Jeep said that the new vehicle is re-engineered with a focus to optimise comfort, handling while reducing weight and improving fuel economy and off-road capability.<\/p>\n
It sports a 3.6-litre V6 engine, rated at 210kW of power and 344Nm of torque. To save petrol, the SUV also has an engine start-stop mechanism.<\/p>\n
The new Jeep is one of the company’s most tech-laden vehicles with a 10inch display that runs across the dashboard showing all necessary driving information and a fully digital rearview mirror.<\/p>\n
“The digital rearview mirror displays video in real-time from a rear-facing camera, offering an unobstructed image by the D-pillars or rear seats. It also reverts to a traditional reflective mirror,” said Jeep.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Grand Cherokee L is the first production Jeep vehicle to offer a windshield full-colour Head-up Display (HUD).<\/p>\n
The launch of the new Cherokee comes not long after the launch of the Gladiator Rubicon into the highlight competitive bakkie market.<\/p>\n
The Grand Cherokee L will take on South African staples including the BMW X5, the Land Rover Defender, and the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.<\/p>\n
The SUV comes with a standard five years\/120,000km warranty and roadside assistance. Maintenance intervals are every 12 months or 12,000km, but five years\/100,000km maintenance plan.<\/p>\n
