Jeep Grand Cherokee launching late 2013

Expected: End of 2013, Price: Rs. 60-70 lakh

Now in its fourth generation the Grand Cherokee has received a lot of updates for its years ahead and once again presents SUV enthusiasts with a brilliant mix of classic styling coupled with the advantages of modern design and technology. 

There’s also that signature seven-slot grille, round headlamps and trapezoidal wheel arches all of which come together to give the Cherokee a very distinct and macho SUV look. Comfortable seating for five and optionally for seven people is courtesy the large plush seat which is designed for plus sized American passengers. 

Standard equipment on the Cherokee includes automatic headlights, foglamps, cruise control, dual-zone air-conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack. 

An optional package adds keyless entry, a power driver seat (including lumbar adjustment), and a USB/iPod interface. Additional luxury and driver assist features like a back-up camera, a power passenger seat, heated front seats, leather upholstery and a nine-speaker premium sound system with digital music storage and a touch screen interface would also available with the top end models. 

It would be interesting to see what features and subsequent pricing the Indian version of the Grand Cherokee carries with it, but for now we are sure as hell are excited about its launch in India slated for late 2013.
