High-performance SUVs combine the practicality of large utility vehicles and the power, acceleration, and dynamics of supercars. A standout name in the super SUV segment is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, also known as the Jeep Trackhawk. With a 707-hp V8 engine under its hood, this SUV is the most powerful Jeep and one of the most powerful SUVs worldwide. In the pre-owned vehicle market, the demand for this SUV remains strong for various reasons.

1) Cabin quality and ergonomics

The Trackhawk’s exteriors come with an understated yet sporty theme. There are straight, aggressive lines all along various panels of this SUV.

The Trackhawk’s infotainment system, an 8.4-inch touchscreen in the car’s dashboard, is fluid and intuitive to use. This system, known formally as Uconnect, helps occupants control most of the vehicle’s functions. Highlights of the cabin include Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, 4G LTE mobile Wi-Fi as standard, and an optional 19-speaker, 825-watt Harman/Kardon stereo system and an entertainment system in the rear.

2) Passenger comfort and cargo capacity

This SUV can comfortably seat five passengers.

Despite the Trackhawk being a performance SUV, it offers a decent amount of cargo space behind the first, second, and third rows of seats. It also offers adequate cargo space at the beltline and cargo bed width between wheel housings. The overall cargo space/area behind the front row is 68.3 cubic feet, while the cargo space/area behind the second row is 36.3 cubic feet.

Overall, this SUV performs well in terms of cabin quality, passenger comfort, and cargo capacity. But its real strengths lie elsewhere.

3) Engine and performance

The Hellcat V8 engine powering this vehicle lends it the acceleration of a rocketship. This SUV’s instantaneous throttle responses and outright speed are some of its highlights. The Trackhawk can move from 0 to 60 mph in an incredible 3.5 seconds. Apart from the sheer power released by this engine, drivers will appreciate how easily the power is delivered to all four wheels with every press on the accelerator. The car reaches its top speed of 180 mph fairly comfortably.

Despite its extreme performance numbers, the Trackhawk also performs relatively well in terms of fuel economy. It returns about 11 mpg on city roads and around 17 mpg on highways.

4) Ride and handling

The key highlight of the Trackhawk’s drivetrain is its 4-wheel drive system. It allows the Trackhawk to possess incredible road grip even at extremely high speeds. As a result, this SUV’s handling is sharp and composed even along the tightest of corners and twisty roads. The powerful disc brakes help this vehicle decelerate rapidly during emergency braking situations. Moreover, the brakes of this vehicle do not fade even after prolonged and repeated usage. The Trackhawk’s transmission is equally responsive and driver-friendly. Both upshifts and downshifts bring out instantaneous reactions from this massive vehicle, whether on city roads or highways.

The ride quality, as expected from a high-performance vehicle such as this, is stiff and less than stable. Several bumps filter into the cabin. Despite that, the sound insulation within the Trackhawk’s luxurious cabin ensures that external noises are kept at a low level inside this vehicle. While the ride quality of the Jeep Trackhawk for sale may not compare to its other highlights, it is a minor trade-off for the SUV’s incredible handling.

5) Convenience features and safety equipment

At its high price, buyers will expect the pre-owned Trackhawk to come loaded with entertainment, convenience, and safety features, and the vehicle does not disappoint. Some of its standout features include a CommandView dual-pane panoramic sunroof, a Laguna leather sports seat package for extra luxurious seating for all of the vehicle’s occupants, adaptive cruise control, multi-zone climate control, electrical adjustability in all the seats, a powerful audio system with 19 speakers, 20-inch alloy wheels, a BlueRay rear seat entertainment package, rear air vents, a multifunctional steering wheel, heated mirrors, and GPS-powered navigation in the infotainment system.

Some of the vehicle’s safety equipment includes electronic stability control (ESC), roll stability control (RSC), Selec-Trac ABS and driveline traction control, side impact beams, dual-stage driver and passenger seat-mounted side airbags, front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring system, forward collision warning-plus, cross path detection, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, airbag occupancy sensor, a parking camera, and rear child safety locks.

6) Pricing

In the pre-owned vehicle market, the Trackhawk is priced at around $50,000 to $135,000, or even more. The price depends on the ongoing market value of the pre-owned Trackhawk and the number of optional extras buyers want to include in the SUV. Potential buyers must note that the above prices are dynamic and subject to change.
