Judging by how much we enjoy romping around in the 475-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, a Hellcat version sounds like complete mayhem. And Hellcat-ing the Grand Cherokee is delivering many mixed feelings – form the question of whether diehard fans would be driven away to an idea about having an accident in such a monster once the inexperienced driver inevitably trespasses the laws Newton established a while back. That short video is available below. The Grand Cherokee SRT is a powerful luxurious SUV with most of the modern amenities.
Ever since Dodge unleashed its 707-horsepower Hellcat Challenger and Charger, fans of the Jeep brand have eyed the supercharged V8s enviously from across Fiat-Chrysler’s corporate architecture. Last year, the likelihood of seeing a Hellcat Jeep seemed low, since the company was having a hard time building enough of the blown Hemi V8s for the two popular Dodge cars.
The Grand Cherokee SRT is available in three engine option, wherein the 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V-6 engine will probably make its way to the India.
The interior of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is dominated by an attractive centre console that can be used to control the SUV’s electronic features. The key concern is whether or not the transfer case and the other four wheel drive components will handle all of that power in a vehicle this heavy.
