Jeep has revealed details of its upcoming offering, the Grand Cherokee, on its Indian website. As per the update, the Grand Cherokee will go on sale in three trims – Limited, Summit and the high-performance SRT.
The Limited and Summit variants draw power from a 240hp, 3.0-litre V6 diesel motor paired to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Instead of the diesel unit, the high-performance SRT gets a 475hp, 6.4-litre Hemi V8 petrol motor which also comes paired to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. All three variants come with a four-wheel-drive system, with the SRT additionally getting Brembo high-performance brakes and active damping suspension.
The entry-level Limited variant for India is set to feature electric-adjust front seats with memory, heated front and middle row seats, heated steering, tyre pressure monitoring system, a 5.0-inch UConnect touchscreen infotainment system with voice command, automatic bi-xenon headlamps, powered tailgate, exterior mirrors with memory and heating, a terrain selection system for off-roading, rear parking camera and a host of safety equipment like airbags, ESC and traction control.
In addition to the features on the Limited trim, the Summit variant also gets ventilated front seats, power adjust steering, an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a 506W amplifier and an optional 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, satellite navigation, individual rear seat displays, panoramic sunroof and a rear limited-slip differential.
In the high-performance SRT, the 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system is standard, while it is offered as an option in the Summit trim. Additionally, the car’s all-wheel-drive system is customised to improve on-road performance unlike its lower variants, and also gets launch control and a track mode. The variant, however, misses out on the panoramic sunroof and hill descent control.
When launched, all three variants of the Grand Cherokee are expected to come with a two-year unlimited kilometre warranty.
