2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Waynesville, NC - $11,997

The Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT is a vehicle that is powerful and refined, luxurious and functional, muscular and stylish.

For 2015, the Grand Cherokee SRT builds upon this proven success with more horsepower and torque, a new Red Vapor special edition package and new Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology which further heightens Grand Cherokee SRT’s refinement and fun-to-drive factor during a comfortable daily commute or a more spirited drive at a favorite race track.

Mindful of improving refinement while preserving the Grand Cherokee SRT’s high-performance character, engineers developed an Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) system. Using the vehicle audio system and four strategically located microphones, it automatically introduces sound to the cabin. The result is enhanced sound-system clarity and unfettered enjoyment of the Grand Cherokee SRT’s signature exhaust note.

The new Red Vapor special edition package introduces unique exterior and interior styling cues to enhance the distinct, performance-oriented looks of the award-winning SUV and is available on three body colors: Redline Red Pearl Clear Coat, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat and Bright White Clear Coat.

On the exterior, standard five-spoke 20-inch “Goliath” wheels are finished in Black Chrome with bright chrome center caps, while additional gloss black appointments include the SRT liftgate badge, Jeep hood and rear light bar badges, Grand Cherokee door badge, lower grille bezels and upper grille inserts.

Inside, the exclusive SRT logo on the high-performance designed steering wheel is backlit and the steering wheel bezel changes to an anodized silver finish. Light black chrome replaces the standard bright chrome and Radar Red accents are used throughout the cabin to enhance the luxurious, muscular interior. Under the hood, engine beauty covers trimmed in dark red complete the special edition package.
Power for the Grand Cherokee SRT is generated by the proven and powerful 6.4L HEMI® V-8 with Fuel Saver Technology. Mated to the fully electronic 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission, it features on-the-fly shift-map changing. The 2015 Grand Cherokee SRT runs from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in 16.3 seconds, can cover the quarter mile in the mid-13 second range, has a top speed of 160 mph, and brakes from 60-0 mph in 116 feet.

The standard launch control system mimics a professional driver’s inputs to optimize Grand Cherokee SRT’s performance by bringing engine, transmission, driveline, stability control, and suspension in line for a textbook launch. Controlled by a button behind the T-handle shifter on the center console, the result is improved and more consistent straight-line acceleration. The performance experience is further accentuated by transfer case proportioning and dynamic controls for the Selec-Track system when the vehicle is in Track Mode. When this mode is selected, 70 percent of the engine’s torque is delivered to the rear wheels for a more pronounced rear-wheel-drive experience. Grand Cherokee SRT drivers will notice a vehicle that is more responsive from mid-corner to exit.

Control hardware for the Grand Cherokee SRT consists of a short- and long-arm (SLA) independent front suspension with coil springs, Bilstein adaptive damping suspension (ADS), upper- and lower-control arms (“A” arms), and a stabilizer bar. The rear suspension is a multi-link design with coil spring, Bilstein ADS, aluminum lower control arm, independent upper links (tension and camber), plus a separate toe link, and a stabilizer bar.

The Selec-Track system uses performance-tuned software to distinguish the five dynamic modes: Auto, Sport, Tow, Track, and Snow, enabling drivers to choose a vehicle setting that ideally meets their requirements and ambient conditions. Drivers will find the torque split change in Track mode provides a vehicle that is more responsive from mid-corner to exit and one that delivers faster lap times at their favorite track.

Inside the high-performance passenger cabin, the Uconnect 8.4-inch touch screen display shows a wealth of SRT-exclusive Performance Pages, including recent track times, lateral acceleration, 0-60 mph times and much more. All data is shown in full-color and can be shared with other SRT enthusiasts via a built-in 3G connection.
On the center console, drivers will find the leather-wrapped T-handle shifter for the eight-speed transmission that allows the driver to select two driving modes including Drive and Sport.

The SRT-exclusive heated three-spoke steering wheel with a flat bottom features a bevy of comfort, convenience and connectivity controls and more pronounced, more ergonomically efficient paddle shifters. The steering wheel is designed and positioned to provide optimal view of the gauge cluster that features a seven-inch, full-color, customizable instrument display. This screen allows drivers to select from a multitude of layout and information to be shown in the center of the gauge cluster. True carbon fiber trim accent sweeps across the driver’s door, instrument panel and front passenger door.

The 2015 Grand Cherokee SRT Laguna leather interior is available in two distinctive colors: Torque (black) and Sepia.
