Melbourne, December, 2003 - The latest Jeep® Grand Cherokee, with a new appearance that accentuates the vehicle's distinctive design and 4x4 leadership, has been launched to the Australian marketplace.

The new Jeep Grand Cherokee features a fresh look with a new front fascia and grille for all models. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and Limited models also feature round fog lamps.

The more upright grille bars enhance the trademark seven-slotted grille design, and the sculpted front fascia holds round fog lamps that invoke Jeep's heritage and strengthen the family resemblance with the Cherokee and Wrangler.

The Grand Cherokee Overland and Limited models have body-colour with chrome surround grille bars while the Laredo models features chromed grille bars. All models of the new-look Grand Cherokee have a silver-painted accent below the fascia. New 17-inch diameter, five-spoke wheels are now standard on the Limited model.

Safety features standard on all Jeep Grand Cherokee models include next-generation front air bags, self-adjusting low-tension three-point front seat belts and height-adjustable shoulder belts.

Proven Jeep Four-Wheel Drive Systems

All Grand Cherokee vehicles in Australia are available with Jeep-engineered four-wheel-drive systems. The Quadra-Trac II® on-demand transfer case with low range is standard on all models. The Quadra-Trac II transfer case incorporates a progressive, speed-sensing torque transfer coupling.

The Quadra-Drive® system combines the Quadra-Trac II transfer case with Vari-Lok® axles, which use progressive, hydro-mechanical speed-sensing torque transfer couplings in both front and rear differentials. Quadra-Drive is standard on the Overland V8 model and optional on the Limited V8 model.

Extended Line-up Offers Many Choices

As the creator of the sport-utility vehicle segment, Jeep continues to offer unique vehicles to a wide range of customers. The 4.7-litre High-Output V-8 petrol engine is available for the Overland model, the 4.7-litre PowerTech [SYMBOL] V-8 petrol engine is standard for the Limited and available for the Laredo models, and the 4.0-litre I-6 petrol is standard on the Laredo model. Also offered is the 2.7-litre CRD I-5 diesel available on Overland, Limited and Laredo models.

Grand Cherokee is the best selling Jeep model outside North America, with nearly 24,500 units sold in the first nine months of 2003. This comprises 43 per cent of total Jeep sales in international markets for the period.

In Australia, Grand Cherokee is one of the strongest Chrysler Group vehicles in the market. Sales in November 2003 for Grand Cherokee represented an 11% increase on November 2002.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is built at the Magna Steyr assembly plant in Graz, Austria.
