It's nuts.

Thanks for watching, and I agree.

Thanks, Malcolm!

At least the warranty is a bit longer these days... but yes.

Simon Wright absolutely right my friend... they could make it 10 yrs warranty and it would still have issues after that. Open disclosure I have the WK2 Laredo 4x4 ( this was the model in ‘13 that the track hawk pictured here copies her looks from) the car on day 01 had issues with the ZF8 which have not or will not be fixed. The cost to conduct servicing I might as well have bought something exclusive (1K services aplenty)and before you complain my car in 5 yrs of owner ship has done less than 40K (but I am paying for the 100k service )

Very unique and cool.

Thanks for subscribing, and glad you are enjoying your JGC.

Visually, they're sleepers, especially in this grey colour. The sound is the giveaway. Thanks for watching, again!

You get the feeling of being an American F the AEROdynamics

Those pipes make a mean sound...

Thanks for watching and your kind comments - agree on the build quality.

I love the price tag compared to the competition

Thanks, mate. And a good point you make about just how much expensive German metal is leased…

Will give it a shot if they’ll give me one.

its more like $140k mate! but still worth it 🤪

They're shockingly fast!

@@chasingcars i didnt even realise they existed in NZ - when i got home i had to go to the Jeep Nz website and find out what this Cherokee with yellow brake calipers was?!

Stephen D the new ones are even bigger ‘heartbreakers’ #runaway

Yeah you're dead on with the 6 year mark. I've got a 2014 Grand Cherokee and it's had reliability issues right from the word go. O2 sensors, weak lifters, dash lights up like a Christmas tree.

Absolutely, will see if they have any cars on fleet.

Wash your hands!!

We’ll see. I’m hopeful. They say they want to make a full turnaround in Australia.

End of the day, it's a Jeep. Reliable as a pair of shoes with holes in torrential weather

@@slyarsenal I would disagree , I am on my 5th grand Cherokee in 8 years and yet to find any major issue that make me regret. Every brand of cars have faults and defects .

@@ILovJeep haha 5th Cherokee. So how do you know what's better?

@@slyarsenal this is not my only brand of cars 😂- and why change when they worked and working as expected. I only owned the grand Cherokee series , from Laredo , trailhawk , SRT to now Trackhawk. Also owned Suzuki, Honda , Toyotas , Chevrolet , Chrysler , bmw , AMG C63s , VW, Nissan and apart from the chevrolet( known back then as Opel) been lucky with all the others .

@@ILovJeep Is that all? Haha

Prob not enough demand in rhd spec to make it worth while?

Yep, will look into that for you.

Driving the SRT soon so will be able to better answer that!

Chasing Cars looking forward to that as my current SRT has been great over past 3 years with no issues apart from sticky power window switch replaced under warranty and high cost of consumables (brakes, tyres and fuel) which all fade away when you hit that starter button.

Rooster 1717 the Trackhawk is a significant step up. I had both, traded the srt within 6months after test driving the hawk.

Trackhawk tax $22000 more than srt8 why the big price difference . In USA The price difference is 27000usd . USA doesn't have federal consumption tax = no tax on the retail price

This design dates back to 2011 originally. We expect the new model next year in 2021.

Everyone carries on how old this design is, most cars now will run around 10 12 years before they do major updates, look at the Landcruiser 200 series over 13 years old. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is selling like hot cakes in the US, so the old saying is, when you are on a good thing stick to it.

Bummer… good pickup. Sorry about that.

Jeep dealers

About $145-150k AUD on road. As for fuel economy, it’s you-don’t-want-to-know. About 30L/100km. Worse when you’re really getting stuck into it.

Chasing Cars is this the 2020 Trackhawk price? Or is this the 2018?

Didn’t the Chrysler side of Daimler make the Benzes less reliable?

@@chasingcars not too sure but modern mercedes aren't really mercedes anymore(not a cut above everything else)

Windy day, not much choice

Yeah, agreed the seats aren’t particularly supportive.

@@chasingcars Really don't know how and what they were thinking.... "yeah, let's build a super SUV and put in grandpa's 70's busted armchair with soft cushing and leather with bunch of holes in it....." :) :) :) . Anyway, nice review Tom!

This is an Australian video and the Australian 2020 model

@@chasingcars that's a 2018. I checked Carsales and jeep.com.au, and Carsales said that the newest is 2018 and jeep.com.au doesn't have Trackhawk in its pricing section anymore.

I bet you feel disappointed by the lack of response to your lame comment. You were hoping to get Jeep lovers to curse you out? But you’re very existence has proven to not be worth any other persons effort. Sadly, this is probably similar to your real in-person life. Otherwise you wouldn’t have turned to KZfaq for attention. Bet you think about how dying alone someday is really gonna suck.

Lol- the same interior material you will find in porche cayenne, Alfa and Maserati levante. Yes, I test drove all and couldn’t justify their hefty price tag and they all drove almost the same. In terms of fine finish, one can’t expect that from Jeep- but then where you get it, you aren’t getting that for free- you are paying over the top for it.

JEEP & Harley Davidson Adventures, Australia - You spelled Porsche incorrectly. As a journalist, you should fix that. It’s a pet peeve of mine when so called journalist and bloggers who should have some sort of educational degree in literature or writing have poor grammar unless they are automotive engineers turned writers. But still, in the day and age of autocorrect, it should be better. Looking past that, I disagree that they all drive about the same. Although I have not driven the Maserati, I have driven the Jeep, Alpha Romeo and the Porsche. If you are truly an automotive expert and not a novice, you can feel and tell the difference. My opinion is no better than yours, but I believe that the Alfa Romeo and Jeep share a similar choppy and slightly unsettled ride. The more upscale and high priced Porsche Cayenne has a much better ride and feels more stable and less than perfect pavement. I agree with you that it comes at a different price point that is to be expected. Having leased a Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit and a Porsche Macan Turbo back to back for two years each, I believe that the Porsche is built with better materials and its long term fit and finish is apparent over time with less creaks and rattles in the interior at the end of 20K miles in two years. Better material isn’t always felt. It’s also what’s underneath. High tensile strength steel versus mild steel and things like carbon fiber versus fiberglass or plastic are good examples of materials that you don’t feel inside the cabin of a vehicle that make the difference any vehicles strength and rigidity that affect the ride and handling. Higher quality insulation means that thinner insulation can be used which would increase interior or cabin space without increasing the size of the vehicle. You don’t find things like that on lower cost vehicles. As a journalist, you should consider these things and maybe objectively inform your readers. Let people form their own opinions based on facts and not just your opinion and personal feelings of a product. That is the difference between your review and quality journalism. And for the record, for personal reasons I prefer the Jeep Grand Cherokee line over the competitors that you have mentioned in your response. My next vehicle will be a 2019 Cadillac CTS-V (if I can find a new unsold stock in the United States) or a Jeep Grand Cherokee Track hawk if I can’t find a CTS-V in two months when my current lease is up.

Lotta engine, but yes, I agree, it's hugely expensive

Not compared to the competition, and only being slower than a Tesla Model X Performance and Lamborghini Urus.
