About the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT WK2
The WK2-generation Grand Cherokee SRT8 marked a significant step up in refinement and performance for Jeep's flagship performance SUV. Powered by the 6.4-litre Apache HEMI V8, it delivered brutal straight-line speed paired with a sophisticated adaptive damping system and Brembo brakes. While it lacked the low-range transfer case of its siblings, its Selec-Track system offered five dynamic modes including a dedicated Track setting. It remains a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a practical daily driver with the soul of a muscle car.
