Grand Cherokee updated

Jeep Ireland has announced details for the updated 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the luxuriously appointed and supremely capable 4x4 is now available at Jeep dealers nationwide, starting from €70,950.

To ensure the Jeep Grand Cherokee remains at the forefront of the premium SUV sector, the range now benefits from a raft of styling, engineering and technological enhancements.

The latest Grand Cherokee benefits from a raft of enhancements and now has a new Start&Stop function and electric power steering which helps to achieve a 14 gram reduction in CO2 (to 184g/km), compared with the previous model year. Fuel economy has also been improved to 40.4 mpg 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 Stop&Start function.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee starts at €70,950 for the Limited 3.0L V6 CRD 250hp, a reduction of over €9,000.
