Based on the BMW X7 SUV,Turbocharged V8 makes 612 horsepower.Retuned suspension.
PROS Thundering acceleration Impressive array of advanced driver aids Exclusivity of the Alpina badge
CONS Not enough differentiation from the BMW X7 Interior is cluttered with buttons Ride quality can suffer on less than perfect roads
The Alpina XB7 is as fast as it is luxurious and as practical as it is well equipped. The trouble is the same is true of the closely related BMW X7 M50i, which is significantly cheaper.
PROS Hugely fast Very spacious and practical Outstanding infotainment system
CONS Too similar to an X7 M50i Much more expensive than the M50i A lot of road noise
PROS Big, refined power; understated design; Decent ride comfort, even on big wheels.
CONS Awfully big and thirsty, unsettling stability-control interventions, priced for exclusivity.
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee impresses with style and performance, but lags behind in safety and fuel economy.
Pros Loads of style after all these years Plenty of powertrain options Capable off-road Trailhawk Five adults fit comfortably Hilarious 707-hp Trackhawk
Cons A $100,000 Jeep? Lackluster efficiency Subpar safety scores Aging interior
If it was good enough for 2019, it's good enough now: the 2020 Grand Cherokee SRT is unchanged.In a world where nothing succeeds like excess (and with apologies to Mr. Wilde), the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is just enough. Under its hood is a 475-hp V-8 that partners with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. With launch control, the SRT can rip from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. Aggressive bodywork, a sport-tuned suspension, and robust brakes help the SRT handle and brake well enough to make some sports cars jealous.
Pros Incredible acceleration, bold exterior design, more utility than SRT versions of the Dodge Charger or Challenger.
Cons Penchant for fuel, expensive, big-bro Trackhawk exists.
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT comes with four wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic,Optional diesel engine is no longer available
Pros Plush interior with plentiful luxury and technology Enough off-road ability to conquer practically any trail Available V8 engines offer substantial power Impressive tow ratings for the class
Cons Firm ride quality may disappoint, even with air suspension Underwhelming acceleration with base V6 Modest quality of cabin materials can be hard to justify
