Even though we expected Jeep to bring the 3-door Wrangler to India, the company has decided to go with the 5-door version.

In India, the Wrangler will be sold only with a diesel engine and the transmission options will be limited to an automatic gearbox with a manual 4x4 option.

The Grand Cherokee, on the other hand, will be offered in two variants: the base variant, 'Limited' and the top-of-the-line 'Summit'.

The official Jeep India website also teases the Cherokee SRT which is powered by a 6.4-litre V8 Hemicuda petrol (475bhp) engine. If launched, we expect Jeep to sell the Cherokee SRT in limited numbers.

The American car manufacturer also has other SUVs in its portfolio that are expected to reach Indian shores within the next few years. The first will be the Jeep Renegade, which is currently being tested in India with the codename "C-SUV".

Expected starting price range of Jeep models in India:

  • Wrangler Rs. 25 to 35 lakh
