This is owing to the solid suspension and high ground clearance, which makes this SUV the best on any road condition.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee price is estimated to be in the range of Rs. 40 lakh, but this can be possible if these SUVs are assembled locally. Otherwise, with the increased excise duty implemented by the Indian government recently on CBU’s, the Jeep Grand Cherokee will cost a fortune.

It is expected to be bestowed with a set of massive 5-spoke, 20 inch alloy wheels that adorn the trapezoidal wheel arches, dual exhaust pipes at the rear, a large bumper and a bold and aggressive 7-slot radiator grille flanked with a big and radiant headlamp cluster, which enhances the front facade of this remarkable SUV. The LED daytime running lights, lift-gate spoiler and the chrome inserts are adding to the flamboyance of this polished Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The other significant comfort features that might be incorporated are a top of the line 825 watt music system of Harman Kardon with 19 speakers and a sub-woofer. There are also speculations that this SUV will also have savvy hi-tech features such as sunroof, navigation system with a luminous touch screen, Bluetooth connectivity with voice control and many more multimedia, infotainment and connectivity features. If these features are incorporated in the Indian version of the SUV, then this Jeep Grand Cherokee is definitely going to become the most desirable SUV in the country’s car market. The interiors are also likely to get a stylish dashboard with top quality material all over. The standard features are anticipated to be automatic head lamps, fog lamps, back up camera, touch screen interface, keyless entry, cruise control and remote engine start.

Under the hood, this strapping SUV has a massive 6.4 litre, 8 cylinder engine with a whopping 468Hp and a hammering 624Nm of torque, which is fitted in its global versions.
