Jeep India has reintroduced the Limited (O) AT 4x4 variant on the Meridian, at Rs 36.79 lakh. While this variant was present when the SUV was first launched in India in 2022, it was not available with the minor facelift that arrived late last year. Bookings for this relaunched variant have commenced at Jeep dealerships across the country.
The Meridian Limited (O) AT 4x4 costs Rs 2.3 lakh more than its 4x2 AT counterpart (Rs 34.49 lakh), and Rs 1.7 lakh less than the top-spec Overland 4x4 variant (Rs 38.49 lakh). While the higher-spec Limited (O) trim now gets the 4x4 tech – including terrain modes and hill-descent assist – and gets nearly everything from the top-spec Overland, it misses out on equipment seen such as the Level 2 ADAS suite and leatherette upholstery. Here's the complete the full list of features available with each Meridian variant.
Mechanically, there is no change as the 4x4 versions share the 170hp, 2.0-litre diesel engine and 9-speed automatic gearbox. It should be noted that in 4x2 form, the Limited (O) gets a 6-speed manual option along with the 9-speed torque convertor unit.
Jeep India has also introduced an accessory pack for the Meridian that brings some exterior and interior changes. The package adds decals on the bonnet and along the sides, a chrome surround for the headlights, and customisable ambient lighting inside.
The Jeep Meridian range is currently priced between Rs 24.99 lakh (for the base 5-seat Longitude variant) and Rs 38.49 lakh for the top-spec Overland 4x4. It rivals the likes of the Skoda Kodiaq, Volkswagen Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson.
