Jeep has just launched the special edition Meridian X, priced at Rs 34.27 lakh (ex-showroom).
This new version comes with stylish updates and added features.
The Meridian X sports a sleek grey roof and grey-accented alloy wheels. It also includes extra features compared to the regular Meridian. These features are side moulding, puddle lamps, programmable ambient lighting, sunshades, an air purifier, premium carpet mats, an optional rear-seat entertainment package, and a dashcam. The price is Rs 50,000 more than the base Limited (O) variant.
Under the hood, the Meridian X is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 170 bhp and 350 Nm of peak torque. Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual gearbox or an optional 9-speed automatic. It is not yet confirmed if the Meridian X will be available with both gearbox options or if it will offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Jeep’s Meridian is due for a mid-life update later this year. Recently spotted during testing, the updated model is expected to feature minor styling tweaks, including updated bumpers and a revised grille.
The biggest upgrade will be the addition of an ADAS suite. Once launched, it will continue to compete with the Skoda Kodiaq, MG Gloster, and Toyota Fortuner.
