Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Lands

Trailhawk Headlines Jeep’s Facelifted Grand Cherokee Range.

JEEP has launched its updated Grand Cherokee range in Australia, and it’s headlined by the arrival of the off-road focused Trailhawk.

The all-new Trailhawk, priced from $74K, has the same 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 (184kW/570Nm) mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission as found in the rest of the range. Thanks to Jeep’s Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system (which features an electronic limited-slip rear diff) and a Quadra-Lift air suspension tune, the trail ready Jeep has improved wheel articulation and a ground clearance of 260mm – the highest clearance ever for a Grand Cherokee.

The Trailhawk’s belly is afforded protection via four underbody skid plates, while red front tow hooks, a matte black bonnet decal, and neutral grey mirrors and grille give the 4x4 an aesthetic boost.
