Jeep has launched its Grand Cherokee into the European market with a starting price of €52,200. This model is currently only offered in Overland trim, the highest available on the American market. Buyers can choose between a V6 and a V8 petrol engine or they could wait for the 225 hp V6 diesel set to arrive early next year. With a Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 under the hood, the SUV has an output of 286 hp and 347 Nm (255 lb-ft) of torque in European spec. Meanwhile, the 5.7-liter V8 delivers 352 hp and 520 Nm (383 lb-ft) of torque. All engines are partnered with a 5-speed automatic transmission that guarantees decent performance figures. The V6 results to a 0-62mph acceleration time of 9.1 seconds and it can hit a top speed of 206 km/h or 127 US mph (with an average consumption of 11.4 l/100 km or mpg 20 mpg and 265 g / km CO2).



The 5.7-liter V8 does slightly better, pushing the Jeep to hit 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds and attain a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph), while getting 14.1 l/100 km (16 mpg) on the combined run. In Overland trim, the Grand Cherokee features active bi-xenon headlights, sunroof, powered tailgate, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, traction control, stability control for trailer towing and seven airbags.



The Grand Cherokee Overland V6 is priced from €52,200 to €63,800 for the V8. The new Grand Cherokee, which measures over 7 cm (2.75 inches) longer and 6.8 cm (2.67 inches) wider than its predecessor, has received major improvements in its exterior and interior design, with superior materials and bigger space for passengers. Buyers may opt for the metallic paint for €850 or the Safety Pack, featuring active cruise control and blind sport sensors, for €1,800.

  1. Hello! I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about jeep in your area. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about jeep. Keep it up! This is a good read.
    The Jeep has been widely imitated around the world, including in France by Delahaye and by Hotchkiss et Cie (after 1954, Hotchkiss manufactured Jeeps under license from Willys), and in Japan by Mitsubishi Motors and Toyota. The utilitarian good looks of the original Jeep have been hailed by industrial designers and museum curators alike. The Museum of Modern Art described the Jeep as a masterpiece of functionalist design, and has periodically exhibited the Jeep as part of its collection. Ernie Pyle called the Jeep, along with the Coleman G.I. Pocket Stove, "the two most important pieces of noncombat equipment ever developed." Jeeps became even more famous following the war, as they became available on the surplus market. Some ads claimed to offer "Jeeps still in the factory crate." This legend persisted for decades, despite the fact that Jeeps were never shipped from the factory in crates.
