Planning to get the Jeep Grand Cherokee? This piece of news is just for you. As per reports, Jeep has increased the prices of its flagship model in India, the Grand Cherokee. The SUV has gotten pricey by INR 1 lakh. Customers can have the SUV with a sole 272 HP, 2.0-litre petrol engine and a single trim. After the hike, the prices for the SUV now start at INR 78.50 lakh. Talking of the other options in the segment we have a long list. This includes Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5, Audi Q7, Jaguar F-Pace and Range Rover Velar.
As mentioned, the India-spec Grand Cherokee continues with the 272 HP, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. The customers get to use the eight-speed automatic transmission. The manual gearbox is not available with the Grand Cherokee. Power is sent to all four wheels and the Grand Cherokee also benefits from selectable terrain modes. This includes Auto, Sport, Mud/Sand and Snow. Interestingly enough, the Grand Cherokee is one of the few cars in the segment to get exclusively a petrol engine only.
The Grand Cherokee design is of a typical Jeep family. With the updated model a lot has changed. But still, it retails the typically recognisable Grand Cherokee outlook. On the inside, we get to see a 10.1-inch passenger-side screen along with the 10.1-inch screen for the touchscreen infotainment. The Grand Cherokee comes only as a 5-seater. And thus, the Indian market misses out on the three-row version known as the Grand Cherokee L, sold in international markets. In terms of features, the Grand Cherokee is pretty much up there. Key features include, heads-up display, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, ADAS tech and eight airbags.
