Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has revealed the new Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the US. The new SUV takes exterior design inspiration from the previously revealed Grand Wagoneer concept.
Christian Meunier, Jeep president, quoted that the new Grand Cherokee L was redesigned to honour 'its iconic Jeep heritage'.
In terms of exteriors, the Grand Cherokee L's two-box shape appears to be somewhat similar to the original model introduced back in 1992. On the other hand, Grand Wagoneer's influence could be pointed out in its thin LED lights, protruding front bumper and new-shape seven-slat grille.

The side profile of the car gets a prominent beltline that extends from the headlamps to the slim tail-lamps. Also, its large squared out wheel arches contribute to its dominating look. The beltline seems to flow towards the tail where the lower tailgate features an inset to house the number plate. The rear bumper also received lower set fog lamps and prominent exhaust finishers which complements the overall appearance.
