“Positioned over the current refined Overland trim, Summit goes one step further in providing the ultimate luxury a Grand Cherokee can offer in an area of the market where Europeans are very strong,” said Guillaume Drelon, Director, Brand & Product Strategy.

“Without compromising Jeep legendary capabilities, Summit is providing an extra edge of adventure, bringing to market the best combination of on-road refinement, technology and comfort with best in class off-road capabilities”

“The sport-style exterior is elevated by the Platinum trimmings, perfectly married with the elegantly crafted interior featuring premium, high-grade leather for exceptional cabin comfort.”

Unique to the Grand Cherokee range, the Summit exterior features a more refined front fascia with LED fog lights as well as a restyled rear fascia with sporty dual trapezoidal exhaust tips. In addition, the body-colour side sill cladding, wheel arches, mirror caps and door handles further deliver on the premium elements of Summit.

The exterior is further enhanced by the striking Platinum package included as standard with the Summit. Platinum chrome appointments adorn the vehicle, including 20” alloy wheels, accented front and rear lower fascia applique, side window surrounds and side sills, roof rails, tail lamp bezels, rear step pad, exterior badging and Jeep 7-slot grille.

Cockpit enhancements including a beautiful suede-like premium headliner, luxury berber cargo and floor mats and illuminated “SUMMIT” door sill plates take the interior styling of the Summit to new heights.

As standard, the Summit features high-grade NaturaPlus soft leather seats that have been crafted to deliver superior comfort and breathability. For those who wish to further enhance their cruising comfort, customers can option the “Signature Leather Wrapped Interior Package” complete with ultra-premium Laguna leather seats with quilted leather seats detailed with contract stitching as well as leather-wrapped upper and lower door panels, centre console and glove box.

In addition to its class-leading 8.4” Uconnect navigation system with Apple Car Play/ Android Auto, the Harmon Kardon Premium Audio System comes as standard in the Summit, featuring a 10-inch subwoofer and 19 high performance speakers strategically positioned throughout the cabin to provide an immersive, surround-sound experience for occupants.

The driving experience is further refined with acoustic rear windscreen and second row glass in the Summit, coupled with Harmon Kardon’s Active Noise Cancellation technology reducing road noise in the cabin by up to 10dB.

With a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, the Summit comes complete with advanced driver assistance systems including forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring and active cruise control as well as lane departure warning for a comfortable and intuitive driving experience.

Notably the flagship luxury model in the Grand Cherokee range, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit is now available in Jeep dealerships from $84,450 MSRP plus on roads.
