ALL-NEW 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE: THE NEW LEVEL

The all-new 1999 Jeep, Grand Cherokee once again keeps jeep vehicles at the forefront of the sport-utility segment with new levels of luxury, refinement, performance, handling and innovation combined with robust, Rubicon-proven capability-the very essence of every jeep vehicle.

With only 127 carry-over parts from the 1998 Grand Cherokee, the new vehicle is designed, engineered and built to master every imaginable day-to-day driving condition, whether it's on paved road or a demanding off-road trail.

"We are well aware that in this extremely competitive segment, the battle for the best sport-utility vehicle is being fought on-road as well as off-road," said Tom Gale, Executive Vice President - Product Strategy, Design and General Manager jeep Operations. "We are not about to yield to anyone when it comes to delivering the best combination of capability and comfort. We plan to keep aggressively building on Grand Cherokee's strong sales record and award-winning history."

As more and more automakers "top off"their product lines with sport-utility vehicles, the jeep brand stands out as the only American brand dedicated solely to this market segment-and one that has been continuously refined for over five decades.

Major changes to the all-new 1999 jeep Grand Cherokee include:

- Exterior Design Offers New Level of Style

- Interior Provides New Level of Luxury

- Two New Engines Delivers New Level of Performance

- Multi-Speed Automatic Offers New Level of Refinement

- Quadra-Drive 4WD System: New Level of Capability
