2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk review
For starters, the standard ride height is 24.5mm lower than other Grand Cherokee variants – immediately obvious the moment the car pulled up outside our New York City accommodation.
That low-down stance is accentuated by the Trackhawk’s 20-inch matte black alloys, shod with extra-wide Pirelli Scorpion rubber. Behind the wheel spokes you can clearly see the plate size brake rotors and even more obvious six-pot calipers in bright yellow.
There are other signs, too, like the four-inch quad exhaust pipes out back and the missing fog lights – removed to make way for a more useful air intake on the left side and oil cooler on the right.
There are more cooling measures deployed in the Trackhawk’s bulging bonnet, only this time allow the heat to escape from the powerhouse motor below it. It’s part of an overall cooling system that maintains the air at 140 degrees Fahrenheit when you’re having a real crack, while at the same time generating air flow of up to 30,000 litres every minute.
