Plans to continue the success of the popular and successful Jeep Grand Cherokee range of SUV vehicles have been announced, with details of a raft of enhancements to the current model for 2016/17. In addition, and to celebrate the iconic 4x4 brand's 75th birthday, Jeep has also revealed details of a 75th Anniversary limited edition Grand Cherokee for the U.K. The car was first revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
Meanwhile, an addition to the SRT range of Grand Cherokees, the SRT Night limited edition - which features exclusive styling - has also been announced for sale in this country. The latest, model year Grand Cherokee now has a new start-stop function and electric steering which helps to achieve a 14g reduction in CO2 (to 184g/km), compared with the previous model year. Fuel economy has also been improved to 17.2km/L on diesel versions.
Unlike conventional power steering, the new electric power steering system, with selectable driving modes, does not draw power from the engine and, with a resultant reduction in fluid weight, fuel savings are made, in conjunction with the new start-stop function.
Designed to enhance Grand Cherokee's striking design, the new model's bold styling includes a range of new exterior colours including, Velvet Red, Redline and Ivory Tri-Coat, while acoustic glass improves the cabin experience.
