Price: from 5,725,000 rub.

A sports version of the regular model, which is very popular among young people and slightly older people, as everyone wants to drive a tall car quickly. Jeep Grand Cherokee The 2017-2018 SRT8 is the model that gives these people this opportunity.

The restyled version, which is still on sale, went on sale in 2013, although the manufacturer presented this model in 2011 at the New York Auto Show. A lot has changed, let's start with the design.

Appearance

Aggressive appearance is one of the main advantages of this model; it looks brutal, which attracts buyers. The muzzle received a raised hood and a large radiator grille designed in the corporate style. It also uses narrow LED optics, which are often compared to Rolls-Royce. The massive bumper houses air intakes, LED daytime running lights and fog lights. There is also a visible camera in the middle of the bumper.

From the side, brutality remains at the same level; we can observe large swollen wheel arches and deep stamping in the lower part of the body. From here you can see how powerful the braking system is, although the brakes seem small at the rear. There are decorative roof rails on the roof.

The rear part has no less attractive large optics, which elegantly connects to the trunk lid. At the top there is a huge spoiler with a brake light on it. The massive bumper has a plastic trim into which 2 huge round pipes of the exhaust system are carefully inserted.

Crossover Dimensions:

• length – 4846 mm;
• width – 1954 mm;
• height – 1749 mm;
• wheelbase – 2914 mm;
• ground clearance - 178 mm;
• maximum weight – 2949 kg.

Specifications

The manufacturer installs a huge 6.4-liter V8 here, which produces 468 horsepower. This engine is powerful, but there are reviews about its reliability. The unit allows the model to accelerate to the first hundred in exactly 5 seconds, which is an amazing result for such a heavy car. The maximum speed is 257 km/h, accordingly, the consumption is quite high - 20 liters will be required for normal city driving without sports, on the highway this figure drops by half.

The unit is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which transmits torque to all wheels. This gearbox was borrowed from. There is an adaptive air suspension installed here, which has 5 behavior modes.

Salon

The interior of the car remains, like the regular version, roomy, comfortable and chic. The driver holds in his hands a 3-spoke steering wheel with a large “SRT” nameplate and multimedia system control selectors.

On the center console there is a large touch display of the multimedia system, under which there are selector controls for it and climate control. The interior is beautiful and will be comfortable both in front and behind, and in addition to the sporty sensations, it will simply be pleasant to be in it.

The dashboard is a display on which the familiar dashboard can be displayed as an image, and there is also an all-round view. The model has 2 panoramic roofs that can be opened like a hatch.

Jeep is an off-road vehicle. Jeep is the quintessential off-road vehicle. But... Jeep alone obviously defies this definition. And off-road, it looks like pork in the center of Tehran. In the specification, instead of ramp angle, horsepower, torque and acceleration are listed first. It's about about Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

The lowered suspension, redesigned front spoiler, diffuser and... SRT badge on the tailgate convince us that this is not an all-terrain vehicle. The huge exhaust pipes, reminiscent of the muzzles of medieval mortars, give it a special look.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 weighs almost 2,500 kg. It is 4875 mm long, 1943 mm wide, 1792 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2915 mm. Like other Grand Cherokees, the SRT has a fairly large trunk - 457 liters to the window line and 787 liters to the roof. When the seat backs are folded, a completely flat surface is formed, allowing you to place a double mattress. One more thing. The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, although it sounds corny, is capable of towing a 3-ton trailer with brakes.

Remembering its predecessor, one cannot help but notice how the SRT8 has changed, if not improved. Gone was the gray, hard plastic that was difficult to keep clean. It has been replaced by beautiful leather with stitching in contrasting colors. The plastic in the cabin is very High Quality. The build quality has also improved.

The appearance of the dashboard and center console has changed greatly. The Italian sense of beauty does not always coexist with pragmatism and ergonomics. But this time everything worked out. Pointers, indicators and switches are where they should be. This is probably the first time in a Grand Cherokee that the driving position is so well thought out. Even the most distant switches can be reached without lifting your back. It is worth noting that the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 no longer has conventional analog gauges. Instead, there is a 7-inch TFT display in front of your eyes, on which the main parameters are displayed.

In addition, the shape of the steering wheel has changed. The buttons on the steering wheel spokes are finally placed logically and clearly. The automatic gear selector is very beautiful and convenient.

Under the hood is an 8-cylinder V-twin HEMI engine. The working volume has been increased to 6.4 liters. Thanks to this, engine power increased to 468 hp. (achieved at 6250 rpm), and torque up to 624 Nm (at 4100 rpm). Now the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 weighing 2.5 tons reaches the first hundred in about 5 seconds, and the top speed is 260 km/h. The results are truly impressive.

As expected, a Muscle Car consumes leaded gasoline like a... Muscle Car. The description talks about a 90-liter fuel tank and consumption of 20 l/100 km in urban conditions, just over 10 liters outside the city and an average of 14 liters. Frankly speaking, this is hard to believe. To awaken all 468 horses, the eight-cylinder engine requires much more fuel.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 performs well on asphalt. In particular, it accurately maintains direction and accurately fits into turns. And all this is contrary to the widespread, not very good opinion about cars from overseas. I can't even remember more efficient steering on any American car. Thanks to the Quadra-Trac system, the SRT8 grips the pavement tenaciously. The system is primarily designed to tame monsters on the asphalt. In addition, it is possible to change the suspension settings and select the operating modes of the all-wheel drive system: Trac, Snow, Sport, towing and automatic mode. A useful addition is the Launch system, which helps the 2.5-ton giant shoot from a standstill.

The 8-cylinder engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The transmission is completely controlled electronically. Thanks to the analysis of more than 40 parameters, the transmission can adapt to driving conditions, optimizing fuel consumption and dynamic characteristics. The program takes into account factors such as mileage, torque, acceleration, road slope, traction and shift frequency. The automatic can also be controlled manually using the steering wheel paddle shifters.

Driving impressions? Stunning, just like the SUV itself. The previous two generations seem to be completely different cars. 410 hp The previous SRT8, produced from 2006-2010, is definitely something different than today's 468 hp. Yes, almost 60 hp. make a very big difference. And not at all in fuel consumption. The SRT8 is almost a second faster than its predecessor. It also has a more efficient gearbox and steering.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is a wild car. It costs too much, burns too much, but it captivates with what men love most. Its bassy exhaust, seat-pressing acceleration and menacing appearance. Yes, this car is an unwise choice. But is reason always needed? After all, life is so short...

At the April auto show in New York two thousand and eleven, new generations of “charged” sedan and SUV Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 (WK2) debuted simultaneously.

The new 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 differs from its “civilian” version by a different massive front bumper with a wide air intake, LED lights daylight, a body-colored grille, a hood with vents, two round exhaust pipes and 20-inch aluminum wheels shod with Pirelli PZero tires.

Options and prices Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 2019

AT8 - 8-speed automatic, AWD - all-wheel drive

There are slightly fewer changes inside the new Grand Cherokee SRT8 - its main differences are sports seats upholstered in Nappa leather and suede, a steering wheel with a flat rim at the bottom, as well as carbon fiber inserts on the dashboard.

Under the hood of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is the same power unit, as on the new Chrysler 300 SRT8, is a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 with 468 hp. (630 Nm), allowing you to shoot from zero to hundreds in just 5.0 seconds. The maximum speed of the SUV is electronically limited to 250 km/h.

To be able to reliably control all this power, the car is equipped with heavy-duty Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension, and a limited-slip rear differential.

Very little time has passed since the debut of the new product, and at the Detroit Auto Show in two thousand and thirteen, Chrysler presented restyled versions, as well as its modification SRT8.

The car received new head optics, a modified radiator grille, taillights with LEDs, a revised spoiler, and wheels with a five-spoke pattern. Inside, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 sports a redesigned center console, a new steering wheel and gear selector, as well as a fully electronic instrument panel with a 7-inch TFT display.

Under the hood of the powerful SUV, the same engine remains, but the outdated five-speed gearbox is replaced by a modern eight-speed automatic transmission. In addition, the engine received an upgraded Selec-Track system, which in track mode now transmits more traction to the rear axle wheels.

From zero to hundreds, the updated Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 2019 shoots in exactly 5.0 seconds, and its top speed reaches 257 km/h. If you are interested, the average fuel consumption in the combined cycle of this car is, according to the manufacturer, 14.1 liters per hundred, and in the city - 20.5 liters. But if you use the full potential, the numbers will be completely different.

Price new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 2019 in Russia is 5,725,000 rubles. The basic package includes a full set of airbags, bi-xenon head optics, an adaptive suspension with five operating modes, a powerful 825-watt Harman Kardon audio system with 19 speakers, a rear view camera, a heated steering wheel and front seats, a keyless entry system, as well as many different security systems.

For an additional fee, buyers can order a panoramic roof, a video system with a DVD player for second-row passengers, a forward collision warning system and a blind spot monitoring system.

The charged Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 received an upgraded version of the 6.4-liter V8 engine, the power of which increased from the previous 468 to 475 hp. At the same time, the non-alternative automatic transmission with eight gears remained unchanged.

Several additional “horses” allowed the car to lose 0.1 seconds in the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h - acceleration was reduced to 4.9 seconds, but the top speed did not change and is still 257 kilometers per hour.

The exterior and interior of the model have also not changed, but the manufacturer reports improved sound insulation of the front and rear side windows, as well as equipping the SUV with an active noise reduction system, which uses an audio system that generates sound vibrations in opposition to noise.

The automotive world completely copies the animal world. There are cute and flexible cars that you just want to pet. There are reserved and predictable ones, from whom you know what to expect. And there are also predators who conceal danger and show aggression. Such animals, like cars, evoke awe, admiration and eerie interest. One of these predators is worth a closer look - the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

Distinctive featuresJeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

You shouldn't expect the driving characteristics of a classic SUV or a smooth ride on country roads. His world is speed.

It is the speed that puts it on a par with the European famous brands producing “hot” SUVs BMW X5 M, Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The magnificent appearance of the car, with the characteristic features of the brand, makes it stand out on the road in general traffic.

The SRT8 differs from the regular Grand Cherokee in almost everything: the engine, different brakes, different suspension, low body kit, interior and, most importantly, character. It is the aggressive character that stimulates fansGrand Cherokeepay a lot of money forSRT8.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 specifications and equipment

• Engine. At the heart of the Grand Cherokee SRT8 is a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine that produces 468 horsepower and 624 pound-feet of torque, good enough for a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds. The car produces 90% of its torque in the range of 2800-6000 rpm. These performance numbers won't surprise anyone these days, but what sets the SRT8 apart is the way it takes off. Using Launch control, the car takes off like a bullet with an aggressively pleasant sound in the cabin. This sound is not from turbines, compressors or superchargers, but from a real True Atmo engine.
• Fuel consumption. In fast driving mode, the SRT8 consumes 30 – 40 liters per 100 km. There is also an Eco mode, with which you should not count on significant savings. When driving slowly around the city, you can limit yourself to a minimum consumption of around 20 liters. Consumption on the highway is between 16 - 20 liters.

• Transmission. The new 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF is already installed on many European models of BMW, Jaguar, and Range Rover. It has a rev-matching downshifts function, which allows you to equalize engine speed when moving to lower gears. When the speed drops sharply, the gears in the box change instantly by 3–4 steps. You can select three gear shift modes – Drive, Sport and Eco. Power is distributed evenly between the Grand Cherokee's axles.
• Controllability. The SRT8 grips the road quite firmly. It is helped by 20' wheels with Pirelli 295/45 tires and the Selec-Track traction control system, which coordinates stability control, adapted braking, gear shift strategy, torque, etc. But you shouldn’t count on good handling off the asphalt.
• Brakes and suspension. The brakes are provided by Brembo with six piston front and four piston rear calipers. Ventilated brake discs measuring 15 inches front and 13.8 inches rear. The independent suspension is energy-intensive, quite comfortable for small holes and uneven roads. At high speeds there is a slight wobble, so it's worth switching to Sport mode before driving aggressively. The ground clearance is 20 cm, which forces you to pay attention on off-road or asphalt exits. This is a “hot” SUV, so you shouldn’t take it into serious off-road combat.

Exterior and interiorJeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

From the outside, the 2016 SRT8 looks striking. He is very nice and harmonious.
