just saw the cherokee's interior dashboard comparison with the ford endeavour which costs 1\4th of the cherokee's price.

Looking at the tech specs of these jeeps, I felt Endeveaour, fortuner and Pajero Sport are better off buying and spending on them for rest of the ownership instead of pouring money into any of these Jeeps, doesn't sum up to the point isn't it?

Or Did they overshot their thinking seeing the purchasing power of Indians to keep such prices? Bubba Price is the main tool to play in India.

irony is you pay 1.4 Cr. for a "Jeep" and when people come to know about that news it would make them crazy thinking why so much needs to be paid having only below in mind as Jeep

Thanks for those lovely pics Akash, Everything looks perfect in those jeeps and The Grand Cherokee interiors and steering wheel is yummm! but very sorry for their pricing.

Just a few questions:

Did you try sitting in the Grand Cherokee's rear seat? Is the thigh support enough for tall people? Looking at the pics, I feel the seat is lowly places like in the Force One.

Does the Wrangler come only in petrol Avatar?

Uh well you can say that for the ones who has no idea about the internationalized brands, but once it hit the roads, it for sure will turn heads!

Thanks Vishwas, Actually you are correct on pricing, these products actually had luke-warm response due to their high prices.

Just a few questions:

Did you try sitting in the Grand Cherokee's rear seat? Is the thigh support enough for tall people? Looking at the pics, I feel the seat is lowly places like in the Force One.

Interiors space of Grand Cherokee wasn't quite overwhelming to be frank. Though I felt the under-thigh support to be just acceptable enough. So far with my experience of cars like X5, XC90, GLS, Q7 etc, the Grand Cherokee is not upto the mark in regards to interior space.

Does the Wrangler come only in petrol Avatar?

As I am aware, there is only 1 Diesel engine with AT in Wrangler Unlimited.

The New Jeep® Grand Cherokee range will now be available in six colours, with two new colour inclusions – Billet Silver Metallic, Bright White, Granite Crystal Pearl, True Blue Pearl, Velvet Red (new) and Diamond Black Crystal (new).

Electric Power Steering (EPS) replaces the electro-hydraulic power steering system for improved efficiency whilst vehicle dynamics can be adjusted providing three new select modes – Normal, Comfort and Sport.

’ParkSense’ – a rear park assist system now includes a Start / Stop function that applies the vehicle’s brakes.

All trims, across the range now get an acoustic windshield which helps reduce noise and enhance comfort.
