Mind-bending performance combined with ultra-premium luxury. See what happens when the engineers and designers of the Street and Racing Technology team get hold of the Grand Cherokee.

Interior:

The available Laguna leather seats are crafted from leather sourced from one of the world’s finest tanners. Elmo Leather, based in Sweden, chooses hides exclusively from Scandinavia, where a ban on barbed wire fencing means there are fewer scratches and irregularities on the raw hides. Processing is kept to a minimum to let the leather’s natural softness and beauty shine through. The leather will develop creases and wrinkles that conform to the way that you sit in the seat.

In addition to information like navigation and fuel economy, the seven-inch instrument cluster also provides SRT®-specific communications to enhance driving performance. G-force effects are instantly available as are performance measurements like 0-60 and quarter-mile times.

Telemetry and real-time data aren’t reserved for the racetrack or dyno room anymore. Performance Pages Plus+ are displayed on the Uconnect® 8.4's 8.4-inch touchscreen and provide performance statistics like dynamic handling, braking, engine horsepower, engine torque and acceleration. Performance Pages Plus+ will also track what’s happening under the hood with digital gauges that relay battery voltage, oil pressure, and coolant and intake air temperature.

Safety:

For added safety and security, the 2016 Grand Cherokee SRT® receives a new Valet mode that enables a number of new vehicle configurations. The engine is remapped to significantly reduce horsepower and torque, limited to 4,000 rpm. The transmission locks out access to first gear and upshifts earlier than normal and will treat the manual shifter position the same as the drive position. Traction, steering and suspension are set to their Street settings. The steering wheel paddle shifters, drive mode functions and launch control are disabled and Electronic Stability Control+ is enabled to full-on mode. The driver can activate and deactivate Valet mode with a personalized four-digit PIN code.

Engine:

475 Horses

Ready and Waiting

The 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine delivers a massive 475 horsepower through an efficient eight-speed automatic transmission. Use the fully electronic automatic shift mode or climb up and down the gears with steering-wheel paddle controls. A new leather-trimmed polystable lever-style electronic shifter is new for 2016. Eco Mode and Fuel Saver Technology complete the equation for both power and efficiency.
