Jeep Spain just released their pricing information for Cherokee and it is not pretty.

Base Longitude (our Latitude) starts at 36,250 euros or $50K USD. AWD bumps that to almost $57K.

Trailhawk will sell for 54,000 euros about $75K.

The Pentastar 6 will only be available in the TH, and the tigershark 4 has been replaced with a 2.0 multijet diesel from FIAT.

To give a little bit of perspective on the pricing, Land Rover Spain starts the Evoque off at 36,743 euros. Ford sells the Kuga there for 20,190 euros.

Wow, I wonder how much of that is import taxes? With the Euro stronger than the Dollar you would expect it to be cheaper not more expensive.

Im glad I got my Limited V6 here for less than 26k euro. When I'll move back to Italy I'll bring it there for sure instead of reselling it here. It will feel more exclusive since it won't be available there.

Don't forget Europe has import taxes and VAT (Value added tax). The VAT is typically 20% or higher. I would guess that import duties/taxes add another 10% to the base price. Together that's 30% higher than advertised prices in the US!

 

[KCSpider]

Yeah, but with Trailhawk starting at about $30k, if you add 20% + 10%, it turns around $40k.
add even $2000 for shipping (that should be the cost for a private, for a company will be cheaper for sure), it's still far from $75k

Wow!! Glad to be an American living in the states. I wouldn't be able to afford it if I were living in Europe.

Holy crap, that's insane. It will be hard to compete with Land Rover if the Jeep costs more.

Dont forget along with higher prices, and standard of living is higher, the spec is higher, and your wages are higher! Alas, it works out in the end! I'm a aussie living in Canada, and the parallel between the 2 countries is amazing
