In its fifth generation avatar, the Jeep Grand Cherokee boasts an excellent balance of rugged and premium-ness that can rejuvenate the adrenaline of any automobile enthusiast in a moment. It looks sleek & sharp, with its front fascia adorned by the chrome-tinted Jeep’s traditional seven-slot grille.

The flagship SUV will also benefit from the brand’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) which should include active safety features like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, front collision avoidance aid, and emergency braking.
Coming to the mechanical setup, the India-spec Grand Cherokee will be powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine mated to an 8-speed automated transmission, transmitting power to all four wheels. It will also get Jeep’s Selec Terrain off-road management system that comprises various modes like Auto, Sport, Mud/Sand and Snow for off-roading.
