As one of the American joint venture brands, GAC Fick is infinitely close to delisting. In the future, once GAC Fick delisting is finalized, it means that there will be no more Jeep domestic cars, and the new Jeep cars seen in the domestic market can only be imported cars.

"Automotive Industry concern" learned that domestic Jeep models are in a state of inventory clearance, and as the flagship model of the Jeep brand, the Grand Cherokee discount is unique. Several 4S stores of Jeep brand announced on social media that the current Grand Cherokee is a big promotion, and the 2020 3.0L professional navigation version with a guide price of 529900 yuan can make a profit of 200000 yuan. If consumers decide as soon as possible, there is still some room for profit.

According to consumers who have picked up the car or went to the store to learn about it, even if the terminal transaction price is not 200000 yuan cheaper, the discount in some cities is 16 or 170000 yuan. Of course, it can also be seen from this that after GAC Fick was exposed to be delisted, the mood of car dealers to clear the stock is very urgent.

It is understood that the Grand Cherokee is a classic model launched by Chrysler, positioning medium and large SUV, the price range is 52.99-714900 yuan. In terms of power, the Grand Cherokee provides 3.0L and 3.6L power for consumers to choose from, all equipped with eight-speed manual transmission and full-time four-wheel drive system, of which 3.0L maximum horsepower 234Ps, peak torque 285N ·m, 3.6L maximum horsepower 286Ps, peak torque 347N ·m. In terms of overall product power, even the cheapest Grand Cherokee costs only about 350000 yuan after a discount, but as a pure American off-road vehicle priced as high as 500000 yuan, its overall performance will not be much of a problem. In this regard, netizens have expressed their own views.

Although the discount is big, but with the delisting of GAC Fick, it is inevitable to worry about the follow-up product maintenance. In recent years, GAC Fick sales continued to decline, more and more 4S stores have chosen to withdraw from the network. Auto Industry Watch learned from the official website that even in first-tier cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen, there are only three stores related to the Jeep brand, while there are only six stores in Beijing and only four in Shanghai. In addition, it is not difficult to predict that as the inventory of Jeep domestic and imported models is cleared, more and more stores will choose to withdraw from the network. According to the latest sales, the Grand Cherokee insured a total of 946 vehicles in the first half of the year.

In addition, the Grand Cherokee discount inventory clearance is not only related to the delisting of GAC Fick, but also related to the replacement of new cars.

At the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, Jeep officially unveiled a new generation of Grand Cherokee long-wheelbase models. In terms of appearance, the new Grand Cherokee L continues Jeep's iconic seven-hole intake grille and designs two different front face styles for the new car. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5204/1979/1816mm and wheelbase 3091mm respectively. In the interior part, the new car features a 10.3in full LCD dashboard with an 8.4in central control screen (optional 10.1in), built-in UConnect 5 entertainment information system, and supports Apple's wireless CarPlay and Android Auto as well as 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspots. On the power side, the new Grand Cherokee L launched in the US market will be equipped with 3.6L naturally aspirated V-type six-cylinder engine and 5.7L naturally aspirated V-type eight-cylinder Hemi engine with maximum power of 294hp and 362hp respectively, and peak torque of 348Nm and 528Nm respectively. In terms of transmission, it will continue to match the 8-speed manual self-integrated transmission.

In June this year, the spy photos of the new Grand Cherokee road test in China were exposed. Judging from the spy photos, the new generation of the domestic road test Grand Cherokee is the standard wheelbase version and the top Summit Reserve version. The new car will have a brand new matrix seven-hole intake grille and a more sporty front enclosure shape. In terms of size, as a standard wheelbase version, the length, width and height of the new car is 4915/1979/1816mm and the wheelbase is 2964mm, which is an all-round improvement compared with the Grand Cherokee on sale. In terms of power, the new Grand Cherokee offers 3.6L V6, 5.7L V8 and 2.0T 4Xe (PHEV) power options in the US market, and the models imported into China in the future may be 3.6L V6 and 2.0T 4Xe versions, of course, it does not rule out the possibility that Jeep will provide additional power for the Chinese market alone.

If you ask whether the Grand Cherokee is worth buying, as an out-and-out American off-road vehicle, it is still very attractive for the terminal to plummet by 200000 yuan, but after buying this model, you have to bear higher fuel costs and a serious decline in value preservation rates. and may face maintenance difficulties.
