Jeep India recently released the new prices of its product portfolio in India and boy, Jeep fans are in for a pleasant surprise. The US based company has slashed the prices of its models in India by up to Rs. 18.5 lakh on the Grand Cherokee Limited model.

Lastly, the Grand Cherokee SRT (Street and Racing Technology) sees a price drop of Rs. 5 lakh, which is the least. The Grand Cherokee SRT is still the most expensive Jeep model in the country.

Apart from the drop in prices, Jeep has also given subtle updates to the Grand Cherokee such as billet-like plating for the grille slats and newly designed 18-inch alloys which will be painted in high gloss silver and will be standard on the Grand Cherokee Limited. The Summit variant of the Grand Cherokee gets new 20-inch alloys done in polished aluminium in Technical Grey colour. Lastly, the SRT variant gets 20-inch full polished satin clear coat and matte black split spoke alloys. The SRT also gets upper and lower cooling intakes on the front end.
(Jeep Wrangler Unlimited)The other updates include a Gen II automatic transmission, standard air suspension on the Summit trim of the Grand Cherokee and standard LED fog lamps on the entire range. Also, the steering setup is now electric power assisted as compared to the earlier setup of electro-hydraulic power steering. All the Grand Cherokee variants now also get an acoustic windshield which apparently reduces seepage of noise into the cabin.
