Jeep Meridian just got a price cut and now the range starts at ₹29.49 lakh ex-showroom. Earlier, the prices of the Jeep Meridian started from ₹31.23 lakh ex-showroom. It is expected that these prices are for a limited period only. Jeep sells the Meridian in two trims - Overland and Limited (O). There is also an X package that customers can get.

Jeep has already confirmed that they will be launching the Meridian facelift in the Indian market later this year. The manufacturer has already been testing the Meridian 2.0 on the Indian roads.

The test mule that was spotted was equipped with sensors for the Advanced Driver Aids System. It was on test by Bosch so there is a possibility that the SUV will use ADAS sensors sourced from Bosch. 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.
