On-road ride and handling will be maximized thanks to 4 wheel independent suspension, and for the first time the Grand Cherokee will be available with an optional 3rd row seating to raise maximum capacity to 7 passengers.

Vehicle assembly will begin next month in the USA, and the Middle East region is expected to receive its first units sometime after September, before the new year.
