2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night Edition REVIEW | Rock-Crushing Performance Meets Family SUV
THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT IS THE AUTOMOTIVE EQUIVALENT OF BRUCE BANNER IN HULK MODE - JUST A NORMAL EVERYDAY SUV TRANSFORMED INTO A SNORTING, SNARLING BEAST.
With the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night Edition, the visual package has been given the once-over with black exterior accents, a set of satin-black wheels and Brembo brake hardware.
Refined and brutal at the same time, the Grand Cherokee SRT Night occupies a space that only much more expensive high-performance SUVs from Europe dare occupy.

OVERVIEW
When it comes to high-performance SUVs, you might be inclined to think of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, and maybe even Range Rover, but to put your family into one of those requires a shockingly high entry ticket.
Leave it to America then to offer the same kind of brutal performance at a much lower price tag, with off-road specialist Jeep applying the Street and Racing Technology treatment to the Grand Cherokee.
