Up front, the SUV gets a seven-slot Jeep grille with sleek LED headlights and DRLs on either side. The bumper houses the central air intakes. A smooth belt line runs across the side profile, from the headlights to the tail lamps. The SUV stands on five-spoke machined alloy wheels.

Like its previous avatar, the Grand Cherokee continues to be offered as a 5-seater in India.

This engine will come mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. No diesel engine options will be made available for the SUV.
