Over the regular Meridian, it gets additional equipment such as side moulding, puddle lamps, programmable ambient lighting, sunshades, an air purifier, premium carpet mats, optional rear-seat entertainment package and a dashcam. Considering the entry-level Limited variant (only available in manual, 4x2 form) is priced at Rs Rs 29.49 lakh, the Merdian X range starts at Rs 29.99 lakh, and goes up to Rs 40.33 lakh.
Jeep Meridian X: powertrain
Powering the Meridian X is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine producing 170hp and 350Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox or an optional 9-speed torque converter automatic, depending on the variant.
Jeep Meridian facelift also in the works
The Jeep Meridian is set to receive a mid-life update later this year. The updated SUV was spotted testing recently, confirming subtle styling tweaks. Cosmetic changes will likely include updated bumpers and a revised grille, but the biggest addition will be an ADAS suite. Upon arrival, it will continue to rival the Skoda Kodiaq, MG Gloster and the Toyota Fortuner.
