Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
Engine: 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8
Torque: 875 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~3.5 s

The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is not a high-performance SUV by coincidence — it’s a deliberate engineering statement built to shock and overwhelm. With a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 under the hood, lifted directly from the Dodge Hellcat program, it produces 707 horsepower and 875 Nm of torque. But it doesn’t just accelerate fast — it launches like a missile. Zero to 100 km/h takes just 3.5 seconds, and the all-wheel-drive system is tuned to bite hard from a dig, making it one of the quickest-accelerating SUVs ever made.

Yet what makes the Trackhawk more than a gimmick is how it handles its own weight. With adaptive Bilstein dampers, recalibrated suspension geometry, Brembo six-piston brakes, and stiffened bushings, it feels surprisingly composed — even confident — when pushed through corners. The steering is heavy but responsive, and despite its 2.4-ton curb weight, the body control at speed is remarkably disciplined. The exhaust note is thunderous, unfiltered, and mechanical — reminding you with every wide-open throttle pull that this is still a Hellcat, dressed for utility.

The Trackhawk isn’t pretending to be a sports car. It doesn’t chase balance or efficiency. It exists to deliver raw, unapologetic power and convert it into physical velocity, with as little delay as possible. It doesn’t care about fuel economy or range — it cares about dominance. In a world of hybridized performance crossovers and muted EVs, the Trackhawk roars as one of the last true combustion-powered lunatics. And it’s glorious for it.

Body Styles

A mid-size five-passenger SUV with unibody construction, offering a refined balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability. The WK2 Grand Cherokee maintained Jeep’s signature rugged appearance with a modernized seven-slot grille, bold shoulder lines, high ground clearance, and available luxury or performance-oriented enhancements depending on trim level. The design evolved subtly through facelifts in 2014 and minor updates thereafter, keeping it visually competitive through its decade-long production run.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The Grand Cherokee name combines Jeep’s heritage with upscale ambition. “Cherokee” references Jeep’s rugged utility lineage, while “Grand” indicates a larger, more premium offering. The WK2 generation launched in 2010 as a 2011 model, introducing an independent rear suspension, available air ride, upscale trims (Summit), and performance options (SRT). It was a landmark generation that significantly elevated Jeep's reputation in the luxury SUV segment.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

“Grand Cherokee” is one of the most globally recognizable SUV names. The combination of English words “Grand” and “Cherokee” communicates size, comfort, and toughness — easily understood across multiple languages and markets. “SRT” (Street & Racing Technology) signifies a performance division within Chrysler, now Dodge. This branding carried prestige, especially in North America and the Middle East, where performance SUVs had cult status.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

Exterior colors included Bright White, Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Velvet Red, and Ivory Tri-Coat, with Deep Cherry Red and Rhino Gray added in mid-cycle refreshes. Summit and SRT models received exclusive hues such as Redline Pearl and Diamond Black Crystal. Blacked-out trims and two-tone packages were available in Trailhawk and High Altitude editions.

Interior options ranged from cloth (Laredo) to premium Nappa or Laguna leather (Summit, Overland, SRT). Color themes included Morocco Black, Light Frost Beige, and Indigo/Ski Grey. Summit models offered open-pore wood, suede headliners, and stitched dash panels. Rear entertainment, panoramic sunroof, and real wood trim were common in top trims.

Wheels ranged from 17" silver alloys (Laredo) to 20" polished aluminum (Summit, Overland). SRT models featured staggered 20" lightweight forged wheels with Brembo brakes behind them. Trailhawk models used all-terrain tires and steel skid plates for off-road readiness.

  • Rear DVD Entertainment System with Dual Screens: ~$1,995
  • Advanced Tech Group (adaptive cruise, lane keep): ~$1,495
  • 20” High Polish Aluminum Wheels (Summit): ~$1,000

  • SRT Performance Hood and Appearance Package: ~$1,300
  • Premium Laguna Leather Package (SRT/Summit): ~$2,000

vs Competitors

The WK2 Grand Cherokee stood out in its class for combining true off-road capability (with low-range transfer cases and air suspension) with luxury and tech features rivaling German SUVs. It competed with the Ford Explorer, Toyota 4Runner, Lexus RX/GX, and even BMW X5 in its upper trims. While not as dynamically sharp as German rivals, it beat them in value, towing (up to 7,200 lbs with V8), and terrain capability. The SRT variant offered performance previously unseen in this segment under $70k, while the Summit trim became a favorite for buyers seeking near-luxury experience without premium-brand pricing.

Fun Fact

The WK2 Grand Cherokee was one of the first SUVs to offer a factory-integrated air suspension and terrain management system in this segment, borrowing concepts from Range Rover — at a fraction of the price. The SRT version became a cult favorite among tuners and street racers, capable of sub-4 second 0–60 mph times with mild mods. The platform was so successful and durable that Jeep continued production until mid-2022, well after the launch of the WL generation — a rare case of dual-generation overlap.
