The new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee completely redefines the premium SUV, delivering consumers an unprecedented combination of best-in-class fuel economy and driving range, available clean-diesel technology, a choice of leading powertrain options, legendary benchmark capability, world-class craftsmanship, premium on-road driving dynamics, and a host of advanced user-friendly technology and safety features.

On hand to launch the Jeep Grand Cherokee were CATS President Felix Ang and Chairman Greg Yu.
For 2014, Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers an anticipated best-in-class fuel mileage courtesy of a new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine and a new eight-speed transmission. The new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 boasts an unmatched driving range of more than 1168km. A new eight-speed transmission drives the new EcoDiesel.
