The manual variant ranges from Rs 24.99 lakh to Rs 30.79 lakh, while the automatic model costs from Rs 28.79 lakh to Rs 39.79 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom, pan-India)
Jeep Meridian variants in India
The Jeep Meridian is offered in four broad variants: Longitude, Longitude Plus, Limited (O) and Overland. While all variants are available with an automatic transmission, only the top-spec Overland trim does not have a manual gearbox option.
Which variant of Jeep Meridian is best?
The base-spec Longitude variant of the Jeep Meridian is the most value-for-money variant as it offers features including analogue dials with a multi-info display, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, dual-zone auto AC, 6 airbags, an electronic parking brake and a reverse parking camera with sensors. However, it does not offer a panoramic sunroof, which can be had from the Longitude Plus variant, which also offers 7 seats and a wireless phone charger.
Jeep Meridian dimensions
The Jeep Meridian measures 4769 mm in length, 1859 mm in width and 1698 mm in height, while having a wheelbase of 2782 mm and a ground clearance of 203 mm. What distinguishes it from its rivals, is the fact that it gets a design that looks timeless and an interior that is loaded with tech to its brim.
Jeep Meridian Specifications & Features
The Jeep Meridian is feature-loaded to its gills and gets a fully digital 10.25-inch driver's display and a 10.1-inch infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The full-size SUV also features 8-way power adjustable driver and passenger seats and dual-zone climate control. It also gets a wireless phone charger and an Alpine 9-speaker audio system. Moreover, it comes with automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers. It also comes with a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, which is offered from the one-over-base Longitude Plus variant.
Jeep Meridian engine and transmission options
The Jeep Meridian is powered by a single engine option, the details of which are:
-
A 2-litre diesel engine: It puts out 170 PS and 350 Nm and is mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed automatic transmission. It is available with the choice of a front-wheel-drive (FWD) or an all-wheel-drive (AWD) configuration. The latter, though, is offered only with the automatic transmission.
Jeep Meridian Safety
The Jeep Meridian is yet to be crash-tested by either Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP, and hence its crash safety rating is yet to be known. However, the Jeep Compass, on which the Jeep Meridian is based on, was tested in 2017 by Euro NCAP, where it scored a 5-star safety rating. So, we can expect the Meridian to have a similar rating.
In terms of safety features, the Meridian has six airbags (as standard), electronic stability control (ESC), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an electronic parking brake (EPB), and a 360-degree camera. It also comes with a full suite of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) with features including lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control.
Jeep Meridian Colour Options
The Jeep Meridian is offered with the following colour options:
-
Brilliant Black
-
Pearl White
-
Magnesio Grey
-
Galaxy Blue
-
Techno Metallic Green
-
Velvet Red
-
Silvery Moon
We especially like the Techno Metallic Green colour, as it makes the Meridian look more adventure-ready.
Should you consider the Jeep Meridian?
The Jeep Meridian, despite being a large car, isn’t the most spacious and generally, the cabin lacks the big SUV feel that you expect at this price point. The diesel engine too is on the noisy side be it at medium or high engine speeds.
However, the interior quality is great and there are a lot of features on offer. Moreover, it gets a solid off-road ability with AWD tech and the ride quality and handling is also commendable. So, if you want a comfortable SUV that also has rugged underpinnings, you can choose the Jeep Meridian.
What are alternatives of Jeep Meridian to consider?
The Jeep Meridian competes against the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, and Skoda Kodiaq.
What are the service interval and warranty details of the Jeep Meridian?
