THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE has proven a resilient and long-lived success for Fiat Chrysler Australia. An all-new model is probably still a fair way off so a refresh should see it continuing to sell strongly.
Jeep Australia has modernised the award-winning Jeep Grand Cherokee range, offering consumers a host of premium variants across the product portfolio.
“The Jeep Grand Cherokee is renowned for its broad capability. The updated technology, safety advancements, refreshed exterior design and interior features ensure it remains one of the best offerings in its segment,” said Guillaume Drelon, Jeep Australia Director, Brand & Product Strategy.
Delivering improved customer value, Jeep Australia also recently announced its refreshed Capped Price Servicing Program for new Jeep customers in 2020, which applies to the MY20 Jeep Grand Cherokee range.
“Through a rigorous market review and analysis, we have built a competitive Capped Price Servicing Program to give Jeep customers complete peace of mind when they service their vehicle at a Jeep Dealership. Each 2020 Jeep model, including the revised Jeep Grand Cherokee range, will have a Capped Price Service cost from just $399 per service for the first five years. Customers can be confident they’re getting the best technical expertise when they service through a Jeep Dealership,” said Mr Drelon.
