FCA introduces new Jeep Grand Cherokee petrol

FCA India has launched the ‘petrol’ version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee in India at Rs 75.15 lakh (exshowroom, New Delhi). The company has also announced upgrades in the entire range of luxury SUVs along with new prices, thereby offering more value to the Indian customers.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit (Petrol), the latest addition to the Jeep range of SUVs, is powered by the award-winning 289.6 PS, 347 Nm, 3.6-litre Pentastar engine, married to an upgraded eight-speed paddle shift automatic transmission.

The ‘Gen II’ automatic transmission is engineered to deliver improved overall performance resulting in less drag on the clutches. Its optimised lubrication has improved clutch durability, shift response, consistency enabling smoother quality downshifts.

Besides the Gen II automatic transmission, the Grand Cherokee’s Limited and Summit variants now get the new 75th Anniversary fascia with enhanced ‘billetlike’ plating on the grille slots while the SRT gets upper and lower cooling intakes on the front fascia.
