The Grand Cherokee will be offered in two variants – Grand Cherokee Limited and Grand Cherokee Summit. Both will have a similar exterior appearance with some minor differences. Both the variants come equipped with Bi-Xenon headlamps with distinctive Jeep daytime running headlamps.

The rear of the Grand Cherokee offers large tail-lamps with signature LED lighting, a rear aerodynamic spoiler and a wide window in the tailgate for greater rear visibility. The Summit variant will be fitted with 20-inch alloys whereas the Limited variant will have 18-inch alloys.Both the Grand Cherokee Limited and Summit are powered with a 3.0L CRD Turbo V6 Diesel engine generating an exhilarating power of 240 HP and 570 NM of torque.

The Grand Cherokee SRT is longer and wider as compared to the Grand Cherokee but in terms of height it is shorter to give a sporty feel to the car. The Grand Cherokee SRT bears a 6.4L 470-hp HEMI V8 engine that feeds a Quadra-Trac Active On-Demand 4WD system. An eight-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters helps drivers go full throttle on the track, to reach a hair-raising top speed of 258 kmph.

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited comes with a 2.8L CRD Turbo Diesel DOHC I-4 engine powering the wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission. It’s capable of tackling rough off-road terrain with its Command-Trac Shift-On-The-Fly 4WD. Hill Start Assist (HAS) and Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) ensures that drivers are gripped to the road.
