2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Trailhawk
Images of Jeep's new Jeep
Grand Cherokee Trailhawk have hit the web, just ahead of an official release at
the 2016 New York Auto Show. But,
it doesn't appear to get the Hellcat supercharged V8.
The pictures that appeared
over at Jalopnik, show the full extent of visual enhancements the Trailhawk
receives over the regular Grand Cherokee, with a desert backdrop.
The Trailhawk name is also
used on Cherokee and Renegade variants, signifying more butch styling and more
off-road prowess than their normal counterparts, consisting of raised ride
height, off-road oriented tires and other visual enhancements including
blackouts and red appointments.
While official details are
yet to be released, we can see the GC Trailhawk features Goodyear tyres with
dark-accented five spoke rims, thicker wheelarch flares and front bumper
featuring red tow hooks, black bonnet panel, Trackhawk badging and red
stitching inside. Although quite subtle, they go quite a long way to giving the
GC a more aggressive appearance.
We’re still holding out for
the 707 hp, Hellcat-powered version, promised by the big man himself- Sergio
Marchionne at this year’s Detroit Motor Show, which expected to become the
world’s fastest SUV.
In the meantime this is a
pretty nice entrée before the main course. We will bring you more details as
they come to hand.
