Available in nine exterior colours: Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Diamond Black, Ivory Tri-coat, Bright White, Velvet Red, Rhino (exclusive), Redline 2 (exclusive) and True Blue, the driver-focused interior features premium soft-touch materials, unique Light Black Chrome finishes and carbon fibre spears, and a 7-inch (177.8 mm) driver information display (DID) instrument cluster, which features the tachometer in the middle. The 320 km/h speedometer is on the left side of the cluster. The instrument panel centre stack with new 8.4-inch (213.36 mm) Uconnect^TM touchscreen features Trackhawk-exclusive Performance Pages that showcase an array of performance timers and gauge readouts.

The three-spoke steering wheel with a flat bottom features a bevy of comfort, convenience and connectivity controls and ergonomically efficient paddle shifters. Nappa leather and suede seats with embroidered "Trackhawk" logo are standard, while a fully wrapped Signature Leather Interior Package with "Trackhawk" embossed on the seats, optional in black and Trackhawk-exclusive black and Dark Ruby Red is available. Seats are also heated (front and rear) and ventilated (front). Dark Ruby Red seatbelts and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof are also available options.

Additional premium interior features include: standard Active Noise Cancellation; premium headliner; leather stitched instrument panel, doors, centre console and armrest; Berber floormats with Trackhawk badge and available dual-screen rear-seat entertainment centre with Blu-ray. There is a choice of two audio systems, including an 825-watt Harman Kardon high-performance audio system with 19 speakers and two subwoofers.

Trackhawk is equipped with more than 65 safety and security features, including Trailer Hitch Camera View at Speed; Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop; Advanced Brake Assist; Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection; Full-speed Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation; Front and Rear Park Assist plus Lane Departure Warning-Plus. It also features standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (subject to market availability) through the latest Uconnect 4 system, with easy-to-use features, pinch-to-zoom display, enhanced processing power, faster startup times and touchscreens that display high-resolution graphics.
