IF YOU asked someone with a casual knowledge of cars, which is the most powerful SUV on sale in Australia, chances are you might get answers like Mercedes-AMG, Land Rover, Bentley or even Lamborghini.
However, they would be wrong. The award goes to Jeep with its monstrous Grand Cherokee Trackhawk that packs 522kW/868Nm of brash, American V8 muscle under its bonnet.
The Trackhawk is a huge statement from the brand, one that shows it can mix it with the best performance SUVs Europe has to offer, while maintaining its reputation as an industry-leading off-road marque.
Its performance figures are certainly impressive on paper, but how does 522kW worth of supercharged V8 translate to real-world driving?
