The Jeep Grand Cherokee is getting closer to being replaced but that hasn’t stopped Jeep from making a few minor updates to the flagship, fire-breathing Trackhawk.
As part of a late 2020 update, it’s picked up Laguna leather upholstery and matching door trim as standard. The leather is available in either black, or black and Ski Grey.
The Trackhawk also features lightweight black 20-inch forged alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero 3 Season tyres.
Jeep claims the update represents an additional $13,000 of value for just $5000 more, with the Trackhawk’s price rising to $139,950 before on-road costs.
Additionally, the 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system remains the same size but is now flush-mounted for a cleaner, more modern look.
