We were introduced to Jeep’s insanely powerful, unassumingly stylish 2018 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk in April at the New York Auto Show. Four months later, we’ve finally got official pricing for the mid-size SUV; starting at $85,900 US (excluding fees and taxes), the 707-hp Grand Cherokee Trackhawk will hit dealerships in late 2017, while orders will begin this month, August 10.

Boasting a 6.2L V8 engine making 707 hp, coupled with a 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds, this Trackhawk will hit a top speed of 180 mph, so you’ll never again have an excuse for being late to work or making it to your kid’s hockey practice on time.
To accommodate all the power and 645 lb.-ft. of torque is an upgraded TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and driveline components. Rolling on new standard 20 x 10-inch Titanium-finish wheels, stopping power comes via yellow-painted Brembo brake calipers, part of a new Brembo braking system that finds the largest-ever front brakes on a Jeep vehicle and delivers 60-0 mph braking performance of 114 feet.
Paired with an adaptive, performance-minded suspension system and five drive modes for more customized driving dynamics, this beast will handle unlike anything in the sport utility world today.
