Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is 461bhp version of Jeep's famous off-roader, powered by a huge 6.4-litre V8.

Performance is impressive for a car this size, with 0-62mph taking just 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 158mph.

That puts the Jeep on a par with the £84,790 Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

The SRT goes on sale across Europe early next year.

Despite that kind of performance, fuel economy is better than you might expect thanks to a cylinder deactivation system that shuts down half the pistons under light engine loads.

Only one trim level is available and equipment will include sat-nav, a twin sunroof, adaptive cruise control and active dampers. Sports seats also feature, while on the outside, lowered suspension and LED daytime running lights mark out the SRT from lesser models in the range.

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Is My Life Partner

The Jeep name is still alive and doing well. The Jeep 4-door Wrangler got Chrysler Group pretty much through the recession. The name has long been synonymous with off-road capability and because of that we still see individuals that are purchasing them all over the world. Chrysler has had a lot of influence from Daimler and now Fiat but is continuing on with some great off-roaders. For 2013 Jeep we are seeing some new faces arrive as we see the 2013 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that will be based on the 2013 Durango as it will be able to offer a third row seating option. So what about the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee? The 2013 Grand Cherokee is getting some options and they look to be very good options. The standard 2013 Grand Cherokee is impressive enough as it is as it can deliver power and efficiency.

 

The 2013 Grand Cherokee is no light weight as the gross vehicle weight rating is around 6500Lbs. You would thing a 6-cylinder would prove futile in an attempt to power this beast but it does a great job with nearly 300 Horsepower and still offers a 5000 Lb towing capacity and 23 Mpg’s and a great 4×4 system for under 30K. It looks as though the new 8-speed automatic is going to be making its way through possibly the entire Grand Cherokee lineup, even the SRT8. If that is the case then this 8-speed must be a one tough transmission as Jeep continues their 100k powertrain warranty.

Next you have the V8 that still delivers 20 Mpg’s and a 7500 towing capacity as well as some more power to throw around if need be. Then there is the 2013 Grand Cherokee SRT8 that wants to eat every sports car on the street while giving you luxurious amenities and comfort. This beast packs a 6.4 Liter with 470 Hp and an All-Wheel-Drive system making the launch a neck breaker. Or there is the 2013 HPE800 Twin Turbo Jeep by Hennessey that offers 800 Hp and a 0-60 time in 3.1 Seconds if the SRT8 bores you.
