Notably, the car has been given red 'Trail Rated' badges on its flanks to highlight its capabilities where the tarmac ends and nature's unpredictability begins. And in the event that Mother Nature prevails against Jeep's engineering prowess, the car has three red tow hooks (two in the front, one at the rear) for reinforcements to lend assistance to. Making way for this, the front and rear overhangs have been shortened, a change that also helps improve its ascent and decent angles.

The dashboard resembles the one in the Cherokee Limited's On the inside though, the interior layout and features remain largely unchanged. Instead of leather, the upholstery in the Trailhawk features a fabric and leather combination with 'Trailhawk' embroidery. As 'sportier' siblings usually are, the interior finish receives an added zing-red contrast stitching.While the Trailhawk has been primed for more adventurous pursuits off the straight and narrow, there is little (if any) perceptible difference in the way it drives on the road. Like the Cherokee Limited, the Trailhawk maintains the same 2.4-litre Tigershark engine with 174bhp and 229Nm of torque.While the ZF-sourced nine-speed autobox works smoothly to get the car up to speed, it isn't the quickest or most responsive when you're in a hurry. And if you must know, the car gets from nought to 100km/h in a leisurely 10.6 seconds (compared to the Limited's 10.5 seconds) before topping out at 175km/h. Good to be informed, although you wouldn't actually be pushing this car to such limits.headlight
