Running Jeep's Quadra-Drive II four-wheel drive system, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk features an electronic limited-slip rear differential "for all powertrains," according to the brand, with a Fiat Chrysler Canada spokesperson confirming that the 3.0-litre V6 EcoDiesel engine will be available under the hood.
Elsewhere, the Trailhawk boasts a unique version of the Grand Cherokee's Quadra-Lift air suspension developed specifically for the trim, hill ascent and descent control, and skid plates to protect the underbody.
Finishing off the look outside are red tow hooks front and rear, while black leather and suede seats with red accent stitching adorn the interior.
The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk will be available in red, silver, white, grey and black.
