Fiat has been considering bringing the Jeep brand to India for a while. The Italian car maker initially declared the launch of the Jeep brand in India in 2013 but that was postponed due to price related issues. Now though, it seems that the launch is finally around the corner. With the launch of its Indian website and recent activity on all social media platforms it seems evident that the launch is around the corner.
Two years back when Jeep was scheduled to come to India, it was expected to come with two models – the Wrangler Unlimited and the Grand Cherokee. But apart from these two, a third model is also expected to come to India now - the flagship Grand Cherokee SRT. This new model will mark the introduction of the performance SRT brand in India.
The Grand Cherokee SRT comes with a 6.4-litre Hemi V8 unit that makes 475 horses and an insane 630Nm of torque. These figures allow the Grand Cherokee SRT to touch the 100kmph mark from standstill in just 5 seconds, and that’s quite a feat considering its humungous size.
The standard Grand Cherokee on the other hand will sport a 3.0-litre unit that makes 240PS. This engine comes mated to a ZF-sourced 8-speed autobox. The Wrangler Unlimited is available in short wheelbase and long wheelbase version in the international market but in India only the longer one is expected to go on sale. The 4-door Wrangler Unlimited will make 200PS from a 2.8-litre diesel mill. This unit will come mated to a 5-speed automatic gearbox.
Fiat is expected to launch the Grand Cherokee SRT at around Rs 1.40 crore. The Grand Cherokee and the Wrangler Unlimited should be priced around Rs 60 lakh and Rs 40 lakh respectively. Expect all these three cars to be showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo in February.
