Engine specs have yet to be released, but a 3.0-liter diesel-powered Grand Cherokee is already sold in Europe. In the U.S., Jeep canceled the Grand Cherokee diesel in 2009; under the hood was a 3.0-liter V-6.

It seems like diesel is the new buzzword lately; many automakers have recently announced plans to add oil-burners to their lineups. Chevrolet’s Cruze diesel should go on sale next year, and Mazda just announced plans to sell a diesel version of the redesigned-for-2014 Mazda6 sedan. Audi is also adding several more cars to its already robust diesel-powered roster.

The Grand Cherokee’s new engine will make its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, according to Wards.
