Other headlining features of the US-market Trackhawk
include an upgraded eight-speed automatic transmission, the company’s
Quadra-Trac on-demand all-wheel drive system with an electronic limited-slip
rear differential, launch control, 25 mm lower ride height compared to non-SRT
Grand Cherokee models.
There’s also adaptive bi-xenon headlights with LED
daytime-running lights, 20-inch alloy wheels finished in Titanium with Pirelli
295/45 ZR20 Scorpion Verde all-season tyres, a 7.0-inch digital driver’s
display, a new 8.4-inch Uconnect central infotainment system with Apple CarPlay
and Android Auto, heated front (also ventilated) and rear leather seats and
active noise cancellation.
