India All Set To Test Drive Jeep Grand Cherokee

The pre conceived idea of a jeep flashes the image of those models by Mahindra. Such has been the image that has prevailed for quite a long tenure now. But it's been lately that products from this American car maker have been in news. Now, the Fiat-Chrysler alliance is set to bring the brand here by the end of the year and the latest products look like no similar to the impression that you have had when you hear of Jeep.


The Grand Cherokee, one of the first models to make an appearance here, is, according to the manufacturer, the most awarded SUV of all times. So, what is this new-age Jeep all about?

To start with the looks, the slit-like headlamps and the aggressively shaped daytime running lamps incorporated in them are the show stopping features. Then they see the big seven-slat grille, the broad shoulders and squared-off wheel arches; jaws simply drop. So, the Grand Cherokee has a look to admire. What is surprising is that after all the drama of the nose, the rear is quite generic – it looks a bit like a Fortuner from afar. That and the massive  chrome wheels that this Overland Summit variant comes with, are the only possible turnoffs of an otherwise butch looking SUV.
