The new Jeep Grand Cherokee will soon run on Sri Lankan roads bringing the best driving experience on all terrains for local motorists. Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) has introduced this all-new 2011 Jeep with more than 45 safety and security features and is a 2011 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick.

Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers premium on-road performance while maintaining the Jeep brand’s legendary four-wheel-drive, torque-on-demand two-speed transfer case and towing capability. It also offers improved fuel economy and a world-class interior cabin, a press release of the company said.

Standard safety features include electronic stability control (ESC), electronic roll mitigation (ERM), four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) with rough-road detection, four-wheel brake traction control system, keyless Enter-N-Go, remote keyless entry, express up/down windows for driver and front-seat passenger, seat-belt pretension, trailer-sway control and remote start, which is standard on Limited and Overland and available on Laredo models.

Other standard safety features include full-length side-curtain air bags, which extend protection to front and rear outboard passengers, seat-mounted side thorax air bags that enhance protection for the driver and front passenger, and active head restraints, which deploy in the event of a rear collision, according to the company.

The all new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is now available at DIMO, the general distributor for Jeep and Chrysler. DIMO has priced the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, at a competitive price of Rs 16 million onwards, the press release said.
