Electric Technology Car News: The goal of the Porsche Jeep Grand Cherokee is to beat its rivals

As early as April, Jeep officially released a set of official pictures of the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk model. It was officially unveiled at the New York Auto Show on April 12. As a high-performance model, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk directly targets high-performance SUVs such as the BMW X5 M and Cayenne Turbo S. So let's take a look at whether this car can compete with the BMW X5 M and Cayenne Turbo S.

Judging from the appearance alone, the style of the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is not too radical. People who are not familiar with it may not recognize it as a high-performance version at the first time. The front fog lights of the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk have been cancelled this time, and the driver's side has become an air intake, and the cooling system is hidden behind the passenger side.

The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is equipped with the largest brake disc ever used by the brand, with a diameter of 400mm, and the rear brake disc is 350mm. The yellow brake calipers with 6 pistons in the front and 4 pistons in the rear are from Brembo. The tire size is 295/45 R20, and it is standardly equipped with Pirelli SCORPION VERDE. Of course, it is recommended to choose P ZERO because it can focus more on road performance. There is a Trackhawk logo on the rear of the car, and it adopts a double-sided four-outlet exhaust layout. The exhaust pipe is very small. If it is replaced with a bowl-shaped one, it will be more wild.

The interior design has not changed much, with leather material and carbon fiber decoration. The selection of materials is worthy of recognition. The design style is unique to American cars, which is very different from its German rivals. The tachometer is placed in the middle, swapped with the speedometer, which is more in line with the style of performance cars. The Uconnect system has a new performance page, which can observe the current engine status, test acceleration, test power output and other 6 modes.

The custom mode can adjust the transmission, paddle shift, stability system, four-wheel drive system, suspension and steering individually to meet personalized needs. The biggest highlight of the entertainment system is the addition of CarPlay and Android Auto, which improves the expansion capability of the system functions and is more in line with current usage needs.

In terms of power, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 6.2L V8 supercharged engine adopts OHV structure, with a maximum power of 717 horsepower and a peak torque of 875 Nm. In order to adapt to the high horsepower output, forged crankshafts and pistons are used.
