The European Version of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee (HK) gets a 3.0-litre V-6 CRD...

3.0-litre V-6 CRD (mated with W5-A580 transmission, 3.55 axle ratio)

The all-new 3.0-litre V-6 CRD engine is a “next-generation” power unit from the DaimlerChrysler Group producing class-leading levels of power and torque, with good fuel economy. With Bosch high-pressure fuel injection (2000+ bar), a variable geometry turbocharger and four valves per cylinder, the new engine meets Euro 4 emissions standards without a diesel particulate filter. Maximum power is 218 hp (160 kW) and peak torque is 376 lb.-ft. (510 N•m) from just 1800 rpm.

For the diesel engine, a kick-down switch is now added to the accelerator pedal. This detent, reached before the full travel of the pedal, is intended to reduce transmission kick-downs during normal driving but still allow for full pedal travel when a quicker acceleration is wanted by the driver.

That 3.0-litre V-6 CRD isn't impressive. They need the Hemi.
