The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is one fast SUV. The 6.1 liter V8 Hemi makes 420 horsepower and 420 torque so the SRT-8 Grand Cherokee has plenty of raw power. Standard features include 4×4 drivetrain mated to a 5 speed automatic transmission. No manual transmission is available for this quick sport utility vehicle.
If fuel economy is of any concern to you then forget about this GC. Many people have reported as low as 11mpg city and a measly 15 miles per gallon on the highway. You gotta pay to play-this is Dodge Viper city MPG territory but at least the Viper still gets up to 22mpg on the freeway. Expect repeated trips to the gas station if you have a lead foot.
A fully loaded 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee includes all the features you would expect when paying about 44k for a new vehicle including DVD Navigation and HID headlights (with the proper package selected). Current purchase incentives include the cash for clunkers used car trade in program, the sales tax credit for new cars purchased in 2009, $500 cash bonus allowance, and an amazing 0.0 % financing for up to 72 months!
