Based on the past month or so of automotive media coverage, Chrysler builds just two cars: the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and its equally horsepower-endowed four-door sibling, theCharger SRT Hellcat. This is not, in fact, true—Chrysler still makes Chryslers, Rams, Fiats, Alfa Romeos, and, of course, Jeeps. And one of those Jeeps, the Grand Cherokee SRT, has received a mild slew of updates for 2015 despite having been given a midcycle refresh just last year.

We’ll get it out of the way right now: There is not a 707-hp, Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee. Not yet, anyway. But the GC SRT’s 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 moves incrementally closer to that pie-in-the-sky output figure. Horsepower and torque peaks increase by 5 each, for new totals of 475 ponies and 470 lb-ft of torque. Even though we doubt that the minor output bump will drastically alter the Grand Cherokee SRT’s performance—the 2014 model we tested nailed 60 mph in 4.6 seconds—higher numbers are always welcome.Otherwise, Jeep has added active noise-canceling technology, which uses the audio speakers to selectively damp ambient noise, and made available a new “Red Vapor” special-edition appearance package. Offered with just three exterior colors—Redline Red Pearl, Brilliant Black Crystal, and Bright White—the $3995 Red Vapor kit includes 20-inch black-chrome five-spoke wheels, black-painted badges and grille inserts, a dark-red “engine beauty cover,” and a back-lit SRT logo for the steering wheel. Pricing for the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT barely budges, the $65,390 base price being just $15 higher than last year.
