The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT pairs a naturally aspirated 6.4-liter V8 with four-wheel drive, an eight-speed automatic and performance hardware designed for fast road driving. It makes 475 hp and 470 lb-ft, but its 15-mpg EPA combined rating and firmer ride are important trade-offs. The prices below are historical 2021 figures, not current used-car values.

What is the 2021 Grand Cherokee SRT like to drive?

Car and Driver describes the SRT as a performance-focused SUV for buyers who prioritize road and track ability over trail use. Its review praises the V8’s sound and acceleration, the aggressive exterior, and the practicality and cabin comfort that remain part of the Grand Cherokee. It also finds the ride less compliant over potholes and rough surfaces. These are Car and Driver’s review assessments, not independent test findings presented here. Read Car and Driver’s 2021 review.

Car and Driver reports that its tested SRT reached 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. Jeep Canada’s 2021 article gives a 4.3-second claim. The figures come from different sources and should not be treated as a single independently verified result. Jeep Canada’s 2021 SRT article.

2021 SRT pricing: U.S. and Canada

Market and source Historical 2021 figure What it means
United States — Car and Driver $72,865 MSRP Model-year MSRP; not a current used-market valuation
Canada — The Car Guide CA$80,965 MSRP; CA$2,095 fees Canadian-market amounts; the page also lists a CA$3,000 gas-guzzler tax as informational

The U.S. figure is listed on Car and Driver’s 2021 specifications page. The Canadian figures are from The Car Guide’s Canadian-market listing. These amounts are in different currencies and should not be combined. Neither establishes what a used SRT costs now; any live vehicle listing needs its own year, mileage, condition, equipment and price checked. See The Car Guide’s 2021 Canadian specifications.

Photos and what to inspect

Jeep’s brochure provides exterior and cockpit imagery, while Jeep Canada’s article includes a grille close-up. Those sources can help identify styling and cabin features, but the available information does not establish image-republication rights. Confirm permission before reusing source images.

Who should consider the SRT?

The SRT makes sense for someone who wants V8 performance, strong acceleration and Grand Cherokee utility in one vehicle, and is willing to accept fuel consumption and a firmer ride. Car and Driver notes that the more powerful Trackhawk was a separate variant; it should not be confused with the SRT reviewed here.

  • 【Advanced 6-Layer System for Complete Vehicle Protection】 Engineered with a robust six-layer structure, the Coverlex car cover is built to deliver dependable, full-coverage defense. It features a durable PEVA exterior, a waterproof barrier, a reflective silver layer for sun protection, and a soft, thick cotton lining that is gentle on paint.

  • 【Practical Features for Secure Fit & Enhanced Safety】 For easy installation and a secure hold, the cover is designed with elasticized hems at both the front and rear. Four adjustable windproof straps attach firmly to the wheel rims, helping prevent the cover from shifting or blowing off in windy conditions.

A free storage bag is also included for convenient packing and transport.
  • 【Important Usage Tips】 To help protect your vehicle’s paint, ensure the car surface is clean and free from large debris before installing the cover. Avoid placing the cover on a wet vehicle to reduce the risk of paint damage. When installing, locate the logo and the “FRONT” label positioned at the bottom center to correctly identify the front and rear sides.

When comparing a used SRT with another performance SUV or a different Grand Cherokee trim, focus on engine output and acceleration, drive system and suspension or brake hardware, fuel economy, ride comfort, and the exact model year and condition. The available sources establish SRT specifications and review trade-offs, but do not provide a complete same-year competitor comparison.
