Trailhawk concept introduction - March 2012 |
Already the most awarded SUV ever over its lifetime compared to any other SUV, the new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk concept takes the premium Jeep vehicle's legendary off-road prowess to a new level, while providing a one-of-a-kind, more aggressive visual punch sure to delight Jeep enthusiasts. Leading the off-road improvement are new 18-inch Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor off-road tires - chosen to provide even more aggressive off-road performance combined with quiet highway manners - that are wrapped around new painted 5-spoke alloy Mineral Gray wheels. Grand Cherokee Trailhawk's SilentArmor tires include additional side-wall protection that enhances durability and reduces road noise. Modified Mopar rock rails - engineered to fully protect the lower body from rugged rocky terrain - are included and add to the functional off-road capability. Visually, while the vehicle is featured in Stone White, a Mineral Gray and Red theme is highlighted throughout. Specifically, the grille surround, lower front applique, mirror caps and rear light bar join the wheels in Mineral Gray, while contrasting in eye-catching Red are the upper grille mesh, front and rear tow hooks, Jeep logos on wheel center caps and bolt holes in the alloy wheels. A Red trim line outlines a matte black hood applique that is utilized to reduce glare during technical off-road maneuvers. Other unique touches include black headlamp surrounds, black exterior front and rear badging, Red "Trail Rated" badges on the front fenders and a unique "Trailhawk" badge on the rear tailgate.
