The new Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8® walks the line between daily driver, family hauler, and scream machine better than many other vehicles on the market, Automobile Magazine said.
The 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8 packs a wallop and pushes the boundaries of physics like its predecessor, Automobile said. SRT engineers sought to create a vehicle that was as usable in everyday life as it was competitive on a track, the magazine said.
Edmunds Inside Line said, We'll admit that a 160-mph Jeep capable of out auto-crossing German competitors costing 60 percent more might not be on the top of your need to have list. But any Jeep capable of bristling your neck hairs like this will, we guarantee, be on the top of your want to have list.
On the highway or in around town driving, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 is calm enough to fit in at the school pick up line, with the exception of the scalloped hood, hot-rod styling, and burbling exhaust note, Motor Authority said.
If you take it to the track, Motor Authority says you'll find the Jeep SRT8 isn't your typical Jeep rock crawler this is another beast entirely: A pavement punishing Jeep for the boy racer in all of us.
