Super Powerful Jeep: Why the 2021 Trackhawk Could Be a Great Used SUV for Power Seekers
Jeep has made some impressive SUVs, including its 2005 Concept, The Jeep Hurricane. However, one of the automaker’s most powerful production vehicles is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Known as the Jeep Trackhawk, the 2021 is so far the final model that has been produced. However, despite the gap in the production schedule, the Trackhawk still makes the list of fastest SUVs. People should note that the automaker has not discontinued this trim of the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The Jeep Trackhawk is one of the fastest SUVs
The Jeep Trackhawk is easily among the fastest SUVs. According to Edmunds, this powerhouse of an SUV has a supercharged 701 hp 6.2-liter V8 under its hood. It’s four-wheel drive and uses an eight-speed shiftable automatic transmission. For the sake of comparison, the standard trim of the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a 3.6-liter V6. The Trackhawk trim can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a reported 4.1 seconds.
What also helps this Jeep SUV stand out regarding performance is its handling ability, making it perfect for curvy roads. Additionally, the 2021 Jeep Trackhawk can tow up to 7,200 pounds, which is 1,000 more than the regular Grand Cherokee trim. In genuine Jeep regard, the Trackhawk doesn’t have excellent fuel economy as it gets an average of 11 miles per gallon in the city and 17 mpg on the highway.
This fastest SUV has a wonderfully rugged interior
The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk also has a different interior than the standard trim. It’s super rugged and has a look that would lend itself to being a semi-race car interior. Unlike some of the lower trims, it has a reasonably generous use of leather. The Jeep Trackhawk contains practically the same amount of space and room for cargo as the standard Grand Cherokee.
The interior technology of the Trackhawk is also improved. In fact, this is true for all Grand Cherokee trims powered by a Hellcat engine. The 2021 Jeep Trackhawk has an 8.4-inch touchscreen display. Impressively so, the display blends into the dashboard. Of course, you can’t configure used vehicles, but some versions will include a 19-speaker premium car sound system. The interior combined with it being one of the fastest SUVs makes it an excellent used option.
The Trackhawk is a safe vehicle
What also helps make this a great used SUV for power seekers, besides it being one of the fastest SUVs, is that it’s safe. The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a perfect five out of five-star rating from the NHTSA. It’s important to note that the Trackhawk didn’t get a separate test, but it’s assumed it would be roughly the same.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is often a top choice for used SUVs because it’s a well-rounded vehicle. However, the 2021 Trackhawk is a standout from the lineup. It is one of the fastest SUVs, and the vehicle, in general, has much to offer.
