The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is already a very powerful SUV so it makes sense that for the 2013 model year, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 goes on mostly unchanged.

For 2013, Jeep added a bright white ‘Alpine’ and brilliant black ‘Vapor’ special-edition model which includes unique exterior features and Black Vapor Chrome finish on split 5-spoke wheels.

Power for the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 still comes from a massive 6.4 liter V8 engine making 470-hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. That allows for 0 to 60 run in 4.8 seconds, 0-100-0 mph in the mid-16 second range, quarter mile in the mid-13 second range, 60 to 0 mph in 116 feed and a top speed of 160 mph.

The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 price starts at $59,995. Prices for the Alpine and Vapor special edition packages is $2,495.

    The third
    generation of Jeep Grand Cherokee offers improved engine capacity, perfect road
    performance and well-appointed passenger saloon.

    Dynamic and
    aggressive design of Grand Cherokee is emphasized with gitter and round halogen
    headlights. The car increased in length and width, the rear lights became
    larger, its windscreen is more flat, and aerodynamic qualities were improved. In
    short, the third generation Grand Cherokee’s appearance hasn’t undergone any
    radical changes, but still it’s impossible to mistake this vehicle with the
    previous generation.

    The interior of Grand Cherokee was appreciably changed, now its design is
    steeped in European tradition. The salon is very ergonomic, spacious and cozy.
    Two-tone seats are in tune with the dashboard of the same colour. The dark top
    of the dashboard is not only aesthetic but also practical, as it casts a less
    glare in bright sunlight. Bolsters became more elastic. Only high-quality
    materials were used in the design of interior. The car is equipped with Boston
    Acoustics audio system with 6 speakers, there is also a DVD-system for the rear
    passengers at buyer’s option. The independent front suspension provides the
    driver with full control of the steering and reduces the weight of the car. In
    the back there is 5-lever suspension with stabilizer bar.

    For the
    first time the electronic stability program ESP was included in the standard
    package of Jeep Grand Cherokee. It helps the driver to manage difficult road
    conditions and reduces the risk of skidding. All these upgrades, as well as
    increased axle spacing, enhanced the handling of Jeep Grand Cherokee to the
    next level.

    Two new AWD systems were developed for the Grand Cherokee. The system
    Quadra-Trac II employed a two-speed chain-driven transfer case, therefore it
    allows the driver to feel confident on the road, as it can determine and
    correct the tire slip very fast due to the input of sensors. And the system
    Quadra-Drive II consists of full-time transfer case and ELSD (electronic
    limited slip differentials) that distribute engine torque to the tires with
    transaction when tire slip is detected. That’s why Grand Cherokee
    provides amazing off-road capability.
