Early this year, Jeep, the legendary off-road and sports utility vehicle, had its 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT officially launched in Nigeria by Weststar Associates Limited, the Authorised General Distributor of Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram in Nigeria in collaboration with one of its dealers, M-B Automobile Services Limited.
It was an affair, which formerly ushered the Jeep brand, with the leading SRT into the nation’s auto industry, of which the brand is now gaining good ground.
Enhanced lighting, front fascia and wheels are the first exterior design elements noticed on the new 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT, making it distinctively aggressive and athletically stylish.
Blackened bi-xenon headlamps give the SRT an intimidating look by day and a signature LED treatment broadcasts its presence by night.
Inside the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT is an amazing blend of fabric and hide, style and function that inspires confidence in every move you make.
Style, functionality and authenticity were the main ingredients used during the interior design process of the all-new 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT.
The SRT comes with an eight-speed transmission that delivers 470 horsepower (351 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 465 lb.-ft. (630 N•m) of torque at 4,300 rpm power from the 6.4-liter HEMI engine via a fully electronic automatic mode, or through redesigned steering-wheel paddle controls.
The new package delivers improved acceleration of 100km per hour in 4.8 seconds with quicker shift speeds.
Fuel Saver Technology deactivates four cylinders when full power is not required.
There’s also the famous ‘Launch’ control button in the 2014 SRT.
Its main function is to allow for maximum acceleration and traction off the line.
It is located behind the new T-handle shifter on the centre console and a redesigned SRT-exclusive three-spoke steering wheel.
The steering wheel consists of more ergonomically efficient paddle shifters which feature a host of comfort, convenience and connectivity controls e.g. Uconnect Access with voice activation.
Available GreenEdge technology from Harman Kardon provides SRT vehicle owners an audio system as precise as the cars they drive.
Its GreenEdge employs efficient speaker and amplifier engineering to improve sound quality while diminishing energy consumption.
