The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Costs More Than A Dodge Demon
We love the silliness of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. What’s not to love about the concept of stuffing the Challenger/Charger Hellcat V8 into a high-riding SUV?
The only trouble is, this 6.2-litre, supercharged slice of four-wheel drive freedom does not come cheap. Jeep has revealed this week that the Trackhawk will retail at $85,900 MSRP (plus $1095 destination charge) - around $18,000 more than the 6.4-litre-powered SRT model, and just a smidge more than a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
OK, so the Demon isn’t exactly a comparable car, but it does show just how pricey this thing is. Then again, it’s still a lot cheaper than something like a BMW X5M ($101,695), which is slower, and doesn’t have the same commendable air of ridiculousness.
As a reminder, thanks to the wonders of four-wheel drive traction and a launch control system, the 697bhp (707hp) hulk will dispatch 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds, topping out at 180mph. Jeep claims it’s the quickest production SUV ever.
It’s so fast off the line that it can beat a surprising array of exotic cars, and even the Hellcat twins with which it shares an engine.
Prospective Trackhawk customers will be able to order the car via their local Jeep dealer from 10 August, with the first cars arriving in showrooms during the fourth quarter of 2017.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Having a family costs, as shown by jeep. Although a family is nice the demon is tempting…
In the end you get a Demon any way. Either a car or a wife…
“race car drivers don’t need girlfriends!”
That’s the same as an M2 in the netherlands…
Or you could buy a Mustang GT for just 119000€ (139000$). I never understood your country’s pricing of cars. I thought over 40000€ for a Mustang here in Germany was expensive, but your prices are simply ridiculous :D
Or the same as a 530d in Norway….
Or a normal VW Golf in Singapore (allowing for currency conversion).
That’s insane!
86 grand for a jeep? HA
60K for a Honda?
(I’m talking about the original NSX).
I thought gearheads knew better than to just look at the badge.
Sure, why not. With that power figure.
“I need a really fast car to haul my family around”
Sees cost of Trackhawk. Sells family.
“Now that I don’t have a family to haul around I’ll spend less money on a Demon instead”
If I was rich I would pay that stupidity
Yes, but considering that BMW X5 M cost over 100k dollars and has a lot less power, 86k for Trackhawk isn’t too bad.
Extra weight=extra money
Is it coming to the UK?
I bet you 10 grands it won’t.
The possibility is there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsNkj7VW9mU&t=180s
