A few updates are in store for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and while we've told you about them before, we're now getting our first glimpse at the refreshed SUV without all the heavy camouflage.

Up front, new headlights with LED running lamps flow into a new front fascia design with a smaller seven-slat grille and some curvy bodywork that flows up underneath the headlamp clusters. (With the black tape still covering part of the fascia, can anyone else see a bit of Chrysler 300 in those headlights?) Revisions have been made to the Jeep's lower front end, as well; and all in, it's not as aggressive (or handsome) as the current model. Also, we're not sure how we feel about the flat gray panel that surrounds the grille on the Laredo model, though it's unclear whether that's actually a production piece. We'll hold off making up our minds about the new styling, for certain, until we see the fully baked SUV.

At the back, subtle tweaks have been made to the taillamps (LEDs have been added – surprise, surprise), and the tailgate has been ever-so-slightly redesigned.

The big changes for 2014 lie under the Grand Cherokee's hood – most notably, the addition of a 3.0-liter diesel V6 for the US market. As we reported earlier, this will be a massaged version of the oil-burning six sold in Europe, and should be good for about 237 horsepower and 407 pound-feet of torque. The Grand Cherokee will also get a new ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission.

Interesting revisions...I really like this new gen!! I think they really hit the spot with it for sure! There's a ton of SRT versions of these around where I live!

The GC is a very handsome ute

Interior will be even better now that they can finally ditch the old radios for the new large screen UConnect

Yup, From what i've been hearing it will have the new 8.4 screen that the 300's have as well as the larger center instrument panel like the Dart's. Combined with the updated LED lighting, 8speed trans its a nice mid cycle refresh for sure. I'm highly considering picking up a srt8 version sometime next year.

OK. I give up. I'm not a Jeep fan, and definitely not a Chrysler fan and wouldn't touch one with a 10ft pole... but I WANT ONE! Dammit... SRT please...

Holy crap, they are giving it Chrysler 300 headlights! Could have been more original.
