Jeep launches new 'Trail Rated' 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk

Jeep is enhancing the popular Cherokee range with the introduction to the UK of the first 'Trail Rated' version, the Trailhawk.

The most capable Jeep Cherokee model available, and the most accomplished mid-size SUV in the segment, the 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk
comes with a 3.2-litre V6 petrol engine and a nine-speed automatic gearbox. Fully off-road capable, the Trailhawk is fitted with a low-range transmission including Jeep's Selec-Terrain with Rock mode.

The 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with the standard off-road package is Trail Rated. Its 'Trail Rated' badge indicates that the vehicle is designed to perform in a variety of challenging off-road conditions identified by five key consumer-oriented performance categories: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording.

Venturing off the beaten track is no problem for the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Its Active Drive Lock 4x4 system features a rear lock which keeps both wheels spinning at the same speed for enhanced traction on any surface, and is particularly useful when rock crawling. The car also features Selec-Speed control, which allows it to drive up or down demanding hills at controlled, steady speeds in complete confidence and safety.

Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk exemplifies all this 4x4 capability with a distinctive, no-nonsense look, backed up by Jeep Trail Rated equipment. It includes, as standard equipment, aggressive approach and departure angles with unique front and rear fascias, a one-inch factory lift, fuel tank, front suspension and transmission skid plates and signature red tow hooks. The car has an approach angle of 29.8-degrees, a departure angle of 32.1-degrees and break-over angle of 22.9-degrees. Running ground clearance is 22.1 cm (8.7-inch).

Other excellent features to make owning the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk a pleasure include deep tinted sunscreen glass, a unique black bonnet sticker (from March), coloured grille surrounds and roof rails, off-road wheel flares and 17-inch aluminium wheels.

Inside the standard equipment continues with Nappa Leather trim, red interior stitching accents, all-season floor mats, a cargo net, Uconnect media centre with 8.4-inch touch screen display and USB remote port.

Powered by a 3,239 cc, 24-valve V6 petrol engine delivering 268 bhp and 315 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm, the 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk costs £34,245 (OTR) - available on Jeep's special order programme. A host of options includes special paints, Uconnect-Navigation, wireless charging pad for mobile phone, Park Assist and full sunroof (powered front, fixed rear).
