The Meridian X is priced at Rs 29.99 lakh (ex-showroom), which is Rs 50,000 more than the standard “Limited” model, which is priced at Rs 29.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Notably, for the same premium, higher trim levels such as the “Limited (O)” and “Overland” variations can also be ordered with the Meridian X package. These eight extra features come packaged with the kit.
Cosmetic Updates
To set it apart from the other versions, the Meridian X has a grey roof, ORVMs, and grey inlays on its 18-inch alloy wheels.
Side Steps
Side stairs are added to the Meridian X for easier access and departure. This is a helpful addition in the event that senior citizens use the Meridian on a regular basis.
Ambient Footwell Lighting and Mats
With stylish floor mats and ambient footwell lights, the interior of the Meridian X is more appealing.
Sunshades
All four of the Meridian X’s windows have sunshades with the Jeep logo, providing you with more privacy and a shield from the sun.
Underbody lights
Puddle lamps in the colour white are installed beneath the body of the Meridian X. When parking in a dark area, these underbody lights come in handy.
Air Purifier
The Meridian X comes with an air purifier that takes up one cup holder. It guarantees that there are no contaminants in the air you breathe while driving.
Rear Seat Entertainment
Additionally, a rear seat entertainment kit with separate screens for second row passengers is available as an option for the Meridian X. Ideal for keeping your children occupied on a lengthy road trip.
Dash Cam
A dual-channel front and rear dashcam is equipped on the Meridian X to enhance safety in the event of an accident.
With amenities like a 10.1-inch infotainment screen with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a premium 9-speaker Alpine sound system, a 10.2-inch digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, dual zone climate control, and powered and ventilated front seats, the Jeep Meridian has always been a feature-rich SUV. Six airbags, ABS, EBD, hill start assist, hill hold assist, a 360-degree camera, and a tyre pressure monitoring system are all included as standard safety features.
A 2-liter turbo diesel engine producing 170 PS and 350 Nm powers the Jeep Meridian. It can be paired with a 6-speed manual (4X2 only) or a 9-speed automatic transmission. It is available with both front-wheel and all-wheel drive.
The pricing of the Jeep Meridian ranges from Rs 29.49 lakh (ex-showroom) to Rs 39.83 lakh (ex-showroom). It competes with the Skoda Kodiaq and Toyota Fortuner, two other full-size SUVs.
