The brand offered it exclusively with its 2.0-liter four-cylinder plug-in hybrid, but Stellantis announced earlier this year it would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/783942\/stellantis-chrysler-jeep-plug-in-hybrids-discontinued\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22783942%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22stellantis-chrysler-jeep-plug-in-hybrids-discontinued%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">killing its PHEVs<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The teaser image doesn\u2019t reveal much, but a pair of red tow hooks is visible poking through the lower bumper, which appears more aggressive than what\u2019s available now on the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/jeep\/grand-cherokee\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"1\" data-params=\"%7B%22make_alias%22%3A%22jeep%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22grand-cherokee%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Cherokee<\/a>. \u00a0There are also red stripes on the hood that read &#8220;Trailhawk.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the plug-in powertrain dead, we expect the new Trailhawk will utilize the Grand Cherokee\u2019s new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder Hurricane engine.
