Jeep unleashes HEMI-powered 152mph Cherokee for UK

Newswheel staff :: 06 July 2006 :: Filed under SUV, Jeep, Europe & UK

Love ‘em or loathe ‘em, SUVs with monster motors are increasingly popular with prosperous punters. So, it was surely only a matter of time before Chrysler’s 4x4 subsidiary Jeep got the HEMI-branded 6.1-litre V8 treatment. Today, Chrysler UK boss Peter Lambert duly announced the HEMI-powered Grand Cherokee SRT-8. The order books are already open and above all else Jeep wants you to fathom the following factoids: The SRT-8 is both quicker and massively cheaper than a Porsche Cayenne Turbo…

2007 Wrangler: Familiar style, new form factor

The new Wrangler not only retains the off-road cred of its iconic predecesors, but also their crude but effective solid axles, front and rear.

Wrangler doubles up

Following the Jeep Gladiator concept shown at Detroit early this year, rumour had it the next-gen Wrangler would be considerably wider and longer than the existing model. Most significantly, it was suggested a four-door model would join the line up for the first time. Judging by these heavy-disguise, body-clad spyshots, rumour had it just right.
