Jeep Grand Cherokee Signature Edition: Take a look at 5 key highlights of this special edition SUV

Hindustan Times18 hours ago

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Signature Edition now gets added to the list of other editions of the SUV.
Jeep has introduced a new Signature Edition of the Grand Cherokee in India, expanding its flagship SUV offering with a few thoughtful enhancements. Priced at ₹ 69.04 lakh (ex-showroom), the Signature Edition is ₹ 1.54 lakh costlier than the standard Limited (O) variant. While the Signature Edition does not bring sweeping changes, it subtly enhances the Grand Cherokee's appeal through a few useful additions, particularly for those prioritising comfort and in-cabin utility. That said, with no drivetrain or design updates, it stays largely the same SUV under the skin. With increasing competition in the premium SUV space, Jeep's move seems focused on offering buyers a value-added package rather than a reimagined product.
Here are five key highlights that define this new edition:
5 Safety and rivals
The Grand Cherokee comes with eight airbags, ABS with EBD, traction and stability control, hill start assist, tyre pressure monitoring, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Notably, this model is locally assembled in India, making it more competitively priced than fully imported rivals like the Volvo XC90 or some trims of the Audi Q7. However, with no seven-seater option, the Grand Cherokee may not appeal to larger families looking for maximum flexibility.

Meanwhile, the diesel powered version will set back the buyer by Rs 17.86 lakh (ex-showroom). Before the introduction of this iteration, the Z6 diesel trim was the most affordable automatic variant of the SUV starting at Rs 18.91 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes the latest automatic variant more affordable by Rs 1.05 lakh. The two engine options available with the Scorpio N Z4 trim are 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine which produces 203 hp of power and 370 Nm of peak torque with MT and 380 Nm with AT.

Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Baleno go under Bharat NCAP. Here are the safety features

Bharat NCAP, India's official car safety rating body, recently crash-tested two of Maruti Suzuki's most popular models—the Dzire and the Baleno. The results revealed a major milestone for Maruti Suzuki, as the Dzire became the brand's first sedan to receive a full five-star rating for both Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP) under the Bharat NCAP safety protocols. The Dzire stood out with its impressive safety credentials. Equipped with six airbags, an electronic stability program (ESP), hill hold assist, and ABS with EBD, the compact sedan offers a comprehensive suite of safety features. It also includes a 360-degree parking camera, front seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters, and speed-sensitive auto door locks. Additional features such as high-speed alert, ISOFIX child seat mounts, three-point seatbelts for all occupants, rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, fog lamps, and a tyre pressure monitoring system further enhance its safety profile. In Bharat NCAP tests, the Dzire scored 29.46 out of 32 for adult occupant protection and 41.57 out of 49 for child occupant protection. This impressive performance follows its earlier achievement of a five-star rating in the Global NCAP crash tests in November 2024. In detailed evaluations, it earned 14.17/16 in the Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test and 15.29/16 in the Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test. The Baleno, Maruti's premium hatchback, also fared well but fell slightly short of Dzire's results. It was tested in two variants—one with six airbags and the other with just two. Both models came equipped with essential safety technologies, including ESP, ABS with EBD, hill hold assist, 360-degree parking camera, and front seatbelt pretensioners. The hatchback also features an auto-dimming IRVM, high-speed alert system, ISOFIX mounts, and reverse parking sensors. In crash test assessments, the six-airbag variant scored 26.52 out of 32 for adult protection, while the two-airbag variant secured 24.04. Both achieved a score of 34.81 out of 49 for child occupant protection. During the Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test, both variants posted identical scores of 11.54 out of 16. However, the Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test showed a reversal—where the six-airbag variant scored 12.50, the two-airbag variant surprisingly outperformed it with 14.99 out of 16.
