Jeep adds petrol variant of Grand Cherokee to its India portfolio

Mumbai, 19 July 2017: Jeep has added the ‘petrol’ version of the Grand Cherokee to its range in India. Priced at INR 75.15 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi), it is powered by the 3.6-litre Pentastar engine that produces 289.6 PS peak power and 347 Nm of torque. The engine is mated with an upgraded ‘Gen II’ 8-speed paddle shift automatic transmission, which is engineered to deliver improved overall performance resulting in less drag on the clutches.
