    And it moves well too when you want to press on. Acceleration comes in strongly and there is a smooth and consistent shove, as it keeps pulling hard all the way past 180kph. Despite its soft springing, the dampers do a fantastic job, checking the body as it rises over crests or sinks into dips. There's surprisingly good grip and even a fair amount of feel through the steering.

    The Cherokee will come to India via Fiat, which owns Chrysler. Despite its American origins, this diesel version feels like it is well suited to the Indian market. Interior plastic quality aside, it is comfortable, spacious, refined, adequately powerful, and it even drives well. That it looks like a million dollars, sweetens the deal even more. As long as Fiat prices it competitively, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee could start Jeep's innings in India on a positive note. This is, after all, one of the world's most awarded SUVs.
