Jeep brand in India continues to be spied after said launch dates were postponed for unknown reasons. After some activity with the cars, they went back into hiding. However, in June 2015 they were spotted again on the roads being tested or homologated by the company. Testing continues and this time around we have just received spyshots of the car from our reader Mr.Dhiraj Patil who spotted test vehicles somewhere on Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
Previously, the two-door wrangler and Cherokee were being tested, however, know the four-door Wrangler is being tested with Crd engine which means it’s a 2.8 l oil-burner that makes 200 PS and 460 Nm of torque. The Cherokee has the 3.0 V6 diesel engine that makes 200 PS and 570 Nm of torque.
Cherokee comes with 20-inch blinged chrome alloy wheels and lot of kit inside the cabin. Room in the back is good enough and leather seem standard. Expect changes in power and torque figure as our testing and fuel quality will surely make the difference than the US or European spec cars.
