2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Photos Leak Ahead of Debut
Photos of the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk have leaked ahead of its official debut.
Given the timing of the leak, it is likely that the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk will make its official debut at the 2016 New York Auto Show next week. Unfortunately this isn’t the Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee you might be waiting for, so there’s no 707 horsepower to celebrate here. Instead, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk gets a similar treatment as the Renegade and Cherokee Trailhawk models, making it more off-road capable than the standard offerings.
On the Jeep Cherokee, the Trailhawk variant features a one-inch lift with off-road suspension along with standard skid plates that help protect the vitals underneath the SUV. It appears based on the leaked photos that the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk will get a similar treatment, including 17-inch wheels with beefy tires and subtle red accents.

Since the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk wasn’t officially unveiled, details and specifications haven’t been announced. Expect pricing to be around the $38,000 to $40,000 range considering the standard Cherokee starts at $24,390 including destination and the Cherokee Trailhawk is priced from $31,990. The current Jeep Grand Cherokee has a starting price of $30,990.
