HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND SEASONS GREETINGS TO YOU ALL
NEW CHEROKEE KL AUSTRALIAN RELEASE DELAYED
We have heard that the release of the all new 2014 Jeep Cherokee has been delayed for Australia. Now expected 2nd Quarter of 2014 after production delays in the USA caused the US release to be late. Vehicles have been rolling out to US dealers and the first month of sales has exceeded 10,000 in November. The new Jeep seems to have already been a hit with buyers. It does look better in the flesh than in photos and is expected to fill a big hole in the Jeep line up sitting between the small Compass and Patriot models and the much larger Grand Cherokee.
We should see a similar line up in Australia to that of the US market with Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk versions featuring 9 speed automatic transmissions and both petrol and turbo diesel variants.

Jeep Australia Release Grand Cherokee Summit
Jeep have released a new luxury model in Australia called the Summit.
It will fit above the Overland model and will be available as a limited edition. It will only be available with the Diesel Turbo engine and includes all the features of the current Overland plus chrome highlights to the grille, door sills and trapezoid exhaust tips, body-coloured wheel arch flares, 20-inch alloy wheels and Summit badging on the tailgate. On the interior it gets Harmon Kardon premium 19-speaker surround sound system and ‘NaturaPlus’ leather, which Jeep says is the highest grade leather found in any of its vehicles.
The Summit has been available in the USA for some years and will suit buyers looking at the high end of the market but still want a all terrain 4WD capable vehicle rather than the sportier SRT8 version. The Summit will also get the 3,500 KG Tow rating similar to the other diesel models.
It will be $75000 plus on road costs which is $4000 more than an Overland Diesel.
