2025 Jeep Meridian: Styling Updates
The 2025 Jeep Meridian retains its signature design elements, including the seven-slot grille, unified LED headlights, and trapezoidal wheel arches. However, subtle changes have been made to enhance its overall appeal. The base Longitude variant now features vegan leather upholstery with visible copper stitching, adding a touch of sophistication to the interior. Premium soft-touch materials and the modern design create a refined and elegant cabin atmosphere. While the cosmetic changes are subtle, they require a keen eye to notice the enhancements made to the Meridian's design.
The updated Jeep Meridian offers a range of enhancements, including advanced safety features, enhanced connectivity, and a more sophisticated interior. Key features include ADAS Level 2 with over 70 active and passive safety features, Alexa integration with over 30 features, a 10.25-inch MID and a 10.1-inch HD touchscreen infotainment screen, electronic parking brake, hill descent control, Jeep 4X4 System with Select terrain, AC Preconditioning, smartwatch extension, Vehicle Health Report with alerts, Connected One-Box Navigation Search, remote engine start/stop, electric-adjustable front seats, and a panoramic sunroof. These enhancements make the updated Jeep Meridian a more appealing and technologically advanced option for SUV buyers, something that it was known for before as well.

Powertrain Details
The Jeep Meridian is powered by the same 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine that delivers 170PS and 350 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic torque converter transmission and offers both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations.
Verdict
Jeep Meridian with this upadate has gone from being a Fortuner rival to now being competitive with the likes of Safari and XUV700. This is a sensible move from the brand to position it for a more affordable segment. However, Jeep has not been able to do well in the Indian market and maybe this tweak in startegy could play well for them and help revive the sales of this SUV.
