Rumour: Jeep India launch scheduled for August 2016

If reports doing rounds on the Internet are to be believed, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has finally decided to introduce the Jeep brand in India. Jeep will reportedly start its Indian operations on a later date in August 2016.

The American SUV maker will initially introduce the Wrangler and the Grand Cherokee, while other products will follow in the coming months. Jeep recently revealed specifications of the Grand Cherokee on its Indian website. It will be offered in three trim levels: Limited, Summit, and SRT.

The other product that will be introduced with Jeep's Indian entry would be the Wrangler. Jeep has officially confirmed that India would get only the five-door Wrangler, a decision taken to offer the more practical version.

The speculated replacement of the Jeep Compass, which is currently codenamed as the C-SUV, will also launch in India in the course of the next few years. Jeep also appears to be planning to launch the Renegade in India, going by its recent spy shots.
