For decades, Jeep stands for rugged and reliable off-road performance. It’s no wonder, then, that the company is doing well with the current popularity in the sport utility vehicle market, when their lineup is dominated by SUVs, both in the form of road-oriented crossovers. and rugged all-terrain.

The Grand Cherokee is one of Jeep’s most popular options and one of the company’s entries into the lucrative luxury SUV market (a market Jeep started with the Jeep Wagoneer in the 1960s).

But the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is not primarily designed for luxury comfort or for the standard SUV niche of traversing difficult off-road terrain. It’s just as capable of doing both of these things as the base Jeep Grand Cherokee, of course, but what the Trackhawk is really designed for is to wipe out its competition on racetracks and drag tracks. .

First launched in 2018 and largely unchanged since then, the Trackhawk is a serious contender with the most high-end performance sport utility vehicles.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a monster on the track. Here’s what you need to know before buying a 2020 model.

Performance is the main selling point of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, and it plan to shovel. It is the most powerful Jeep ever built, equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that develops up to 707 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, as well as 645 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm.

It puts that power through an eight-speed automatic transmission with overdrive in, as you would expect on a high-performance, four-wheel-drive SUV. All of this gives the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk a zero to sixty time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 290 mph.


Fuel economy, however, is not a selling point of the Trackhawk, as one would expect from an SUV over seven hundred horsepower. It only gets 11 mpg in the city and 13 mpg on the highway, for a combined fuel economy of 13 mpg.

It’s, frankly, garbage, but you know what you’re getting yourself into if you look at that kind of vehicle. Even with the Trackhawk’s 24.6 gallon fuel tank, there will be plenty of stops to refuel.

It’s not a stripped-down track car, however. The interior of the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is just as roomy and comfortable as any other Jeep Grand Cherokee model, although the aesthetic is a bit more race-oriented. The five-person seats offer 40.3 inches of legroom in the front and 38.6 inches of legroom in the rear, so everyone in the cabin is quite comfortable.


An 8.4-inch touchscreen in the center console provides access to the Trackhawk’s infotainment system, which has all the features you would expect from a 2020 car model, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as a standard features.

Insurance and cost of the Trackhawk

The average insurance coverage of a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is surprisingly reasonable for such a capable car. According to Insuraviz, the average cost to insure the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is $ 1,936 per year, or $ 161 per month. For comparison, the average cost of insuring the base Jeep Grand Cherokee is $ 1,666 per year, or $ 138.83 per month, and the average cost of insuring a mid-size SUV is $ 1,497 per year, or $ 124.75 per month.


Those numbers might be considerably lower, but none of those cheaper midsize SUVs have 707 horsepower, right? The amount you end up paying can of course vary significantly from that average cost. The price of an insurance quote can vary widely in either direction depending on a number of factors.

The driver’s age, gender, driving time, accident history, place of residence and especially the company with which he takes out a policy are all factors that enter into the cost that he ends up by. pay for car insurance.

All the power of the Trackhawk certainly comes at a price. A starting MSRP of $ 88,895, in fact. That’s nearly $ 19,000 more than the next tallest version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Trackhawk is the most expensive vehicle of any type the company has ever sold.


And yet, when you consider that the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk outperforms its rival, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, despite the Porsche Cayenne Turbo’s MSRP of $ 131,450, it almost seems like a bargain. That’s a difference of $ 42,555 between the two performance SUVs, which means the Porsche Cayenne Turbo costs almost half the price of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.
