BIG AND TOUGH: The no-nonsense look Jeep’s new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is the real deal off-road.
Jeep Trailhawk JEEP has given its Grand Cherokee model range a comprehensive upgrade, with a facelift and tail-tuck, revised interiors, and added safety features. There are also detail changes to the engines for power and performance improvements. But the biggest new is what Jeep calls ‘the adventure-ready’ Trailhawk, which is designed to take an already competent off-road vehicle to bigger and better offroad running. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is powered exclusively by a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 paired with Jeep’s proven
By EWAN KENNEDY eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. It uses Jeep’s Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system with an electronic limitedslip rear differential for even greater traction. This is combined with a unique tune for the Quadra-Lift air suspension that further improves the Trailhawk’s wheel articulation and increases ground clearance to 260mm, the most ever in a Grand Cherokee. The addition of four underbody skid plates gives the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
the toughest
even more off-road toughness. Jeep is proud of the fact it is the only automotive marque to win a Purple Heart - for distinguished service during World War II. Red front tow hooks complete the Trailhawk’s off-road enhancements, and combine with a matte black bonnet decal and neutral grey door mirrors and grille to give the Trailhawk its unique look. ,Q WKH LQIRWDLQPHQW ² HOG WKH *UDQG Cherokee Trailhawk has a new version of Off-road Pages housed within the updated 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. Off-Road Pages is included in all 4x4 Grand Cherokee models, with the
exception of the SRT high-performance SRT Performance Pages. The updated Grand Cherokee range also introduces active safety updates like LaneSense, Lane Departure Warning Plus, and Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist. Towing capability with brakes is 3500 kg. Owners can keep an eye on trailers or loads with the new Rear Trailer Hitch Camera View.
