Jeep may release high-performance SRT versions of the Cherokee and Renegade models, according to comments from Jeep CEO Mike Manley.
“I think if you look at Cherokee, there’s styling there, and even to some extent Renegade there’s opportunity for us to make sure there is a sport version available,” Manley told CarAdvice at the Paris Motor Show.

Currently the SRT version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is the most popular Chrysler model that wears the SRT badge, so sales could be even higher for a smaller version in the form of a Cherokee SRT.

Chrysler also recently trademarked the “Trackhawk” name, which also hints at either a revised name for the Grand Cherokee SRT or another performance variant for the Jeep brand.
