Jeep Meridian facelift confirmed to launch later this year

Jeep India has announced that they will be launching the facelift of the Meridian later this year. As of now, the company has not revealed the launch date. The 2024 Meridian is expected to come with some new features and some minor cosmetic changes. Apart from the Meridian, Jeep will also launch the 2024 Wrangler in India on 22nd April.

A test mule was spotted in January 2024, what was special with the test mule was that it was equipped with ADAS sensors in the front. It was on test by Bosch so there is a possibility that the SUV will use ADAS sensors sourced from Bosch. In the spy shots, the ADAS sensors were clearly visible. Apart from ADAS technology, the 2024 Meridian is expected to come with redesigned bumpers in the front as well as rear. It is expected that there will be no changes to the lighting elements. There could be a few subtle changes to the interior as well in terms of the material and colour choices for the upholstery and dashboard.
