Australian 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Priced From $45000 Drive Away

Jeep have announced that the new 2014 Grand Cherokee will be priced from $45000 Drive Away - but this is for the new 2x4 version of the 8 speed Laredo. It comes with a lower grade audio system with smaller 7" Screen instead of the smart 8.4" system in the 4x4 versions. This should still be a strong seller with lots of appeal to those buyers that don't need the 4x4 capability but love the style and features of the Jeep. All the other models have risen in price by $1000 over 2013 prices. Some dealers till have some 2013 models at bargain prices if you are quick.

2014 Grand Cherokee's Start Arriving At Australian Dealers - No GPS Option For Laredo

As the new 8 Speed 2014 Grand Cherokee models start to arrive in Australian dealers details are now emerging that dealers have been told that there will not be an option to upgrade the Laredo 8.4" Screen to GPS Navigation. Unlike US models that can be upgraded with a GPS software re-program this feature will not be available for Australian buyers. And if you think that you will just put the GPS unit from the Limited model into your Laredo that is not an option either.

First impressions so far - the 8 speed with the 3.6L Pentastar petrol engine is a cracker, the new 8 speed transmission has turned it into a real performer.
GPS Navigation and power tailgate are now standard on the Limited.
More details soon.
