2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Specs, Performances, Price

The all-new version of the legendary SUV is on the way. The new model is coming for the next year and it brings loads of interesting changes and upgrades. While everyone talks about the new Giorgio platform, the thing that comes to our minds is the powertrain lineup. According to most reports, it won’t change too much and while there is a chance to see the new entry-level unit, range-topping models won’t change too much in this aspect. Naturally, this leads us to the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, which will continue to be one of the most exciting SUVs on the market, despite that the Trackhawk comes with significantly more power and way better performances.

Simply, this model seems like a perfect measure. With a large and naturally-aspirated V8 engine, it makes perfect noise and ensures more than respectable performances.  At the same time, it is practical enough for the daily drive, while the price seems fairly reasonable, give all the goodies you get in return. We presume that the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT release date will be scheduled for the same time as the rest of the lineup.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind in this case is the engine. The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT specs are still a mystery, but we don’t expect that things will change significantly compared to the outgoing model. Therefore, the new version should carry on with the same 6.4-liter V8 HEMI engine. It currently puts out around 475 horsepower, which is enough to move this large and heavy SUV in less than 4.5 seconds.

This redesign will probably bring some notable power increase but more importantly, the new model should be significantly lighter, which in practice means even quicker acceleration compared to the outgoing version.

Of course, the engine isn’t the only amazing feature of this SUV. There are tons of upgrades that make it such an amazing vehicle to drive. Still, the overall design has never been too much different compared to the rest of the lineup and we are pretty sure that the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2021 won’t be any different in this aspect. Therefore, the base layout will be based on a new Giorgio platform, which will provide significant improvements in terms of performances and overall driving experience. The new model will be lighter, it will handle better and, all in all, it will offer superior experience.

In terms of styling, the new model won’t bring any radical change. Of course, the look will be all-new, but we definitely count on evolutionary changes only. Naturally, the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT will come with loads of upgrades, with tons of details that will emphasize its performance character. At this point, it’s still early to talk about details.

Interior

Naturally, the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT will come with loads of exclusive details on the inside as well. You may count on things like seats, trims and similar things that will accentuate the model’s performance characteristics. However, those ‘general’ changes seem far more interesting. As you may know, the next generation will be notably bigger. It will come with a  longer wheelbase, which means more space on the inside. Of course, this leads us to the conclusion that the new model will come with the third row, at least as an option. We don’t know for sure if this version will be available in a family-hauler version but we have no doubt it will offer more space for the passengers in the first two rows of seats.

Despite the Coronavirus outbreak, the latest reports suggest that the new model will hit the market by the end of the year. When it comes to the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT price, we presume it won’t change significantly compared to the current model, which starts slightly under 70.000 dollars.

New Engines For New Grand Cherokee

Just like the current model, the next-generation Cherokee will also be characterized by an extremely long engine lineup. Moreover, it will be even longer. Not only that the current engines will carry on, we will also see a new base engine, in the form of a familiar 2.0-liter turbo-four, which puts out around  270 horsepower.

Another huge novelty will be the addition of a new turbo inline-six, which is currently under development and which should arrive in the near future. The new engine will measure 3.0 liters in displacement and it will come in several output versions. Allegedly, the most powerful variant will be good for about 525 horsepower.
