The new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee will be introduced across European markets in the third quarter 2013 and it will be available in the Laredo, Limited and Overland trim levels and in a more exclusive Summit top-of-the-range model. New eight-speed automatic transmissionChrysler Group's new eight-speed automatic transmission debuts on the 3.0-liter V-6 diesel engine as well as on the V-6 and V-8 petrol engine offerings. New transmission ensures reduced consumption and emissions, while delivering quicker acceleration, a more precise and smooth shifting and also enhancing ride quality to new levels. Fitted for the first time on a Jeep model, the new eight-speed automatic transmission also enhances Grand Cherokee's ride quality to new levels. Several individual shift maps adapt to specific driving conditions to optimize shift quality. Its intelligent software takes into account variables including acceleration, engine torque gradients, kick-down events and travelling speed to determine the appropriate shift map. The result is automatic shifting ideally attuned to the performance requirements of almost any driving demand with an eye to fuel economy.New Eco ModeA further contributor to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee's improved fuel economy is the new Eco Mode, which optimises gear shifting and, in V-8 models, Fuel Saver cylinder deactivation. If sportier performance is desired, a button on the center stack allows driver to disengage. In addition, Eco Mode activates Quadra-Lift air suspension system, if fitted, to further enhance the vehicle's aerodynamics, for optimum efficiency. New designExteriors For 2014, the Jeep Grand Cherokee receives an updated style: all trim levels have been given a more premium look and are readily recognisable at a glance. On all models, the signature seven-slot grille is shorter in height, the headlights are slimmer and the lower front fascia has been slightly elevated while the fog lights have been raised and are more pronounced. Together, these changes give the front of the Grand Cherokee a more elegant, sportier appearance while still preserving Jeep's signature features.The rear has also received changes and boasts new, larger tail lamps with LED lighting, a larger and more aerodynamic rear spoiler, new bumpers and a re-sculpted tailgate that offers greater visibility. Lower rear fascias are now model-specific, and dual exhaust tips are standard on all Limited, Overland and Summit models.
