(May 10, 2017) AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee premium mid-size SUV has become just the second gasoline-driven, American-made, American-brand vehicle to qualify for Japan’s Eco-Car tax break. The 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk was first.
Equipped with versions of the award-winning Pentastar V-6 engine, the 2017 Grand Cherokee and its predecessor met the strict fuel-efficiency and emissions standards allowing them to be eligible for the consumer tax incentive — worth between ¥58,000 and ¥66,000 ($522 and $594) to Grand Cherokee buyers.
