Available from the 1st March, 2010, Jeep’s latest special edition model will attract a lot of interest from new buyers wanting to test drive the luxurious Grand Cherokee Overland Tech.

Customer demand for even more lavishly equipped 4x4 vehicles has led to a new special edition Jeep Grand Cherokee being introduced.  Priced at £33,450, the Grand Cherokee Overland Tech is extremely well equipped and offers customers fantastic value for money combined with Jeep’s legendary four-wheel-drive capability. Only 115 models will be made available.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee range now includes four models; Limited, Overland, SRT-8 and the new Overland Tech. The popular 3.0-litre, six cylinder diesel engine in the Grand Cherokee Overland Tech, produces 215 bhp and 376 Ib ft of torque to give the Grand Cherokee a top speed of 124 mph. Grand Cherokee Overland Tech goes from to 62.5 mph in 9.7 seconds.

The Grand Cherokee Overland Tech is brimming with a whole host of high tech equipment – sunscreen glass, 18 inch alloy wheels, xenon headlamps, front and rear park assist, rear back-up camera and rain sensitive automatic windscreen wipers. The elegant and luxurious theme continues inside with leather trimmed seats, real Walnut Burlwood accents, power front seats, electric windows, dual-zone air conditioning, power sunroof and heated door mirrors.  Heated front and rear seats plus the rear DVD entertainment system add the final luxury touch to an interior that is high tech, exclusive and well appointed.

The Grand Cherokee Overland Tech also features a state-of-the-art vehicle infotainment system with a 276-watt premium sound system with six Boston Acoustics speakers and a 3D satellite navigation system with a 30GB hard drive and Bluetooth connectivity.

Safety is increasingly important for customers and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Tech is fitted with many standard safety features including  Electronic Stability Control (ESC) that delivers four security features to improve overall vehicle handling and performance both on- and off-road: Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) reacts and applies brakes during extreme situations while available Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA) work with optional Trailer-Sway Control (TSC)  to enhance off-road and towing capabilities.

Quadra Trac II, Jeep’s full time active four-wheel-drive system, provides outstanding response and traction under all driving conditions – both on- and off-road – without the driver having to shift any levers or push any buttons. It also improves handling stability in wet weather and on slippery roads by making maximum use of available traction during acceleration

Quadra-Drive II incorporates Electronic Limited Slip Differentials (ELSD) — front, centre and rear — to offer customers the ultimate in off-road capability with even quicker response to changing conditions and greater torque capacity.

Federico Goretti, Managing Director of Chrysler UK Ltd, said: “We are very confident that the Grand Cherokee Overland Tech with its combination of luxury, ability, equipment and competitive price will find favour with many UK customers.

“The Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Tech offers customer savings of £4,300 over the Overland model. With only 115 models for sale we expect high demand,  so interested buyers should visit their nearest Jeep dealership for more information and to test drive this special edition.”

Jeep Grand Cherokee models are covered by the comprehensive Jeep warranty scheme, which provides a three-year/60,000 mile mechanical warranty, seven-year anti-corrosion warranty and one-year European roadside assistance.
