    Next Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk To Be Electrified

    Jeep boss worldwide, Christian Meunier has revealed that the future flagship SRT and Trackhawk versions of the next Jeep Grand Cherokee may make the switch to high-performance hybrid setups.

    At this stage, the V8’s will not be retired because of stricter emissions but the current 6.2-litre Hellcat supercharged V8 engine (and others like it) used in top-end Jeep and Dodge models are on the way out.

    “The days of of an iron-block supercharged 6.2-litre V8 are numbered” said Dodge chief Tom Kuniskis.

    “They’re absolutely numbered because of all the compliance costs. But the performance that those vehicles generate is not numbered,” he said.

    “Electrification is not boring, it’s exciting. I won’t give you more details than that but I think the sky is the limit with electrification. We can do a lot of different things, and really exciting things that would meet the [high-performance] Jeep DNA, if you know what I mean.” said Meunier.

    So what will be used as opposed to the 6.2-litre mentioned above? A safe bet would be a hybridised 5.7-litre HEMI V8.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
