In Melbourne: The Jeep® brand has strengthened its flagship Grand
Cherokee engine lineup when it added a 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine to
its range. The new 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine revs up 148 kW of
power and 315 Nm of potent torque mated to a five-speed automatic
transmission which has auto variable line pressure adjustment that
boost fuel economy. It is also equipped with top-of-line Jeep parts
like the popular Jeep axle assembly. The new engine has also becomes
the new price leading model for the Grand Cherokee with a staring price
of $51,990 which is the RRP or the Recommended Retail Price for the
Laredo. According to Gerry Jenkins, managing director for the
Chrysler Group in Australia, “The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee is designed,
engineered and built on the combination of heritage and capability that
has made the Jeep brand an icon in Four-wheel drive circles. Our new V6
petrol engine gives customers even more choice in selecting the model
that best suits their needs.” He also added, “And by setting a new
entry price of $51,990 (RRP), the V6 also makes the Grand Cherokee’s
on-road refinement and off-road mastery experience even more
attainable.” The already impressive Grand Cherokee range was even
made more remarkable with the addition of the new V6 engine completing
the lineup of powerful engines such as the fuel sipping 3.0-litre turbo
diesel, the powerful 5.7-litre V8 with its fuel saving
Multi-Displacement technology, the 4.7-litre V8, and who would forget
the high performance SRT 6.1-litre V8. Last year Grand Cherokee
registrations have reached an impressive 1,365 which represents a 1.4
percent increase compared to the 2005 sales. The said increase was
enough to cover the decline in the segment trend that happen in 2005. The
arrival of the new Jeep Wrangler, Compass, and Wrangler Unlimited later
this March will increase the Jeep range to six models including the
Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and the seven-seat Commander. The Jeep Patriot
will be also added later this year and will be introduced as the
seventh model. The Jeep Grand Cherokee was built in Graz, Austria. The pricing for the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee are as follows: • Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7-litre V6- $51,990 (RRP)
