Jeep Grand Cherokee test drive since 2010 SUV
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is no longer afraid of "lying policemen"
This is the most powerful and fastest car that Jeep has ever produced ... I drove up to the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT to the intersection and, stopping at the traffic lights, noticed some flicker on the right.
It turned out that a strip neighbor on the BMW series M opened the window, gives me friendly signs and says something. He took me for his own. I wanted to spread a couple of phrases about acceleration. There are no other topics of the owners of Emka and SRT. The conversation did not go out to the speed, I am indifferent. Well, in fact, what's the point of overtaking the student on Subaru in the dragon under Zelenograd? Then boast in front of the BMW driver? Stupid. What is the point in SRT? Why does this car exist? What is its purpose? At first glance, this is really a material basis for the conversation of two children in the bar. But recently, such conversations have passed into the category of virtual ones, since there is nowhere to accelerate today and talk more about potential than about practice. This is approximately like a conversation between two astronauts who have never visited near -Earth orbit, but have passed a full cycle of training and having a medal for this. 
No less. Acceleration of 5 seconds to a hundred is still cool, but some competitors have already crossed this border 
On the bottom. The main difference in the appearance of the charged version of Jeep from a simple is the lower spoiler of the shorts B ... Who serves SRT: God or the Devil? It seems that the answer is obvious: it is packed with medium -sized hand demons ... Yes. Naturally. But who stuffed them there? Paradise for them in the engine compartment or, sorry for the pun, hell? For example, in Porsche Cayenne and Mercedes Ml Amg, angels pushed demons, and therefore they have life there, as in a colony of strict regime. Everyone walks on a string. And the demons at the Grand Cherokee SRT seemed to have driven more authoritative demons. Therefore, the orders are simpler, all kinds of liberties are possible, cell phones, chiprek ... It is from this angle that it is worth looking at the new SRT. It is not categorical and not ultimate, no soldiers and perfectionism. The phrases easily fall in his mouth: fine, Gregory is fine, Konstantin and relax, here all his own. You look at his Falshkarbon in the cabin, and immediately it’s easy at heart: we are all not angels. Looking at the seats and remember: where could I see the same? In the BILINGUA club! There, a jolly -colored bomb with a liter bottle of tequila in his hands walks between the tables and sells 200 rubles from his hands right from his hands. For the scale. Here are the shorts of this winch of the marketing trap and went to the finish of the American. 
- Security. Since Brembo calipers are red, this allows you to reduce the braking distance from 100 km/h to 35 meters - honey. The only innovation added according to the greens is a house for bees 
The struggle for a place. The volumetric eight -cylinder engine squeezed out the battery from the engine compartment to the wing 
Associations. Did the skin go to the seats, this car is packed with a wraply wrap of the harlot? Undoubtedly. However, his demons are in a relaxed state and are therefore nonsense. The demon from Porsche Cayenne is ready to bite you, and the devil from Grand Cherokee is only arranging a small affair. Despite the frantic acceleration, which seems to be obliged to discipline the chassis, SRT remains truly American. At speed, you turn the steering wheel and ... it is not clear how you find yourself in a different row. Direct communication with the wheels is not noticeable. But he is gently, for the lying policemen, which is a rarity for a sports car. And by the way, they do not catch their belly, unlike the previous version. But back to the main question: meaning? Do you need a power of 460 horsepower, a 6.4 -liter motor and acceleration of 5 seconds to 100 km/h? Here, a well -known aphorism comes to the rescue: why do we need money? To spend? No, they are designed to lie in their pockets and create a sense of confidence. In my opinion, an exhaustive answer and to the automobile question too. 
You look at his Falshkarbon in the cabin and immediately easy at heart: we are all not angels. Looking at the seats and remember: where could I see this? 
Sport. It’s a pity that we have little tracks. But it would be in abundance, did anyone buy a sports SUV then? Technical features of the new Grand Cherokee SRT engine are 0.3 liters, 43 liters. with. And 55 nm more than the previous generation V8. 90% of the torque is available in the range from 2800 to 6000 RID/min. Thanks to the automatic shutdown technology of four cylinders, when high power is not required from the engine, acceptable fuel saving is achieved. The motor is aggregated with a five -speed automatic gearbox, which can be controlled using steering wheel switches. New brake calipers of Brembo six -cylinder at front and four -cylinder in the back plus ventilated brakes with a diameter of 38 cm in front and 35 cm in the back provide a braking distance of 35 m at an initial speed of 100 km/h. The suspension is adaptive, with the possibility of active control of damping and special SRT settings. The Jeep Selec-Track off-road system has five modes: sports, track, snow, car and towing. The road clearance of the SRT version is reduced by 30 mm. Standard equipment includes 20-inch alloy wheels.
