Compared to the Durango the Grand Cherokee has a 5.1 inch shorter wheelbase, is 11.4 inches shorter overall and weighs 406lbs less. I recently reviewed the Grand Cherokee SRTs cousin the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT and I instantly noticed a few differences driving the Grand Cherokee. While I couldn’t try out launch control, a little bit of brake torquing and flooring the gas resulted in violently quick launches with almost no wheelspin. 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (Mopar Insiders)

Apple carplay and Android Auto is now standard with the new UConnect 4C infotainment system which features crisper graphics and a faster processor than the older UConnect units. As with the Challenger 392 Shaker I reviewed, I found the cooled seats work much better with alcantara than standard leather. Seats are leather with alcantara seating surfaces, heated and cooled in front and heated in the rear. I’m just over 6 feet tall and found it easy to get comfortable in all seating positions.

A panoramic sunroof makes the interior feel airy, while back seat passengers get a reclining seatback and tv monitors with audio/video and HDMI inputs if so equipped. The steering wheel also has nice hand grips and perforated leather sections.

The SRT gets a unique flat bottomed steering wheel with a nice thick leather wrapped rim. Gloss carbon fiber and silver trim is abundant, setting off the all black interior. Jeep did an incredibly good job with the interior, all materials are of very high quality and I’m a big fan of the black alcantara headliner and a-pillars. The SRT gets unique front and rear bumpers, sideskirts, wheels and a lowered ride height. 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (Mopar Insiders)Įxterior wise the 2018 Grand Cherokee SRT has a classy muscular look with nice lines but enough visual cues to let you know it’s something special. Chrome trim and badging from other Grand Cherokees is replaced with gloss black trim giving a sinister look. While I don’t get to spend enough time with the vehicles to do a thorough review these are my first drive impressions. My tester was finished in Granite Crystal Metallic and had black Nappa leather seats and suede seating surfaces. Options wise this SRT had the Rear DVD entertainment system, trailer tow package, SRT high performance audio package, panoramic sunroof and optional semi gloss black aluminum wheels.

The Grand Cherokee SRT is no longer the highest performing Grand Cherokee in the line-up (Those honors go to the new 707HP HELLCAT powered Trackhawk), but make no mistake it is no slouch. Jeep gave the Grand Cherokee a complete redesign for the 2011 model year and has kept it fresh with constant updates both cosmetically, functionally and mechanically. 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (Mopar Insiders)ġ2 Model years later and the Grand Cherokee SRT8 is still around although now called the Grand Cherokee SRT. Jeep and SRTs new creation was extremely popular, outrunning all other performance SUVs with a lower price of entry. An SRT specific sport suspension as well as Brembo brakes rounded out the performance package, while styling and interior tweaks rounded out the SRT8 as a whole.
