The 2026 Jeep Meridian stands as a sophisticated three-row SUV specifically tailored for the Indian market, bridging the gap between compact luxury and full-sized ruggedness. It shares its foundation with the Compass but offers a significantly longer wheelbase and a more commanding road presence to accommodate up to seven passengers. The exterior design is inspired by the flagship Grand Cherokee, featuring a refined seven-slot grille, sleek LED headlamps, and premium chrome detailing that emphasizes its upscale positioning in the D-segment SUV category.
Under the hood, the Meridian is powered by the dependable 2.0-litre Multijet II diesel engine, delivering a balanced performance suitable for both highway cruising and urban commutes. The 2026 update introduces enhanced interior flexibility, most notably the sliding second-row seats in higher trims, which significantly improves legroom and third-row accessibility. Combined with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, and advanced ADAS features, the Meridian remains a top choice for families seeking a premium, "go-anywhere" vehicle with genuine Jeep DNA.
