The Jeep brand of FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) made a digital world premiere of the new ” 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L” on January 7.
The conventional Grand Cherokee was world premiered at the New York Motor Show 2009 in the United States in the spring of 2009. While sharing the platform with Mercedes-Benz “M class”, it pursues high rough road running performance unique to Jeep. The current model is the third-generation model. With both left and right handles, it is a global model that is sold not only in North America but also in Europe.
The new Grand Cherokee L is the 4th generation model. The name “L” was given because it is a three-row seat specification instead of the conventional two-row seat specification. We pride ourselves on breaking new ground with outstanding performance, comfort and functionality. With legendary 4WD features, improved on-road performance, interior and exterior premiums and craftsmanship, it is said to have inherited the Grand Cherokee tradition.
The proportions were inspired by Jeep’s first full-size luxury SUV, the “Grand Wagoneer.” It has a longer bonnet and cabin than the conventional type. The low, tapered roof improves aerodynamics and fuel economy without sacrificing luggage space and practicality.
