Jeep Brand Chief Confrms Hellcat Powered Grand Cherokee In Development

The brand’s chief, Mike Manley, has allegedly confirmed the company is going to quench the fan’s thirst and deliver a Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee starting with the summer of next year.

As of July 2017 anyone looking to compete with the Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR will be able to go towards the American connection as the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk will be borrowing the Hellcat engine. Of course this hardcore Grand Cherokee wasn’t actually the best kept secret ever – we think even Jeep was fine with the spill – and we’re happy the speculation will be put to rest now as the official has confirmed the model will get launched at home in the United States in July next year.

While they will sell every one they can build, the Grand Cherokee is getting aged and resources should be invested to give it a full makeover.

They don't have the money to produce all these new platforms and cars - that is why they needed Gm - who did have the platforms in the pipeline. So this is just a stunt to put money in their coffers while new platforms will continuously be delayed.

A 707 H.P. SUV will be inherently unstable and a dangerous vehicle.
