The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Is No Match For A Tesla Model X
Here it is, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk drag race you’ve all been waiting for. Yep, Jeep’s Hellcat-engined brute can be seen in this DragTimes video going head-to-head with a Tesla Model X P100D. In four races, no less.
Each of them plays out pretty much as you’d expect - the vehicles aren’t far off each other in terms of weight, but the Model X has the edge when it comes to power. Factor in the instant torque delivery of electric motors, and the Tesla is able to easily beat the Jeep in each of the four races. In fact, according to DragTimes, the quickest run of 11.2 seconds at 118mph crowns the Model X as the world’s fastest production SUV.
But with a best time of 11.9 seconds at 113mph, the Cherokee is still incredibly fast considering the kind of car it is. And in any case, we’d happily sacrifice a little straight-line speed for that supercharged V8 noise…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I haven’t headed over there yet, but something tells me that the YouTube comments are going to be an absolute shit show.
Tesla won a drag race.
In other news: Water is wet.
Ludicrous mode can only be used in a few situations.
V8 noise, however, can be used EVERYWHERE.
god damn that fancy-pants brand known as Tesla.
I hope it gets burned down someday.
Wow, an electric SUV beat an ICE SUV no surprise there…
What’s the point of either of these? I mean I like both (the Tesla more than the Jeep) but I honestly don’t see a point in either, why not have a fast estate car or super saloon instead?
87k $ vs 140k $ starting price. Not much more to say.
Its always a good sign when a drag race video is 10 minutes long….
I still would go for the jeep espacially if i can use the money i saved on performance as a hellcat engine can get a few more horses out of it
Id still take the Jeep
