At the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Jeep brand showcases the reveal of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT White Edition limited-edition model offered exclusively in a Bright White exterior color. The new SRT White Edition model adds black distinctive styling cues and black accents to the sporty, performance-oriented design of the Grand Cherokee SRT model and delivers an aggressive appearance to the unique personality of the Jeep supercar.

The distinctive exterior look of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT White Edition model features a gloss-black grille surround and a black mesh grille texture. The "blacked-out" theme continues throughout the vehicle's exterior, highlighting the Jeep logo on the hood and the badge on the front door. The new SRT White Edition model rides on extreme 20-inch tires that surround one-of-a-kind Black Vapor Chrome, five-spoke alloy wheels featuring a chromed center cap and chromed inserts. Additional exclusive details, such as a gloss-black liftgate light bar, gloss-black rear step pad and rear SRT badge with Black flag, complete the unique appearance of the new special-edition model.

The interior of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT White Edition model features a leather-wrapped perforated heated steering wheel with mounted paddle shifters and ventilated sports-styled Nappa leather and suede seats with sculpted bolsters and adjustable active front head restraints. Real carbon-fiber accents are integrated into the instrument panel and door trim panels. All these features combine with bright, racing-style brake and pedal pads in order to enhance the theme inside the cabin.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT White Edition model is powered by the 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine with Fuel Saver Technology that turns off four of the eight cylinders when full power is not required to ensure increased fuel economy and reduced overall emissions. The powerful HEMI V-8 powertrain delivers 468 horsepower (344 kW) and 624 N-m of torque and is mated to a proven five-speed automatic transmission featuring both steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and Auto Stick on the floor. Thanks to the powerful 6.4-liter HEMI engine, the new SRT White Edition model achieves benchmark performance: 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds, top speed of 257 km/h and 100-0 km/h braking distance in 35 meters.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT White Edition model offers outstanding ride and on-road handling, ensured by the new SRT-tuned adaptive damping suspension, managed by the Jeep Selec-Track system with five dynamic modes. This system interacts with several different systems (for example, stability control and active damping) in order to automatically tune the dynamics of the vehicle according to customers' habits and driving conditions.

Drivers can manually choose between five dynamic modes for specific driving conditions:

• Auto: provides the most compliant ride and automatically adapts to any road situation using the active suspension tuning
• Sport: provides enhanced body control for a sporty, fun-to-drive ride for the street
• Tow: provides a safe reduction in pitch and bounce for enhanced towing capability
• Track: provides the high-performance, firm "track-tuned" suspension option to lock down body motion for the ultimate handling experience
• Snow: provides the most conservative dynamic mode, so the vehicle will safely stay in line in inclement winter weather conditions

The Jeep brand's capability to master any driving condition even on poor-grip surfaces is delivered by the Quadra-Trac active, on-demand four-wheel-drive transfer case with rear Electronic Limited-slip Differential (ELSD). The extraordinary stopping power that characterizes all SRT-badged vehicles comes courtesy of SRT high-performance Brembo brakes with a four-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS).

Standard equipment on the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT White Edition model provides a full line of technologically advanced features to enhance on-board comfort and infotainment for all occupants, including Command View dual-pane sunroof; Uconnect multi-media infotainment and navigation system with voice-activated Bluethooth UConnect Phone; cutting-edge 825-watt, 19-speaker premium audio surround-sound system with subwoofer from Harman Kardon; Adaptive Cruise Control and innovative safety systems such as Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Path detection.
