In a few days, Jeep will introduce the Wrangler’s upgraded version in India. The venerable American company has now declared that later this year, it will also launch a redesigned Meridian in India. According to reports, the business has begun testing the upgraded Meridian on Indian roads.
Since the Meridian’s first release in 2022, Jeep has made minor modifications to it, such as adding new amenities and offering new models. The upscale three-row SUV will get its first noteworthy makeover in the form of this impending facelift.
