The 707 Horsepower 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk: The Most Powerful SUV Yet


Powerful SUVs over 550 horsepower have been on the rise, but at a hefty price. The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk packs more power and outruns the competition. Reaching 707 horsepower from a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8, it comes at a much lower price tag. At a base price around $85,000, its a lot of horses for average city speed limits under 35 mph.

The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, for those who seek power and adrenaline from an SUV. Jeep borrowed the engine power from FCA’s performance division and added its own brand of technology. The Trackhawk has a launch control function that helps maintain a straight-line during acceleration by synchronizing the engine, transmission, drive-line, and suspension. The four-wheel drive system shifts power to the rear for more power, while keeping all four wheels on the road. The Trackhawk rides on 20 by 10-inch forged polished wheels with BSW all season tires.
