Next week, at the Geneva Motor Show, the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee will debut a new, optional 3.0 liter turbo diesel engine available for Europe and other diesel markets. The new 3.0 liter turbo diesel engine produces 241 hp at 4,000 rpm and 406 lb-ft of torque at 1,800-2,800 rpm.

This translates to 10 percent more power and eight percent more torque than the engine it replaces. Fuel economy for the new 3.0 liter turbo diesel engine is 8.3 L/100km on the combined cycle, an improvement of 17 percent over the prior diesel engine.

Jeep Grand Cherokee will be now offered in Europe in Laredo and Limited trim lines in addition to the Overland version. The Laredo and Limited trim lines will be available with the 3.6 liter V-6 Pentastar engine and new 3.0 liter turbo diesel, while Overland will be available for the total engine lineup.

The Grand Cherokee is also available with the 352 horsepower 5.7 liter V8 petrol engine.
