You can magically sense the vehicle’s excitement. Once you slip behind the wheel of the New 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 it’s magical! With power bursting out of the 470-horsepower 6.4 liter Hemi V-8 you’ll be wishing you were driving through the orange cones at a race course. When the ride is over, you can hit the brake pedal and activate those high performance Brembo brakes.
At first glance, you’re going to be thinking that the new Grand Cherokee SRT8 looks like a hot rod SUV; with double heat extractors on the hood, it looks like a bull ready to charge. The war-striped LED daytime running lights on the front put approaching vehicles on notice that you are on the road.
The new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is big and bold and defies every SUV stereotype. It’s quick, it’s nimble, it’s mind-blowing powerful, it’s track ready yet daily driver worthy. Buy an SRT, the new Chrysler Group LLS brand that stands for Street and Racing Technology, and you will earn a day of professional track training from the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Ask your Sales Consultant at Tunkhannock Auto Mart, located in Tunkhannock Pa., for details.
“Throwing this 5200-pound SUV around corners gives you the same guilty pleasure as finishing a meal that earns you a T-shirt,” states Dave Senkow, Managing Partner of Tunkhannock Auto Mart located in Tunkhannock Pa!
Passengers will be cuddled in leather and suede-sculpted seats with that mix of joy and fear as it transforms from SUV to fun car, ripping up the road, spitting it out and leaving everyone in a trail of exhaust coming out of those stunning 4-inch twin exhaust tips.
The one-piece rear section also denotes the vehicles power, and a clever cover sits over an optional towing package addition, providing up to 5,000 pounds of towing. When you purchase your vehicle at Tunkhannock Auto Mart, you will enjoy 15% off that towing package making it that much easier to haul your snowmobile in the winter, and boat or ATV in the summer.
Comfort is not compromised; inside the Grand Cheorkee SRT8 is an interior right out of a James Bond movie. It is plush, well-laid out just like the Grand Cherokee. The carbon fiber trim pieces add to the cabins’ striking look. There are even SRT Exclusive Performance Pages available through the navigation screen. They give you all of that cool racing information-such as 0-60 times, braking distance and other engine information.
The Grand Cherokee SRT8, available at Tunkhannock Auto Mart, is understated boldness from every angle. It can drive calmly along a mountain road, its’ stiff body and steering allowing it to go through curve after curve without the slightest drive adjustment. The new underpinnings make any driver confident. This SUV remains amazingly quiet when you’re on the road; you will find it exceptionally quiet and comfortable.
Then there is the Select-Track system. You select the driving environment and then the active dampening system does the rest. But the system does more than just adjust the shocks. It controls wheel spin if you’re in mud or snow. Also it manages the amount of torque sent to each axle. And controls throttle input, the electronic limited slip differential, stability control and even cylinder deactivation. All of these things play a critical role in a vehicle’s dynamics and let you do things in this vehicle that will make you scream with excitement.
Another surprise you will find in this 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the fuel deactivation system; this system turns off four cylinders whenever they’re not needed to help get better gas mileage. A small “eco” lights up on the speedometer when the cylinders are not in use. The gas mileage is respectable for the amount of power, government regulators say this SUV will get 12 mpg city and 18 mpg highway.
Obviously, this vehicle is not for everyone. It starts at $54,470 and has race car grit. Some people won’t like that. But if you’re looking to compare it to similar SUV’s, good luck finding anything near this price. Dollar for dollar, it’s the best SUV built today.
Not only will it look good in your driveway; it performs as well,” states Steve Owen, Service Manager at Tunkhannock Auto Mart.
Imagine yourself sliding into the race inspired interior, gripping those paddle shifters, and driving off into your life’s adventure.
