Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 reaches 60 mph in 4.79 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.35 s, tripping the lights at 103.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.10 s and the eighth mile in 8.60 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.12 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Grand Cherokee SRT8

The 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,180 kg with 420 bhp, which works out at 193 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.10 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,270th quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 2 Jeeps here. Its 103.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
