The new SUV could adopt the historical Maserati HEMI V8 engine with a displacement of 6.4. So in addition to the skeleton, the frame of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, also the heart of the car would be American. The "eight-vu" might even be the same as the sports version of the SRT8 SUVs overseas: if no specific changes made, deliver 465 hp.
This would seem to contradict destabilizing indiscretion when Marchionne said about the '"Ferrari origin" of the engine dedicated to leading the Trident SUV. The decision to adopt the HEMI would be taken, according to the source dell'indiscrezione, to further reduce production costs and raise profits from the sale of the vehicle.
Under the hood of the Sport Utility of the Italian brand should also finish the 3.0 V6 turbo diesel 250 bhp and 550 Nm of torque Fiat-derived VM.
Very likely even the arrival of a twin-turbo version of that engine well capable of 320 hp, a power that would make it the most powerful in its class. It seems that Fiat has officially approved a plan to launch this new variant of the V6 diesel on the most prestigious brands of the group to start from Maserati.
The debut is still scheduled for next year.
