First drive: 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk in Las Vegas USA

Jeep is synonymous with off-roading, and nothing epitomised that more than their Trailhawk-branded range of vehicles, which came with more offroad equipment than regular versions of the Renegade, the Compass and the Grand Cherokee. We found all three Trailhawk models to be impressive both on and off the road. Yet there was a lot of noise being made to build a Hellcat version of the Grand Cherokee SRT, offroad abilities be damned. So they did. And it gave birth to a new badge — Trackhawk. And we got to try out for a few minutes at a racetrack in the United States.

On invitation from Jeep, we had the opportunity to check out what is quite possibly the largest annual aftermarket-equipment trade show in the world, where even a few major manufacturers such as Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Hyundai and Chevrolet make an appearance with modified cars, aside from hundreds of privately-owned tuner shops and suppliers.

We figured why not take the chance to review it, since it’s likely destined to hit Middle East shores eventually, maybe within a year.

The current generation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been around for half a decade now, with a second facelift debuting for the 2017 model year. Changes are minimal, and there is no reason to change it anyway, considering what a fine product it continues to be even now. However, a new Trailhawk model has been added to the line-up, and we got the chance to try it out in and around the city of Las Vegas, Nevada.

We attended this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas, Nevada last week, courtesy of Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. Better known as SEMA, it is arguably the largest tuner show in the world, although it is strictly a trade show, although it’s pretty crowded even without the general public being allowed in. The American brands were the most strongly represented on the show floor, followed by the Japanese, with a few dabbling in European and Korean makes. The stands generally consisted of aftermarket suppliers, tuning and restoration garages, wheel manufacturers and accessories outfits, among others. Major carmakers with custom concepts at the show included Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles,
