Jeep Grand Cherokee S-Limited, S-Overland on sale from $71,450
New sport-themed limited-edition models bring a range of cosmetic and equipment upgrades, along with the return of the 5.7L Hemi V8.
Jeep Australia has released a pair of special Grand Cherokee editions, dubbed the S-Limited and S-Overland.
Priced from $71,450 and $82,950 respectively before on-road costs, both versions bring a suite of cosmetic and equipment upgrades to the trim levels on which they're based, while the S-Limited also marks the return of V8 power in the core Grand Cherokee range.
Just 100 units of the S-Limited and 120 examples of the S-Overland will be brought to Australia, with sales commencing this month.
Here's a breakdown of each special edition.
Grand Cherokee S-Limited
Jeep says the S-Limited brings over $15,000 worth of value to the mid-spec Limited, for an $8500 outlay.
Key features include the 259kW/520Nm 5.7-litre Hemi V8 petrol engine, driving all four wheels and offering a maximum tow capacity of 3500kg.
Other extras include 20-inch 'Granite Crystal' alloys, a performance sports bonnet with vents plucked from the Grand Cherokee SRT, 'Premium Accent' body-coloured claddings all round, 'Granite Crystal' finish for the front grille, darkened tail-lights, LED fog-lights, black chrome trapezoidal exhaust finishers, gloss black roof rails and mirror caps, Granite Crystal exterior accents including the badges, and 'S' badging.
