New Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011): UK Price & Models

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee UK - Diesel only Interestingly, the pile of blurb we got in from Jeep UK on the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee made the assertion that Jeep “…invented the premium SUV (sport-utility vehicle) segment with the introduction of the Jeep Grand Cherokee.” Really? Still, we have a soft-spot for the big Yank-Tank that is the Jeep Grand Cherokee so we’ll put that statement down to nothing more than a bit of PR hubris, rather than a genuine claim. Much of what we know already about the new Grand Cherokee since it was revealed over a year ago remains unchanged with its arrival in the UK.

CAR tech: who's to blame for your car's terrible fuel economy?

In early 2013 Audi lost a case brought by the Advertising Standard Agency (ASA) because of ‘misleading’ fuel economy figures used in an advert, after a customer complained they couldn’t get anywhere near the 68mpg quoted. The court case once more exposes the yawning gap between officially sanctioned mpg figures and those experienced by owners. A recent study by the Independent Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) looked at cars sold in the UK and Europe, and discovered the difference between official mpg figures and real-world driving had grown from 8% in 2001 to a barely believable 21% in 2011.

Jeep adds Rocky Mountain models to lineup

On top of cash-back incentives and employee-pricing programs, Jeep is implementing another value play to lift sales with the introduction of Rocky Mountain Edition versions of the Patriot, the Liberty and the Grand Cherokee. Included in the Rocky Mountain Edition are a sunroof, a 30-gigabyte UConnect stereo interface, a Boston Acoustics sound system, exclusive wheel finishes and Rocky Mountain Edition badges. According to Jeep, that's $2,300 worth of options at the discounted price of $1,595 if you check off the Rocky Mountain package on the order sheet.
